Best Cozy Restaurants in South Baltimore

This is the 3rd time I’ve dined at Ammoora and I was not disappointed. Dining here is an amazing experience from the time you enter the restaurant and are greeted by the hostess. There were three of us and we ordered multiple appetizers, main courses and desserts. The starters included an order of hummus and warm pita bread. I have it’s the best hummus I’ve ever eaten. All the main courses were amazing. The most amazing was the fall of the bone short rib. I had the kofta kebabs I highly recommend. Our server was exceptional. Gigi was very professional and was extremely helpful explaining the menu. If you have a chance and want to try Syrian cuisine, look no further than Ammoora.

First time at Cooper Shark and it was an excellent experience. Brunch was delicious and we’ll definitely be back!

We celebrated our anniversary here during a Ravens-Steelers game, which made the atmosphere lively and vibrant despite the extra noise. Our reservation was found immediately, and we were warmly wished a Happy Anniversary before being seated in a booth as requested. Our server was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. He expertly guided us through the menu, and his recommendations were spot on. The appetizer was exactly as described and delicious. Both entrees were cooked to perfection, and the Crème Brûlée dessert was not only perfect but also generously portioned. The cocktails were excellent with solid pours. Overall, I'm very impressed with what the Clyde's group has achieved here and look forward to seeing this concept expand in the future. Highly recommended!

Had the Sobo burger. Was excellent. Comes with a side salad and the roasted potato fries. The best!!

Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.
