Water for Chocolate Catering LLC

We tried this place for the first time during Baltimore Restaurant week. We oderednoff the pre fix menu and ala carte. They did not disappoint. All meals were freshly cooked and the server Thomas was super polite and welcoming. We were able to get a table with no reservations in a cozy nook. My duck risotto (not pictured bc ai tore it up) was creamy perfection. All items were delicious and the sweet potato bread pudding was an excellent highlight.

Water for Chocolate is far more than fine dining! On a visit to Baltimore with the Ben Barber Culinary/Restaurant Team, we were looking for a place that could accommodate a reservation for 30. One of my cousins came out the box with Water for Chocolate! This intimate dining establishment showcases the talent, love, and passion of Chef/Owner Sean Guy and staff. Our reservation was for 30 people at 5pm on a Saturday. However, when we arrived we were a group of 50! Chef Guy and crew didn't even blink! With himself at the helm of the kitchen, and staff of 3, he had us all fed with dishes such as Gluten-Free Charred Red Snapper with Cilantro-Lime Rice and Broccolini, Vegetarian Black-Eyed Red Curry, Duck Risotto, and Ribeye Steaks; all within an hour and a half! Baby, let me tell you! Chef did not miss! You could see the discipline and taste the care that was put into every dish! There wasn't a single dish that was not worthy of extensive praise! If you're every in the Baltimore area, or a local. Make it a point to open your heart to all that is Water for Chocolate. Check it Out!!!

The plating was exquisite. The food was high quality. The restaurant was cozy perfect for a lunch or dinner date. This is not a place to bring larger parties to ; this is a place that is very intimate. My only concern was when I went the chef did not want to change the recipe at all but all wanted was no jalapeño which is understandable ! Overall this was a delightful meal although it was a little hard to eat because it was too spicy for my pallet .

Baaabbyyyyyyyy!!!! You might as well stop reading this and head right on over to their website and make that brunch reservation. The whole experience was perfection, from Thomas (our greeter/server) to the mint water, to the DELICIOUS food prepared by Chef Sean Guy. This was def a top notch experience and we'll definitely be back to try other menu items. NOTE: There are plenty of vegan options to choose from!

Closer to a 4.5 in terms of overall quality, but because the owner was so diligent and considerate, on top of the tasty dishes being extremely delicious, I am giving it 5 stars and I would recommend anyone visiting Baltimore to give it a shot. The highlights were the WFC Bowl, the Crab Quesadilla, and the French Toast Dippers. The pork belly was cooked to perfection, and the lacinato kale was the most delicious kale I have had anywhere, mainly because it's so difficult to make kale tasty. Having an egg and black beans also made the dish more savory. The French toast dipper was tasty as well with the perfect sauce, making it sweet but not overly sugary. The crab quesadilla was full of crab meat inside, which was a definite plus. I personally wouldn't include rice on the side, but I could see how there could be some that would use the rice to make themselves fuller. The BBQ shrimp & grits had a good amount of jumbo shrimp, and the sauce didn't taste like anything I have ever had in shrimp & grits, and tasted pretty good. The jalapeño cornbread was very tasty! The salmon belly tacos had spoiled salmon so we didn't get to taste the actual taco. However, the owner was considerate enough to take it off of our bill, which we thought was very nice, because we only sought to let our server know to ensure the salmon didn't get to other customers. They were out of the jerk duck confit, which I would have loved to try, but what we had was already good enough to provide me with a pleasant dining experience! Very much recommended!

This place is absolutely a hidden gem! It was highly recommended and I am so glad we had our meal there. I love how it felt like we were inside the home and kitchen of the chef. Our curated meal was not only pleasing to look at, each dish was carefully crafted and tasted amazing. I got the Blue Plate Special which was the best jambalaya I've had outside of South Louisiana! It had a fire grilled lobster tail, scallops, shrimp and andouille sausage. Chef put his entire foot into that dish! This is the perfect spot for an intimate dinner and the smooth playlist doesn't interfere with table conversations. Do yourself a favor and book a table right away. Kudos to Chef, Diante our server!

Perfect first time back in person meal! Our sever Caleb was incredible and had great recommendations. Chef Guy is a master of his craft. Can't wait to visit again! Everything was delicious, but the jerk duck, meatloaf sliders and chicken dumplings were our favorites. The sweet potato bread pudding was also outstanding! Helped that we were the only party there for most of the meal. Great atmosphere!

This is a very cozy spot, perfect for date night or date brunch with your boo or to catch up with a good friend the atmosphere opens up the conversation really and we truly liked that. To be honest the variety of menu options were good 😊 it offered a decent amount of different things . My husband and I can really say we liked this place. It also has a place where you can eat outside which was good for when the weather is just right and I’m talking about not to Hot 🥵 nor too Cold 🥶 but just right . The only downside is that its rather small or should I say very tight to move around in a wheelchair or baby stroller comfortably, but otherwise this is a really a nice spot I’d love to see them upsize maybe move to another location.
