had so much fun! came in to a big welcome and lot of smiling faces eager to help at the hostess stand. immediately knew we were going to have a good time. Our waiter was solomon who was awesome. we’d go back just to sit at his table again. Not only was he so knowledgeable about the menu and his recommendations were spot on but he was also super funny! we enjoyed our night so much, it really made our friends birthday a special one.

We went for my birthday last night and it was fabulous. My daughters, ages 4 and 8, love the charcuterie, and did great splitting a Caesar salad and a pasta dish. My husband and I split a steak, and with dessert, it was the perfect meal.

Anniversary dinner - we wanted a rather quiet time so selected an early time in late afternoon. Since we had not been before and the restaurant group has a great reputation, we decided to order the chef's choice sampler. Wow what fun. Food was great (we are Sushi lovers) and the pace was perfect. The wait staffers were all superb and our primary walked us through all the selections as we went. She was very knowledgeable and kept an eye on our table so that the timing of each selections was just perfect. We plan on returning soon!

Great restaurant with tons of seasonal options. Will be be back for the spanish rice, plantains and chicken seasonal meal. Ambience was super nice and calm, perfect for a chill low key date night. Service was great, staff was lovely and welcoming, and place was near major tourist spots in Baltimore.
