Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Baltimore Magazine. Updated August 2026.
W.C. HARLAN · Remington
W.C. Harlan creates an intimate drinking experience through low light, vintage detail, thoughtful music, and a concise cocktail list. Classics and house drinks arrive with careful balance rather than theatrical excess. The unmarked Remington room rewards conversation and attention, making one well-built drink feel more satisfying than a rushed sequence.
Cinghiale · Harbor East
Cinghiale explores regional Italian cooking through handmade pasta, salumi, seafood, meat, and an extensive wine program. Multiple dining spaces allow the experience to shift from lively enoteca energy to a more measured meal. Careful service and a deep cellar support special occasions while the food remains grounded in recognizable Italian traditions.
Dylan's Oyster Cellar · Hampden
Baltimore Magazine's 2024 coverage includes Dylan's Oyster Cellar as both a raw-bar readers' poll selection and a restaurant worthy of extended attention. The Hampden room centers oysters while allowing the kitchen to work through fuller seafood plates. Its Chestnut Avenue setting feels intimate and closely connected to the neighborhood.
