The Worthington — Restaurant in Baltimore

UPDATE: Against my better judgement, we went back. This time they lost our card again, but found it! Then we had fraudulent charges on the card for days afterwords. So that was fun. ————— First time at the new W. We were there less than an hour. Bartenders lost my husbands credit card, then tried to kick us out when we questioned where it went. Management intervened and we discovered the card was given to another customer, who had already left. They took my contact info and assured me I would be called today to discuss- they never called. They DID find the person who was given the card and asked them to bring it back to them, but had him contact us, and we had to go there to pick it up. Why? To spend money? LOL no. Thankfully, it's easy to cancel and replace cards, and the other customer was honest, and communucative, but we still havent heard a peep from management, and apparently it's ok that their bartenders want to have people removed when they question why their belongings are essentially stolen by the staff. I get being busy (too busy by the way, you cant even move, God help everyone in there if there is ever a fire) and gave them a lot of grace but to completely ignore the situation and not complete the communication loop is pretty crappy. Also, it's the year 2024, why are you still keeping...

The Worthington…

Let’s set the record straight—I’m not new to this, I’m true to this. The Worthington has the look and the vibe. Mixed crowd, good energy, the kind of place you bring a date when you want the atmosphere to do half the work for you.

The drinks were cute but weak. The espresso martini tasted like it came with training wheels. My tequila cucumber crush was more like a tequila cucumber crash.

Food rundown: • Honey Old Bay wings? Hit. Respectable. • Crab cake entrée I saw trending on TikTok? Should’ve stayed on TikTok. Broccolini came out wet and confused, swimming in garlic-lemon-butter like it was auditioning for Finding Nemo. • Chicken & waffles? The waffle showed up ready... The chicken? Straight out of the Safeway freezer section—defrosted dreams on a plate. • Omelet? Way too much going on. Not terrible, but definitely an identity crisis in egg form.

The saving grace? Customer service. Staff was A1—polite, and carried the whole brunch on their backs like LeBron in Cleveland.

Bottom line: The Worthington is where you come for the vibe, not the food. Great for a drink and a scene, but nobody’s group chat is blowing up saying, “Bro, we NEED those crab...

When walking around the square for a bite to eat, my friends and I decided to check out the menu at the Worthington. The menu looked soooo good! We were very excited to try it. Service was okay, the dirty martini was 90% olive juice and when asked for it to be remade she said “well maybe you just don’t like olive juice, and that’s okay!” It was passive and condescending but she made up for it with a new drink. I never got her name but she was nice.. We enjoyed the apps, the crispy tuna and ricotta with chips. It wasn’t amazing but we were hungry and it was good as appetizers. For the main courses, we ordered loaded potato soup (pictured) and it was very unloaded haha. Just cheesy soup with bits of bacon. No potato. The chicken tenders were interesting (pictured) with a sweet flavor in the coating. The chicken Cesar wrap had soggy wilted lettuce and tasted slimy. Lastly, the wings were rough. The prices are high for what they’re delivering. I appreciate the patience of the staff but I feel as if they missed the mark...
