| - My girlfriend and I were in the neighborhood to see a movie, and we wanted to find a place that could accommodate both salmon for me and steak for her. When we saw the Baltimore House while driving, it looked like the perfect spot, so we excitedly parked and went in. When you walk in you are greeted with a mostly empty fish cooler, one can only assume that at the height of this establishment's popularity the cooler was filled with fresh fish, but now sat sadly barren. I say it was mostly empty because it still held a few pieces of fake greenery with plastic fish on top, as a decoration that I appreciated. The lighting was a combination of bright neon and nothing else, which created an ambiance very similar to a strip club, making the massive but unfortunately mostly empty dining room feel like an undiscovered cavern adorned with various seafaring-related decorations. We were led through the cavern to a separate dining room that was a striking departure from the first. It was reminiscent of your grandparents house, but again, filled with sea-related decorations. I was hoping to get a simple salmon filet, so you would think I wouldn't have a problem with that at a seafood restaurant, but turns out there is no salmon at all at this seafood restaurant. Before we realized this, we ordered two iced teas that we didn't even take the straw wrappers off of, but we were still charged for the drinks when we told the waitress that we were leaving, $5 for two unsweetened iced teas. This place may have been the bees knees 15 years ago, but these days it's a hollow shell of what I assume it used to be.
EDIT: Bumped up to two stars from one because they have a kick-ass Bruce Lee statue outside
