I have been living literally across the street from this place and everyone has been telling me that I need to try this place. I wasn't impressed with their cuisine.
Their atmosphere is absolutely exquisitive, refreshingly spunky and yet sophisticatly romantic. Dimly lit and adorned with splash of colorful yet intriguing art.
The service was friendly yet a little absent minded when it comes to pointing out there is a hair in the tacos. Now their food, nothing to write home about, I had a couple of things from their appertizer menu, the fish tacos and their calamari and everything was well executed specially the calamari's red sauce. As I said nothing to write home about. My date had their Thursday special, wich is their Fried Chicken special. It came with cole slaw, mash potatoes and three large pieces of chicken. She said it was delicious, and she knows her fried chicken so I will take her word of expert on this one, as I tried only a little bitty piece.
Now the cocktails were very tasty, possibly slightly too overpriced for Baltimore Standards, but rest assured that the bartender does know what he/she is doing.
Overall not a bad experience, the tacos should have been written off due to the hair, but the waitress seemed to claim amnesia when we pointed it out. We should try another nightly special to really assess this place. Wenesdays are filet mignon special night. Maybe then...
