jillybeans32: The shrimp and grits were phenomenal. Also try the daily pop tart of course.
Joel Leggett: Homemade Pop Tarts are killer! Biscuits and gravy was to die for :)
Bianca A: Cast iron scrambles are delicious. It's a big portion, + scalloped potatoes, but awesome. Share a homemade poptart! Can't wait to try more off their menu!

Rachel L: This was an amazing meal. We loved the oysters, vidiala Onion tart with foie gras, asparagus soup, burrata, and salted caramel creme Brûlée.
Chris Capaccio: We had foie gras, asparagus soup, Alaskan halibut, lamb loin/shoulder, and the crustless cheesecake special. All were excellent! Preparation of the halibut was a stand-out even in a sea of excellence!
Maria Pane: Fabulous food and service
Angela Wen: Chocolate tart with macadamia nut is one of the best desserts I've ever had!! Also good is crab cake, lobster mac and cheese, grilled octopus, and of course, the oysters!
Christopher Lorn: Chocolate tart and dulce de leche bread pudding all the way. Never knew a seafood restaurant could do dessert so well.
Debbie Barbie Gaydos: Food is amazing... Just close your eyes and choose. I can't wait to try the lobster roll
Washington Post: The smoked salmon is the heart of the Salmon BLT, flaked generously over earthy flaxseed bread and layered with salty bacon, tart mustard-dill aioli, tomato and bitter greens. www.wapo.st/40eats
christan fish: 1/2 pound Salmon Spread, 1/2 pound Classic Shrimp Salad
Teresa Anders: The Salmon BLT is amazing, can't go wrong.

Dave Fishman: Amazing cocktails: Santa Sandia was my fav. Ceviche Sinaloense was terrific (got it w/out mayo): shredded shrimp & pico in typical ceviche tartness. Best tacos: Cochinita Pibil, Lengua, & Pescado.
Chris Richards: House beer is brewed by Union. Nice and tart!
Daniel Grayson: Awesome mezcal selection and a delectable brunch.

Jenny A.: The breakfast burritos are a big portion for the small price, but heavy + full of random ingredients that taste the same. Try their simple + fresh ricotta tart instead! Pomegranate lemonade also great
Brian Lacey: Creative sandwiches. Pretty good burger. Sit outside if it's sunny. :)
Mary H. Nahorniak: The dinner menu is only available from 4-8 p.m., but it's worth fitting in a stop so you can get the corn cakes with shredded pork. Read more.

BaltimoreGal: Seasonal tapas of tomatoes and watermelon with cursed goat cheese and olive oil. Beautiful & delicious.
Morgan Jane: A friend of mine brought me here for my Birthday, I cant thank her enough! Everything was fantastic!
TK 🍦🍷: Delicious and decadent Spanish food in a big space. We loved the beet purée with almonds and the porcini mushrooms with bacon. The churros for dessert were brilliant -- great for sharing.
David Carl Olson: A delightful place with a simple menu and great soup. Love the tuna melt, love the tomato aspic. Pot pie crust a little soggy . . . But I love to share this place with visitors to town.
The Baltimore Sun: From our review: "The tomato aspic is a must, not only for what it signifies but for how good it is." Read more: http://bsun.md/OnZ71X
Ashley Raethel: Excellent place for lunch. The asparagus and goat cheese salad is amazing. And save room for dessert!
