| - Being from Baltimore, (Hon!), I've been dying to try this place, and what better time than on a Sunday for Ravens football. There was a small crowd, and lots of other Baltimorons wearing purple Ravens jerseys and cheering on my home team.
The decor is bar/pub, and I did like the open-air aspect, since it kept the cigarette smoke to a minimum. Everyone was very friendly, and there were plenty of nice tv's to watch the game on.
The food was very good, I had the MD style steamed shrimp, which came w/ lots of onions (very baltimore...), good amount of spice, and were tasty, though a tad overcooked. The sliders were excellent, and the wings were meaty and tasty...yet not what I ordered...which brings me to the service.
If I could give a separate rating for the service, there would be a whole lot of grey and verrry little orange on them stars above. The waiter/bartender took a while to even stop by our table (of which there were only about 3 or 4 with people at them), and didn't bother to write down our order. Ummm...time to retake that memory course, because he came back about 15 minutes later to "go over our order", and didn't get one thing correct. So just when we thought food was being delivered, it hadn't even been ordered yet.
I ordered a slider w/cheese (how they come anyway) for my son, and it arrived without cheese. (strike one) I ordered the Maryland wings (with old bay) and they brought regular buffalo wings. (strike two) My wife ordered the taco salad, which the menu states comes in one of those tortilla bowls, and it looked like an order of nachos from Taco Bell on some chips with FREEZING cold meat. (strike three)
Three separate times, they came by with an order of crab dip (that looked tasty) asking if we ordered it. Guess the first two times they didn't believe us. He very rarely came by our table to notice my empty beer glass, maybe they were short on Fat Tire? I don't know.
So...great food, especially for a Baltimore-boy, yet horrible horrible service. Please, WRITE DOWN MY ORDER!! You're not impressing me when you try to memorize it. Especially when you go 0-for-3 in guessing what we ordered - and maybe check with me a few minutes later instead of when the food should be on my table.
4 out of 5 for the food, and as Dean Wormer said to Mr. Blutarsky about his grade point average...... Zero....Point.....Zero.....for the service. Hoping this is just bad luck, as I'll probably be back next Sunday to watch the Ravens beat down the Steelers, but I'll bring a pen and paper for you, Mr. Bartender. Please write it down.
