3 Stars: The Tavern (by Heather B.)

Yes this is a local haunt, but I think it is way over rated. The food is satisfactory, prices high, atmosphere is alright. The waitstaff are usually overtired and not always on thier toes. The bar scene if you are into that is the only thing I see that this establishment has going for it. Sorry I can not give it two thumbs up!

Another Baltimore institution. A great place to meet friends for lunch---or dinner. The waiters have been there forever and do a great job. And after lunch you can stroll the streets and shop. Getting a parking place is the trick.

I have heard a lot about this place and went and met a friend for brunch on Mother's Day. I loved the look of the place and the atmosphere- mainly the main dining room where the roof opens up. However I wasn't very impressed with the food.

I got the Eggs Norfolk- Poached eggs with Smithfield ham and jumbo lumpcrab on an English muffin, topped with hollandias. The eggs could have been cooked more, the crab was very cold and the english muffin wasn't very good.

I am not sure if the the food wasn't its best because of the holiday and busyness. I guess I need to head back on a normal night and try it out.

The Mt Washington Tavern is THE place to be seen. They have the best happy hour specials, always offer good free food for grazing, mostly steamed shrimp!! The prices are good. If in the mood for dinner, they have a large dining room with ceilings. Try the soups.. I have never tried one that I do not like, especially the cream of crab when they have that!
