I've somewhat recently become a "Yelper". Here is my review of the Woodberry Kitchen, where we ate when my parents were visiting (please excuse the somewhat terrible picture and Kevin's freaked-out look). This place has recently been featured on Gourmet magazine's top 10 restaurants in the country, and on the Food Network.
"Wow, I loved this place! I'm surprised at all the mediocre reviews, but perhaps we had such a great experience because we followed advice from other Yelpers: skip the entrees, stick to the small plates, woodfired pizzas, and desserts. It seemed to work well for us.The building is gorgeous, with lots of tall windows and brick. The service was fantastic.
For appetizers, we tried the butter bean dip (sooo good- the crackers served with it were clearly homemade), the tuna (very fresh), and the orchard pears (the most humdrum of the apps we tried). We then tried the Heirloom pumpkin soup (thick and creamy- good thing we shared!), the sizzling shrimp (terrifically seasoned- the onions on the plate were nearly as good as the shrimp), and the Momo oysters from the wood-fired oven (my first oysters- can't say I was crazy about them, although the flavor was good).We then shared the air-dried beef and rocket flatbread, as well as the smoked pork and black bean flatbread. Both were soooo good. Cooked in the wood-fired oven just perfectly, so that the crust was bubbly, chewy, and crispy all at once. I'd go back just to try another flatbread.
For dessert we had the CMP (it's back!!!). We also saw this on the Food Network and were so disappointed when we read on Yelp reviews that it was gone- but they must have listened to Yelpers complaints because it's now on the menu. Oh my gosh, this dessert is a must- marshmallow, chocolate, peanuts, malt ice cream, and a thin sugary crust over the top- to die for.This is the best restaurant we've tried in Baltimore so far and we will definitely be bringing more people here in the future!"
