The food is exactly what you'd expect, and they have an extensive on-tap cocktail list, which is awesome. The view is wonderful. What's always irked me about this place is that they are policy zealots. Let's say you want to get one more happy hour drink in before 7pm (like I did.). Well, if it's 6:55 and the server doesn't think they can make it to the terminal in under 5 minutes, you're not going to get that last happy hour drink. Rules are rules I guess, but in a laid back city like Baltimore it feels out of place. Once I came in with about 12 people and was told that the dining room was not yet open. No problem, we can order drinks at the bar and enjoy them at the table until dinner service starts, right? Nope, it's against their policy. Things like that don't make you feel very "welcome," and feeling welcome is a place where most Baltimore establishments excel.
