Fantastic place to visit if you’re in Baltimore. Their cream of crab soup is a 10/10. If you ever go for brunch, order the donut of the day - the chef makes these amazing donuts (fruity pebbles, cinnamon toast crunch, etc) and they are to die for. I love their oysters and if you love oysters to, you won’t be disappointed. I would recommend sitting at the outdoor bar because the bartenders there make your experience that much greater. It’s impossible to not tip them because they surely provide outstanding customer service. I am never disappointed when I come here and I will continue to go here because it’s a different experience every-time.
