We are seeing a show at the Hippodrome next Saturday and staying the night at the Hilton in the Inner Harbor. Wondering if anyone here has some good recs for restaurants near the inner harbor? I'm looking at a map and see mostly chains - Cheesecake Factory, Phillips Seafood, Ruth's Chris - which we could just eat at here in DC. Thanks! |
Maximon, Bygone for a really fancy meal and amazing view, Rusty Scupper for an amazing view but just OK food. There are some nice places in Mt Vernon which aren't too far away. Charleston looks interesting but I haven't eaten there yet. I ate at Oceanaire recently and it was overpriced and just OK. Farther away but an easy Uber ride is Little Havana in Federal Hill. It's less fancy, cheaper, on the water, and yummy. They don't take reservations though so it can be a wait. I love the Owl Room in Mt. Vernon for a true Baltimore feeling, but it's a little farther and also just burgers and that sort of thing. But yummy and fun. |
There are literally dozens of restaurants in Federal Hill and Harbor East. No one eats at the Harbor Pavilions anymore. |
There are great Greek restaurants not far from the Harbor, as well as many in little Italy. |
There are no good restaurants left in Little Italy and no one goes to the Greek town restaurants anymore. Op chose from any one of the following- Duck, Duck, Goose, Cinghaile, Azumi, Loch Bar, Ouzo Bay, Taglietta, Charleston, Sotto Sopra. All are relatively close to the harbor. |
+1 to all but Soto sopra….too far and overrated imo |
+2 I would take off Sotto Sopra and Cinghaile |
Thanks, all! having dinner at Taglietta! Brunch reservations for Sunday welcome, too! ![]() |
For brunch you can't go wrong with Miss Shirley's. They don't take reservations but the line moves fairly quickly. |
