The ambiance is fantastic, and what a beautiful view. I didn't have food, although it looked great. My drink was good, although not quite to my total liking because of the ingredients ( my fault, I should have inquired about one of the ingredients). The drink had strong flavors. The service was great as well. Seating was at the bar. However, there was other lounge seating. Outside is self seating. Parking was a challenge. However, there are garages, meters, and valet all around. It was just a beautiful venue, great for friends' night or a date night.

We decided to stop here just to check out the food on this hot summer day just to get a drink and appetizers. We ended up getting the grilled calamari, which was so tasty. It was filled with capers, feta. And a honey mustard vinaigrette, which was poured over the Calamari and salad. It was so flavorful and delicious. The waiters recommended this amazing dish, and she was spot onWe sat at the outside bar, which had a decent view of the city. . The playlist they played was also very chill and laid back. With the music and breeze, it had an island feel.

I hadn't been to Ouzo Bay in several years and I was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant was still serving high quality food and drinks! I went for a larger work event of about 10 people and there were a good number of larger groups in the restaurant as well. Our service was timely despite the large group. The wine was delicious and complimentary bread was well baked. I was craving some pasta and I had the bucatini with lobster and crab and it was absolutely delicious!

Ouzo Bay is a located in Harbor East, near the Inner Harbor. That being said, street parking is limited. I had a reservation for Friday at 7PM and was seated immediately. Surprisingly, it wasn't really busy. Inside is well-lit and nicely appointed. Our server was polite and attentive. We decided on a sparking Rose and a hand-crafted cocktail, Phanes' Poison. Both were crisp and refreshing. To satisfy our hunger, we ordered lamb meatballs as an appetizer; Australian Lamb Chops and Aegean Bronzino for the main course. Absolutely amazing! Definitely add Ouzo Bay to your list if you're in the neighborhood.

Ouzo Bay..... Ohhhhhhhhhhh, where do I start? I'm late to the party. (Pouts) I don't care to drive into Baltimore and I typically stick within a 15 mile radius in the DC area. I mean can you blame me, DC has so many good restaurants. I recently found a foodie BFF who drives all over the DMV, beyond, into the boonies and to major cities such as Baltimore just for food! Lucky me! After we went to The Bygone last month, he mentioned every Atlas restaurant was fantastic in Baltimore. This foodie BFF of mine, is not only an Elite but a whole Maximus. Well, this girl relies on her Yelp Community and since he's a Maximus, of course I'll take heed to what he has to say! Duly noted and reservations made! My BFF, aka my significant other, whisked me away to Baltimore on a Monday. He was dressed to impress, and I already knew the type of night we would have! We got to Ouzu Bay a little early so we pre-gamed at the bar. He's an expensive date and of course he'd order the most expensive drink on the menu, a Whistle Pig. No it didn't really whistle but cute name! He could have ordered a Shetland pony for all I cared, he was looking scrumptious and can have anything his heart desires from me. So a measly $39 whistle pig, eh have the bar babe. We head to our seats, the wait was a bit long before a waitress came to our table but once she came over she didn't miss a beat. Appetizer: Grilled Octopus - Exceeded Every Expectation, I'm not a huge fan of Octopus but this dish was delicious and full of flavor. Colossal Shrimp: The best Giant Shrimp I've ever laid my mouth on! YUMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE! Crab Cake: Okay I may get back lash from this comment but Ouzu might have a better Crab Cake than Jerry's. Yeah I know, it's true though! It was scrumptious just like my date! No lies told! Dessert: The Brownie - This brownie needs its own review. Honestly, it almost stole the show from my baby! He was the prize of the night but this brownie almost took his thunder. Thankfully after eating the entire brownie (don't judge me, it was GOOD), I looked over to my left at my beau. I was conflicted, who did I love more? No shame in my game, I ate the whole dessert but not my food, and my baby watched me be a glutton with no complaints. He's a keeper! The brownie is super good and not big enough for sharing. Get two if you're on a date, let your lady live! Ambiance is nice! Manager was friendly! Service was excellent and the FOOD!!!! OMGeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! To die for! I'm coming back! I've missed out! Cries inside. Shrugs! Queues The Music... Plays Phil Collins: One More Night Yup, please give me one more night, or maybe a few more nights. We are definitely running this one back!

A nice little spot close to Little Italy and just off the Harbor. The service was great that we received and the food was flavorful and done well. However, for the portion sizes and what we spent, I think that is my only area where I feel could have been better. I do enjoy great food though and have no problem paying for it. But with some of the other restaurants around on the Harbor and that we have visited, there are definitely some other options that I would consider. Again, enjoyed the experience and checking out the restaurant, but just feel the value was overvalued.

This review is for Ouzo Beach, outdoor bar across the street from the restaurant. GLOWS: -The overall vibe is very nice. On a gorgeous weather day, you might just forget you're in Baltimore -The drinks are pretty tasty- just very expensive -They did a great job making a mocktail! -The hummus is quite good! GROWS: -The outdoor space could use a little TLC. Cushions on seats are dirty, paper menus aren't the cleanest, etc

This review is for the "Ouzu Beach" area outside of the main Ouzu Bay restaurant! My friends and I got Aperol Spritz's (perfect for summer - photo attached) and they were wonderful. Service was fast and smooth, and the ambiance is clearly gorgeous! The primary reason I have a 4 and not a 5 star is because I do find the prices to be pretty high. Also - wear some bug spray during the summer (since you're near the water), I left with some mosquito bites!
