The ghost of Blue Hill Tavern has been reincarnated into a sleek, modern American tavern with major date-night vibes. Union Hill is plating up steak frites, tuna tartare, and a shrimp “noodle” ceviche with spicy citrus broth that’s just the right amount of extra. Also, weekend brunch is available. Pro-tip: Add ice cream to your French toast.
Fallston just got its own (no so) little Chesapeake shack. Natalie’s slings local comfort food dishes with a side of live music. It’s part seafood feast, part tiki party.
Charles Village is spicing things up. Lao Sze Chuan serves Sichuan with swagger, dumplings that melt in your mouth, Kung Pao chicken with a kick, and a whole roasted sea bass that arrives like a showpiece.
Part Sicilian pizzeria, part café, part sunshine-and-picnic-table situation, Doppio hits all the right notes. The arancini are cheesy perfection and the plain slice? Surprisingly profound. Sometimes less really is more.
From pop-up at Harborplace to its permanent in Fells Point, Oleum is a must for plant-based babes. Their Dreamsicle mocktail is proof that non-alcoholic menus are the new cocktail menus. And yes, we’re here for it.
