After a long day of traveling, I decided to treat myself to a cocktail in the lounge. Suu, the incredibly nice server who took care of me, suggested the Queen Bee, which was a bit pricey but delicious. Although I was too late for the happy hour specials (which looked great), I ended up ordering dinner from the restaurant menu,... More

One good experience can be good luck. Two nights in a row of wonderful service and food equals a great establishment. There is an exciting menu here that uses some really interesting combinations of ingredients but it doesn't feel gimmicky or that they are trying too hard. In particular the ribeye steaks were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Easily... More

Swanky yet disheveled, the atmosphere is wonderful. The bar menu for food and drinks is impressive. You MUST have a candied bacon deviled egg ($2) and a featured $5 cocktail. The service was top notch. I loved it.

Maryland Crab Cake is HUGE and delicious. My husband got the pork shoulder and it was so good. He couldn't stop talking about the bacon pieces. I wasn't that impressed with the cheesecake sundae. It was pretty bland and didn't really have anything that special. I wish I did the chocolate expresso. Reservations were easy, staff was pleasant, and we... More

You will not be dissappointed with B&O...breakfast, lunch or dinner. I know since I ate there several times over the past weekend while attending a conference. My hotel was located right around the corner and lets just say it wasn't a place I wanted to eat at. On my first day was lucky enough to have found B&O restaurant located... More

Like most places, the continental breakfast was expensive and not exciting. I am not a big breakfast person so I did not mind but if you are looking for a large breakfast, I would suggest going elsewhere or expect to pay a lot.

We stayed at the Hotel Monaco so the B&O was more of a convenience than a destination. That being said, the food is very good and this was our second visit to the restaurant for dinner. We had a 6:00 p.m. reservation that was easily made using Open Table online. The place was filled for happy hour and the atmosphere... More

Drinks were nice and Happy Hour was a good deal but food was just OK and service was not good. The flat bread pizzas were pretty good, though.
