Ate here in October 2007.  We had about 3 hours to kill before our flight left out of BWI.  

Note:  parking is a hassle in this area.

We ate here for lunch on a nice sunny autumn afternoon.  We were seated outside (at our request) to enjoy the weather.  Note:  birds were all over the patio area, trying to scavenge what they could.  Ugh, but not the restaurant's fault.

We ordered a house salad and the crab cake platter.  The whole reason we went there was to get some crab, and we were not disappointed!

The house salad (we split it between two of us) had mixed lettuce tossed with bell peppers, corn, cucumbers, red onion, tomatoes and croutons.  The crab cake platter (3 crab cakes) had rice and steamed vegetables.  The vegetables were not overcooked and were fresh.  The lump crab cakes were excellent.  Some of the best I'd ever had, very little "filling" and a whole lot of crab.

We paid $48 for the salad, 2 iced teas, and the crab cake platter.  Reasonably priced for the location and the menu items.

I would definitely come here again if I'm in Baltimore.  The view and atmosphere are nice too.

Solid American establishment in the heart of tourist central, Inner Harbor. They serve pretzels as the starter bread, which is unique and tasty. Food was good, standard fare (we ordered ahi tuna, crab cake, and shrimp and grits) with good service and a lovely decor. I'm not typically a fan of tourist trap restaurants, but we managed to have a great time, laced with champagne, shiraz, and vodka. A good choice if you're stuck down there and need to entertain.
