Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Terry, Baltimore Fri, 6 October 2023

I thought the food was good as well as the drinks; our server was trying his best.

Liked: The burger and Pad Thai was excellent.
Disliked: They didn’t realize that there was a huge concert at CFG and weren't prepared for walk-ins and barely prepared for the reservations.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Stephen, Baltimore MD Wed, 7 November 2018

Made a reservation and were seated quickly. Waited 45minutes for a drink and to order. Appetizers never showed for another 1 hour and were incorrect. After 2 hours we were given a check and told we would not be getting our food. Bar closed early and people starting leaving to find other restaurants for dinner - by then it was too late as we had a show to attend. So bad it was almost (very almost) funny. Pick a different place if you want to actually eat in a short time frame or at all.

Liked: Friendly staff and management.
Disliked: Never made our dinner.
