"I called on Valentines day to ask if a reservation was needed and was told no and to come right in. The person answering the phone was slightly rude but ended cheerful so I thought I caught her at a busy moment. I found out my first assumption was right. When we got there we parked right up front, since I had never been there I asked the hostess if it was ok to park up front and she answered.. Aaaahhh Yeah, because the city F'ing F'd up their F'ing parking lot. I should have left then, but the reviews were good and pictures of food looked good. The hostess said sit wherever you want so we sat in the bar area. She came to get our drink orders and I said I'll have a glass of water and if I could get a cup of soup right away (I was feeling a little car sick). She then put her hand in my face and repeated WATER, and then looked to my date for his order. She brought our drinks back to table immediately with bruchetta. She walked away to answer the phone to which she spoke to them extremely rude as well. We went up to the bar to ask what our coke cost because we were done, she said don't worry about it and sarcastically said Happy Valentines day as we walked out. My boyfriend said that she had to be a family member or owner to get away with such terrible behavior. Another couple of people were going to go in as we were coming out and I said no food is good enough to tolerate that kind of unprofessionalism , they said oh yea the short rude waitress last time we were here we thought she was drunk. They turned around and left with us. So I guess I'll never know if food was good or not"

"Woodberry, long one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore (and even in the whole Baltimore/DC region), has a great setup for COVID outdoor tents on the big patio, big fire pit, outdoor bar, great location/setting. They follow strict COVID protocols (and clever ones, too, like putting up a flag when you need service). But I also really appreciate paper menus single-use paper menus pose minimal transmission risk nor environmental impact, yet they add so much more ambience to a nice dining experience than having to use one's phone (QR codes and all that). Kudos to paper menus! I've eaten dinner here twice during the pandemic (late summer and Fall), and I will say the food hasn't blown me away as much as it has in the past. I can't exactly say why. The menu still rotates and is seasonal, with lots of veggies. It might be that the selection of entrees is more limited due to COVID and I've found less interesting things to order (I'm not sure), and that's understandable. But the food is still of high quality, and I'll continue to look forward to coming here. Last thing: as nice as Woodberry Kitchen is, it as well as Spike Gjerde's now-closed Parts Labor is refreshingly unpretentious. It fits Baltimore in that way. After having patronized WK for years, I was taken aback when Gjerde's A Rake's Progress (I think closed due to pandemic) opened in DC's The Line Hotel. Every entree item there was accompanied by a minute speech, the prices were much higher, and it was just stuffier (it fit DC in that way). WK hits the quality without the uptightness."

"I was travelling to Downtown LA midFebruary. We were looking for a restaurant for an early dinner seating for before we went to the Philharmonic. It was Valentine's Day, so it was difficult to get a reservation. I was fortunate to make a reservation at The day before the reservation, I received a call from the restaurant, but they didn't leave a voicemail. I decided to call the restaurant to confirm. They then informed me that it was going to be a Prix Fixe fourcourse menu, and that they weren't serving the a la carte menu at all that evening. I asked whether they had vegetarian options, because one in our party is a vegetarian. She had no idea. She then said that I would need to call back to give a credit card to hold the reservation. For some reason, she could not take the credit card at that moment, nor did OpenTable ask for a credit card hold, as they sometimes do. Frustrated, I checked their website as well as OpenTable, and there was nothing about the PrixFixe menu or the credit card hold. According to OpenTable, all was OK.The day of the reservation, less than one hour before, I decided to confirm my reservation details with OpenTable again, only to find out that the restaurant cancelled our reservation. Frustrated, I called the restaurant and asked them why. Again, she had no idea. Fortunately, they would still be able to seat us at our previously confirmed time slot.The restaurant was half empty, throughout our meal. The front staff were constantly on their 'phones, apathetic to customers and their needs. For a good restaurant, it's no wonder why they were half empty. The front was killing them.While the restaurant and the food were nice, the front staff should be fired. Quickly. Otherwise, may suffer dearly at the hands of an incompetent front"
