Alizée - Baltimore

It was a quiet night with not much activity, but it seemed like the hotel was generally slow. I didn’t mind, as the peaceful atmosphere allowed me to get some work done. I ordered the Roasted Chicken and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion; it was truly delightful. My server, Juan, was very attentive, frequently checking in to see if I needed refills and to ensure the food was satisfactory. For dessert, I had the Cookie Sandwich, which featured the hotel’s cookies—my personal favorite whenever I stay here. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit if you’re in town for business.

I went with my partner tonight and noticed that the menu has changed since my last visit to Baltimore, when some friends took me there. The restaurant is located in a hotel, so it wasn’t very busy. However, there were a few tables occupied when we arrived for dinner. We chose to sit in the bar area, where Ricardo served us with great enthusiasm. I tried the hamburger, and we will definitely return in the future!

So I should have read the reviews first. My experience mirrors much of what has already been said in previous reviews. There was no one in the restaurant, which should have give us a clue, but we went ahead and honored our reservation. Our waiter, who was also the bartender...and I believe the cook was very pleasant. The food was horrible. The wings were old, hard and flavorless. The Deviled Eggs were unimaginative and plain. The Shrimp and Chicken Pasta looked like a dish a 12 year old would make and it too had no seasoning. The burger I ordered Medium Rare and it came out completely raw. The lettuce and tomato was old and wilted, but I would have dealt with that had the burger been edible. We left still hungry and totally dissatisfied with the experience. Quite honestly, the best thing about this restaurant is the name...but don't get it twisted, the experience in no way lives up to the name. Needless to say, we won't be back.

I had a disappointing experience at the restaurant. The surf and turf crab dish contained bits of shells, and my date found hair in her water. Despite waiting around 20 minutes for our food, my meat arrived cold, and my date's meat was completely raw and also cold. The ceviche was a letdown as it was just three shrimp in a cup with some garnish, rather than a proper ceviche. To top it off, the rosé we received tasted like white wine. Overall, it wasn't a great experience.

Great place. Parking validated if you use garage under hotel. Spacious bar area with big screen. Weekly specials and happy hour available.
