   A group of 3 went to dinner to celebrate a birthday. The Winter Wonderland decor was the reason why we chose this restaurant. It was absolutely stunning! We started with the crab pretzel for an appetizer, and it was wonderful. We also had 2 dozen of oysters that were amazing and several rounds of manhattans. For dinner, we ordered crab cakes that we did not enjoy. We should have had a few more rounds of oysters :) Would go again, but recommend sticking to the appetizer menu.

   Everything about this place was fantastic. In addition to having the most magical holiday decor in town and a great waterfront view, the food and service were top notch. I ordered one of the specials (shrimp gnocchi in pesto sauce), which was out of this world. The bartender even indulged me by making a holiday drink not found on the cocktail menu. Parking was easy as well since Ampersea is located just outside the busy part of Fells Point. I highly recommend Ampersea to anyone who is looking for a memorable night out. It's always great, but those holiday decorations and comfort food winter specials easily put Ampersea at the top of my list at this time of year. I plan to go back next week to enjoy it in all its winter splendor one more time before those stunning decorations and delectable specials are gone.

   Had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. We had to wait a bit for our table even though we had reservations. The staff bought us a round of drinks a provided us with appetizers. They were really awesome on a busy holiday night. The restaurant was decorated beautifully. All around a great experience.

   Beautiful winter theme decor. Lobster roll was good. Not overflowing but plenty of lobster. Burger was big and tasty. The waiter was nice but a little side tracked even though the place had only a few tables with diners. He was slow and forgetful. Miscommunication in needing change as he never came back with it and it became awkward to ask.

   Our server (Malik) did a great job: friendly, great response time, checked in just the right amount & gave us a birthday drink (10/10) The food was mid: • Hot & Honey Wings: lukewarm, dry + you couldn’t taste heat or honey . 8 wings for $20 in this economy is acceptable I guess (0/10) • Oysters Rockefeller: they were a cool take on oysters. Nothing to write home about so (6.7/10) • Seafood Pasta: came out hot, full serving and worth the price. Could use a bit less salt on the shrimp and some heat (spice) but still good! (8.7/10) • Braised Short Rib: overpriced considering it only came with fingerling potatoes. The food was warm but not as hot as the pasta. I’ve def had better short ribs (6.8/10) • Dessert: Brownie/IceCream: the brownie seemed like it was warmed in a microwave cause half of it was cold lol. Also it wasn’t solid, more like fudge? Idk — (4/10) We parked in the lot next door and didn’t use the bathroom so nothing to note there. The set up is cute (sea themed) and though it was busy, it wasn’t super loud or chaotic. Overall: 5.6/10 — I’d come back but probably stick to Seafood.

   Had a delicious girls night out! Holiday decor was cheerful, meal delicious, server kind. Cute cocktail names however we chose a bottle of wine instead. This has been on my “to go” list for quite a while and definitely worth it!

    Charming place with absolutely exceptional host….who cared for each diner like a welcomed friend and took special photos of diners by the water. What a lovely and kind man. Oh and the food was more than decent as well. I’d go back…
