Great brunch! Best in Baltimore. They are famous for their creative and fancy bloody mary cocktail. However, even without the alcohol, I have never been disappointed by the food they served. Coconut french toast, crab cake eggs benedict, fried chicken and waffles!!! Just order something from their signature menu and you will enjoy it!

If you go there after 5pm on a friday, then the price is half ($19.95). Otherwise, the price is normally $39.95 for an adult. The aquarium is worth the full price though. Very big and lots to see (I can easily spend 3 hours there). I love the sharks, stingrays, green eel, and giant grouper.
