Rec Pier Chop House 1715 Thames Street, Baltimore, MD 21231

"Our dinner at the Rec Pier Chop House last Tuesday 1/9 was absolutely fantastic and we will visit again when we are in Baltimore next January. I could go on for a good bit about the food—all of which was excellent—and the vibe of your establishment. . .but the star of the show was our server, Stephanie. She was thorough, professional and took phenomenal care of our group of seven! Every single person in our party commented on her service and demeanor, even a few days after the dinner. I think that puts Stephanie in “Rock Star” status as far as our group goes. I have come across quite a few really good servers and other professionals in the service and hospitality industries in the past few years, which has almost been a little surprising after those Covid years. At this establishment, EVERY individual we encountered was Top Drawer—the Hosts, (front bar) Bartender, Wait Staff and the (back bar) Bartender. Kudos to each of them and to their management team who clearly knows how to attract and retain such talented professionals."

"I was disappointed to have been served a spoilt dish - fried calamari. It tasted sour and off, and my sister even said the first she put in her mouth was kinda slimy. I have eaten fried calamari at countless restaurants, so I am sure when one is off. Had to tell the server to take it away. The rockfish wasn't flavorful as I would like, but it was fresh. Lovely atmosphere, and there was live music, so five points for the atmosphere. I must say the waiter did really well, but I just wasn't impressed about the food."

"This restaurant is located inside the Pendry Hotel in Baltimore. From the entrance to the restaurant the decor is beautiful (went during the Holiday Season) the staff was welcoming from the valet to the hostess. Since I arrived before their 5pm evening open I sat at the bar and had an espresso martini and my friend had their “improved”French 75 . When it was time for dinner I ordered as the appetizer their AC Meatballs , the meatballs were good the sauce and the ricotta blended together very well. I recommend you ask for bread to scoop up the delicious sauce. For my entree I ordered the Linguine FINI. It’s a pasta dish with lump crab meat and jalapeños on top of a creamy spicy almost like vodka sauce. Our server Jaylah (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was very helpful and knowledgeable about the food. I recommend you treat yourself (or a few friends) and check out this restaurant."

"Jasmine was our server. She was kind, fast, and professional. The burger was super good, and the broccoli was fresh and well seasoned."
