Charm City Seafood

I usually am big on checking reviews out before I go to a new spot. I checked this one out and they seemed great! Usually a great indicator of fresh, wholesome food. I took my family. However, I am very disappointed. Even my youngest, who is usually one to devour anything, didn’t eat more than two bites of his smoked ribs. My picky eater didn’t eat a bite. My wife enjoyed her Greek bowl for the most part, but also only ate a few bites. I got the super grouper sandwich, which I was so excited about because I LOVE grouper! My favorite fish, but unfortunately, I couldn’t eat it, and what I did eat, made me feel sick! It was like eating pure salt. It was gross! By the end of the meal, my youngest son felt sick and went to the bathroom to throw up, and man did he throw up! Even after only eating a small bit. I think it was the salt… just so much salt! We also ordered the Calamari app, which was $15, but was mostly fried banana peppers… and there was barely any Calamari in it, mostly deep fried breading. Just not good. The sauce was decent, but I would have preferred something less sweet. They didn’t have any gluten free options, and they weren’t willing to replace a bun with lettuce which was inconvenient, but I was willing to work around. Over all the portions were big for the adults, small for the kids, and the food was way overly salty, and just unfortunately not good. Over $105 for a family of 5, two small kids, my 16 year old, and my wife and myself. So it’s not “cheap” either. The atmosphere is beautiful. And the service was spectacular. The waitress checked in on us several times, and refilled our drinks several times, so I’ll give them credit where it’s due. The cooks need to step it up in a major way, if they plan on maintaining their star rating. I wouldn’t return, because the food was just not it. Also, when I complained I wasn’t offered anything but “We’re sorry about that!”

Great food, try the crabby fries! And they're gluten free!
