"baltimore city restaurantweek, I love you! I chose this restaurant for winter restaurant week lunch and I was very happy that I did it. overall I had a very good visit. I went in and was immediately greeted by kelsey. I was informed that I could sit there where I wanted to sit and where I was ever on the level, and they would find me and take care of me. they did. I decided to sit on the 2nd level because it was a bit warmer up there and I could have time for myself to pick up on my yelp. I got menus right away, even though I already knew what I wanted. I ordered immediately and was informed that I did great selection and great selections in the did. I ordered their firecracker shrimp appetizer and B.A.L.T sandwich as my escape. the appetizer was nicely plated! the B.A.L.T is where we have problems, but before I get to it, I'll let the size finish. the french fries I got with my sandwich were so good that I stopped eating my shrimp appetizer because I had to eat every one of these curvy spiced pommes. they were so good! They didn't even need ketchup! this B.A.L.T sandwich was so sad that I cried on my teller. I have a small piece of speck for each half. they gave me all the head of salats and I did not decide to get the avocado and mayo, but 1 miserable piece of speck on every half. from this reason this place gets a 4th only the reason why I didn't give them 3 is because the young lady who helped (kelsey) was fantastic! She was so sweet and friendly. She came all the time to the right time and every time she has to see me, she had to run up to check on little old me and seemed to have no problem with that. I would eat there again, but no possibility in the hell would I order the B.A.L.T sandwich. finally worth a visit!"

"Probably one of the worst dining experience I 've had in a long time. In short, the restaurant demands an upscale and premium price, but delivered little in quality of the food and service. We had a medium sized group. It took about 10 mins for our drinks to come, and another 40 mins for our food to come. During that time, the waitress only checked with us for once. Mind you, this was on a Saturday night with the restaurant at about 25-30% capacity when we were there. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the special dish of the night. Almost every single one of them missed the mark. The walleye special was mediocre at best. Veggies are ok, but the fish was bland. The salmon came little raw. We don 't have issue with raw fish, we love sushi. But this dish definitely did not call for raw salmon. The chicken sandwich was overcooked and had too much breading. Half of the sandwich had bacon and pickle, and half of the sandwich didn 't. Too bad, because I don 't think the breading wouldn 't taste bad if it weren 't overcooked. The fish and chips also had similar issue. It was fried for too long. The fish was too greasy, and very bland. It didn 't even come with a slice of lemon as advertised. The only redeeming food was the cheese curds. We didn 't care for the curry ketchup , whatever that was. The curds were decent, not overcooked, and pretty decent. Lastly, the drinks. Never again. Taps weren 't available. A Heineken is $7. A lemon drop shot is $10. And the rest of the signature cocktails are anywhere between $10 to $15 each, and none that we had was very good. They definitely couldn 't justify the price they were listed at. Overall, I wouldn 't recommend anyone to spend any money at this establishment. It 's such a shame, the hotel it 's attached to is great. I wish the hotel would 've selected a better restaurant that its guests could go to."
