Reviews
We stopped in twice because we really wanted to try the bacon-wrapped goat cheese jalapeño poppers. The first time we weren’t hungry enough, so we made a point to come back later and I’m glad we did. They were excellent. Not a huge portion, but it’s an appetizer and felt appropriate. They were rich and well balanced, definitely a fork-and-knife situation, and worth the ~$14.
The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal here. Tons of dark wood, historic character, and that old-Baltimore charm that makes you feel like the place has stories. It’s warm and inviting.
Perfect stop for drinks and a snack, especially on a cold day by the water. I’d absolutely go back if only for another hot rum cider and those poppers again.
BUT my spouse and I ordered two ‘Fancy Burgers’ and two beers. When we received the receipt, we noticed the Fancy Burgers were charged at $21 each, while the printed menu we ordered from lists them at $18. We were told afterward that the menu price had changed but hadn’t been updated yet. The waitress could not give us a refund of the difference or adjust the price because the owner wasn’t there.
The receipt total did add up correctly based on the higher price, but we weren’t informed of the increase before ordering, which was a bit confusing at the time.
We understand menu changes and price increases 100%, but this was straight up false advertising.
About twenty friends were there to celebrate with a special person. The entire staff were attentive, efficient, kind and pleasant. All the details, from appetizers to dessert, were perfect, and Melissa, the owner, spent time making sure everything went as planned and more, when the air chilled outside and the celebration moved indoors. We were effortlessly acommodated.
I see more visits there in my future. Thanks for a great night!
Service was fine, could’ve been better. We did have to clean our own table up.
The oyster po-boy was in the bottom 5% of ones I’ve tried and quite small. The fries were good though and it’s a pretty pub… Just needs help on those recipes…
