Went here with my wife and 5 yo for a nice dinner while we stayed at the attached Curio hotel. We asked the hostess for bar seating since we were early (5:30 pm), casually dressed, and looking to make an nice early dinner of happy hour appetizers. She seated us immediately at a low top in the bar.

Believe the bad reviews.

We waited for a server to even acknowledge us. They would look away as I tried to make eye contact. Finally, I asked someone as she blew past, and she said someone was assigned to us and would be right with us. They weren't.

We watched as other tables with no kids were attended to as soon as they sat down. But we waited for 25 minutes after the hostess seated us without the first acknowledgement from the wait staff (e.g., no one even took drink orders or greeted us after the hostess). We walked out, and no one so much as lifted a finger to stop us.

I can only guess they don't want kids there.
My 5yo was not poorly behaved or anything. If you have kids and you're in the inner harbor looking you treat your family to good seafood, go somewhere else.
