Best Casual Restaurants in East Baltimore

I’ve been to verde many times and had a great experience. Went with my partner on Valentine’s Day and had a bad experience with the service, although the food was great as always. My partner and I were seated at a small table by the front door, which I think led to our waitress to forget about us multiple times. Our whole stay was 2.5 hours, way longer than it should have been. The Valentine’s Day menu was a 3-course meal with a limited pizza selection on the back. I asked the waitress to see the full menu to select a pizza from the main menu for my 3 course meal (Which, by the way, the Valentine’s Day menu said you could do!) and the waitress declined with an obnoxious “NO” in a very rude fashion, which was very off-putting. I will be at verde again in the future as it’s a great pizza spot, but never again on a major holiday like Valentine’s Day.

Went for Valentine's Day. The food was amazing and we had what felt like the best seats in the house. Our table had a view of the entire restaurant, we had flowers and heart decorations. It was a fabulous night.

First time here for dinner and it was fantastic! The wait staff was great and the meal was better.

For $42 the lobster for the fondue was not worth ordering. Only one very small lobster was sent out for two people. The speghetti could have used a lot more sauce. I did like the fact that they brought out a blue tooth speaker that I was able to connect my phone to for background music. I would highly recommend this experience.

I really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance, I think you get the best of both worlds with the study space upstairs, the cute giftshop section filled with locally sourced items, and the cute/classy bakery and dinning area. The servers/staff were all friendly and accommodating.I will definitely be back!
