In your kitchen, your recipe, or in ours; you can always taste our passion for perfection.

This is a friendly, classic spot in the midst of the Baltimore Inner Harbor zone. We saw locals and tourists inside the brightly lit, clean seating areas (in addition to a well-peopled bar). Our corner booth was cozy, and the big menu had selections for everyone (although a bit limited for vegetarians). The drinks were fresh, and house-made cocktail wasn’t sweet or syrupy. You can go for high-end, pricey seafood items or not; having for the special chef’s made crab cakes, I can affirm they were handmade, well formed, and freshly cooked. Everything was savory and delicious, and our server was

Not quite like I remembered. My church used to have crab feast all the time we would always stop past the harbor coming down from Philly. Phillips seafood was one of the places that even although we were going to go get some seafood people would still stop past Phillips for their food. So we went from nostalgic reasons on Sunday. I'll wait her was awesome, he was friendly you did his job he kept us informed as to why our food was taking so long instead of having us just sit there wondering. The calamari was really good the oysters were really good I was a little disappointed in the crab legs they

Service was absolutely excellent, The food was impeccable and prepared fairly fast, I believe what I got was called the steam trio? And I think the fish of the day was sea bass but my memory is not very good. Whatever it was it was great! I was thinking about getting two crab cakes instead of this assortment but I'm glad I got the assortment, The crab cakes were excellent, but they were equal to exceeded by everything else on the plate. I'm only in Maryland for a couple more months but I think I'm coming back here at least once more if I can, or ordering it out at least

We got a lot of questions about the menu, and the server clearly explain us everything we asked. At first we were seated inside the restaurant but we want the whole crabs, the lady said it should be outside and even suggested what to order based on what we want. We got seafood/crab feast, which it has 6crabs, 1lb of shrimp, red potatoes, sausage, and corn. And we also got the cream of crab (totally recommended! It was so good!!) and we got also the cheese burger. The check comes out around $120 (18% tips included already) which we shared by 4ppl and we’re full! Will come back if we plan to visit

This place is king of the hill for a reason. Amazing seafood but the rest of the food is amazing too. Nothing to complain about other than the hour wait (which on a Saturday night is expected) and now crabs being sold in the restaurant only on the outside patio. I waited an hour to eat inside thinking the opposite and was not willing to wait another. Other than that the two items that stole the show were the crab and shrimp spring roll and the coleslaw!!!!

Very nice place I would definitely go there again. The food was very tasty and the service was superb, I really enjoyed our waitress she was very attentive and kind. The clam chowder was delicious,the lobster bisque was not so good but overall the rest of the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to go by yourself or with a group of friends... Enjoy!!!

Food was fresh and delicious. We made our reservations on Open Table and had to wait only a few minutes. There is was and hour wait for guests who didn’t have reservations. Service was prompt and food was very good. Our server was new but still was trying her best which we appreciated. Very positive experience.
