Sally O's — Restaurant in Baltimore

This is the most reasonably priced place we’ve been in SOME time, and that coupled with the very thoughtfully created drinks, changing/local menu, excellent service…. Great time! My husbands cooking repertoire includes “chicken parm” only yet he suddenly turns into Gordon Ramsey when we eat out & he’s commented no less than 10x how great everything was! He prefers his meat medium rare, which turns out to be a very difficult thing to achieve in baltimore, but we never complain/send back, he usually just saws through the overcooked meat & goes home in disappointment - but not so at Sally O’s!!! Absolutely, amazing, perfectly cooked meat. I had the duck - which is my favorite thing to order on any menu (I absolutely LOVE duck) and this might be the best duck confit I can remember ever having. Service was impeccable - recommendations, timing, everything. We never had empty drinks, but we were not harassed either. The drinks were chefs kiss - espresso martinis with the brownie sunday: to die for. For reference we don’t have kids, and my husband cannot sit home for one weekend to save his life so we often eat out — OFTEN. We’ve eaten everywhere in the city. Done a circuit of all the Atlas restaurants, Chef Cindy Wolf joints, independently owned’s, all of them. The resounding thing we had to say on the way home was that we were disappointed we hadn’t tried Sally O’s earlier & that we can’t wait to go back. Definitely outpacing the rest of them. Kudos to the entire team tonight!! Any negative review I’ve read has been unhinged and given me a massive ICK. This place is the real deal. Go...

I've gone twice and each time the food has been amazing. The bar seats are very uncomfortable for my partner and I but we saw a lot of people sitting there so it may very well be just us. The outside makes you think of a small neighborhood bar. Couldn't be further from the truth. There's obviously a chef that cares about this place and it is indeed a restaurant and not just a bar. Had the wings and truffle fries the first time just for a quick bite. Amazing wings. It has a green Peruvian sauce that was out of this world. We had the carnita Tacos last time and they were good but a bit too cheesy. Like, the amount of cheese took away from the taste of the pork. They described as a mix of taco and quesadilla, so I'm sure that's where the amount of cheese came in. We also had the mac and cheese that was entirely tooooo cheesy. I get it, Mac and cheese. But it was not a sauce cheesy. More like super stringy from melted mozzarella. The menu stated bechamel but I am very serious when I say it was so cheesy and dry like someone melted cheese instead of making a mournay. We ended up doing the green beans instead and they were phenomenal! I can't say enough about how surprised I was at the food. When I asked the server, he said the owner was the chef too! She has a lot of plants and books around the restaurant that give it a personal feel. I'm assuming she might be a gardener as well because of all of the proprogated plants around. Drinks were awesome. I think Peter, Paul was the bartender both times. I think Michael was our server. Will definetly be back!! Maybe ask for light cheese...

On Monday, February 5th, 2024, I had an awful customer service experience with a server named Miles. When I asked for the manager name on duty, she refused to provide that information. She was heavyset, not the Caucasian manager who is always sweet. It seems that this other manager tolerates Miles' behavior. I come here often for the smash burgers and I miss the server Jake, who was nice and friendly. Miles gave me an attitude because I didn't leave a tip. He left my bag at the end of the counter, forcing me to walk all the way from the door to retrieve it. I paid for a dine-in smash burger and also ordered one to go. I asked Miles why he didn't bring my to-go bag to the door where I was located, and he responded by saying, "I'm giving you the same energy you're giving me." This confused me because I hadn't had a negative experience until this point. To make a long story short, Miles had an attitude with me because I didn't leave a tip, even though I always do. I offered to give him $10 or even $100, but he declined and we went back and forth. The manager also seemed to think his behavior was acceptable. I gave Mike multiple tips in the past. I will never give Miles a tip again and I will make sure to inform my family, friends, and business associates about this experience with him. Miles need to be transferred because I’m sure he’s treating other customers the same way. This behavior shouldn’t...
