Glarus Chocolatier
644 S Exeter St
Baltimore, MD 21202
(410) 727-6601
Wonderful locations eludes an appeal to luxurious chocolate at elevated prices (they must pay their rest right?) Don't get me wrong, the chocolates are quite exquisite, specially the chocolate covered expresso beans. The attendant although extremely friendly in nature is quite ineducated in the art of chocolate making.
Overall: 2 stars

What are you people thinking, tried this once, would I go back? umm no!!! Yeah yeah I read the other reviews claiming the place to be pricey, some say that you get 3 meals out of the large bowl. Some say you get free yogourt. Here is my quarrell. Why do you want to go to a PRETTY MUCH OMELETTE BAR with noodles? ...you are pretty much paying to put together your own meal and then someone to stir fry it for 5 minutes. Here is why I am so torn..OK....I like the fact I get to pick my ingredients. I am a foodie afterall, but the other problem is...that if you are not a foodie, you have the issue of some of these poor "victims" here and there wirtting reviews...you will 1. utilize too much hot spice and burn the crapp out of your tongue, or 2. mix two totally contrasting flavors and have crappy tasting food. So umm is a give and take...here...on the other note they have a gluten free menu that will help you locate ingredients that wont make you sick. I guess picking your ingredients is part of the appeal, but then so is going to a market and preparing things at home...unless you tend to burn stuff.
As far as wine choices, the are very minimal and the set up is self serve. This is no fancy swancy date choice
My rating: two stars
