Dear Alizee,

Thank you for restoring confidence in Baltimore food. My recent visit to your restaurant was the first time in memory that everything was right about a restaurant in Baltimore. My wife and I drove to the front of your restaurant and the car was taken by the Valet. We walked into your dining room which was quite cozy especially give the size of the space. We were seated at a very nice red marble topped table next to the piano (which was later played in a very mello ambiance enhancing way). Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. Your cocktail list was inspring. I had great drink with Hendricks Gin, Grapefruit Juice and topped with Prosecco. Great combo! My wife had a wine flight which worked out perfectly, since we could pick a small amount of wine to go with each portion of the meal.

The salads all looked so yummy, we had a hard time picking between them. Ultimately, we got the ceasar salad which inched out out previous favorite at The Brewers Art. We also got a frisee salad with fried oysters, potatoes.

For the main portion of the meal, I had Escargot in a fantastic consume' which was perfectly executed. The parmesan foam added a nice touch to it. My wife had potato-crusted rockfish with crab-stuffed squash flowers and sprouted black eyed peas. Just fantastic.

Dessert- Beignets with salted caramel sauce and homemade pistachio gelato. Ahhhh what an end to a perfect meal.

What really came across in this meal was the care and skill that went into everything. Each dish had multiple components which all were exceptional. It was not cheap mind you ($140 after tip), but it was really fantastic.

Verdict: Great for a special occasion of if you want a great meal and have some money.
