Only praises....the excellent staff makes it such a successful dining experience and combined with the quality of the offerings, a better place is hard to find.

This was our favorite restaurant while living in the area. We had our favorite waiter, Pablo, on speed dial. The food is spectacular as always but they relaxed their dress code. It was disappointing to see people in this high end restaurant wearing sloppy clothes. It was always a dress place. Men required to at least wear jackets. Waiters in... More

The Prime Rib has been a top contender for Baltimore fine dining awards for quite some time. During the past five or so years it has only improved that image and gone forward. The food is exemplary, the service efficient. professional, but not overbearing. Drinks are large and well poured. The meat is all first class and cooked to order... More

When I saw the name of this restaurant, I thought there was no way I would go to it because I do not like prime rib; however, it turns out this place serves excellent seafood! Baltimore is famous for their crab cakes so I decided to have one, and it was delicious (one of the best I've had) because there... More

I don't mind paying for good food, and have done so happily, but honestly, this experience was average at best. At $100/head, we left shaking our heads, puzzled at what the hype is all about. One of us had the prime rib, and the other the prime rib steak (the same cut of meat, but the first is broiled while... More

Amazing food...the steak came out cooked as ordered and the sides (mushrooms, asparagus) were fresh and local. Be prepared to drop some money on food and drinks! Great for entertaining guests, but probably not my first stop for a great meal on a regular basis. The staff is professional and treat you right. The decor is dated and the carpeting... More

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but what a wonderful meal. I can see why it is so highly ranked. My fiance had the prime rib - it was HUGE and delicious. See picture... I had the filet and it was also excellent. The service was superb and the jazz trio was a very nice touch. The... More

This Baltimore Icon boasts an excellent array of meat and fish dishes, from the cut they take their name from to a Chilean sea bass that tastes like butter. Our favorite server is Aaron. All class, he is pleasant and charming without being intrusive, and will get you in and out if you need to get to a show. If... More
