Ouzo Bay in Baltimore - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

“Athletic Shirts” policy is just an excuse to exclude people from this establishment. That man should be ashamed for treating a 9 year old child that way. Hopefully that kid gets therapy. Very disappointed

Food was good except scallops but the service was pretty bad. Too slow and they forgot to bring .

I only been on the inside of the outdoor seating near the water. Great space and wonderful drinks. I'll take a look at their menu on my next go round.

Thanks to the fantastic food, we were going to overlook the subpar service, like our waiter who seemed shocked that we might want dessert, then took forever to bring our check, and never returned for our payment. But surely - surely! - a restaurant of this caliber can afford $15-$20 to replace a banged-up, gross looking toilet seat in the ladies' room. For the price of espresso for our party, they might even replace *both* toilet seats, with the reward of not giving gas station bathroom vibes. We want this place to thrive, and it starts with seemingly small things.

Authentic and Modern at the same time! Had the lamb shank and it was magnificent 👌🏾 😋 Appetizers, bread selection, and drinks just made the night complete!!!

Celebrated my sisters 21st birthday with a dinner here, over all great experiences. Drink were great & we had such a great time I can’t remember the lady’s name that was our server but it was a beautiful name. I do remember her tattoos that was on her hand I complimented . & mason was also every attentive . Thank you guys for a great experience & apologize for our excitement we brung as we celebrated our youngest 🫶🏽

Good was absolutely delicious and their restaurant week menu was generous! Restaurant wasn’t full so we weren’t sure how it was going to go. But afterwards we were all like wow, that food was amazing. Might even have been the best crab cake my husband had ever eaten, he said. My bronzino was incredible. Spanakopita delicious. Even the bread was fresh and tasty. We will be back.

Went for Restaurant week. Ambiance and service were very nice. Food was ok--the pairings however were not a good fit. Nothing was inedible, but I will likely not return

I have dined at Ouzo Bay multiple times...and each experience has been a positive one. On our most recent visit, it was a Sunday evening so the it was a much smaller crowd, in fact the restaurant was almost completely empty. Our server was phenomenal ...we sat outside.. however it was quite windy in the corner... but not unbearable. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the Harbor East neighborhood.. and the hustle and bustle... made for great people watching. Our food was good.. it came out hot and fast. My only negative comment would be the ladies restroom. It was in complete shambles, no toilet paper and needed a serious deep cleaning. Other than that.. our overall experience was a positive one.

Delicious food and great service I will definitely be back!

Ouzo Bay, Cindy Lou's Fish House in Canopy Hotel are great recommendations.

We love Ouzo Bay especially for its fresh fish. We have never had a bad meal at Ouzo Bay - to the contrary, every meal at Ouzo Bay has been fabulous and our recent dinner there was no exception. The service has also been exceptional except for our recent meal there. The woman who waited on us seemed more like a trainee. She mixed up our drink orders and gave me the tequila drink my husband had ordered. I am not a tequila drinker and knew I had the wrong drink. Our server thought she had delivered the drinks properly and luckily we were talking with the hostess who corrected the mistake. Our server was very difficult to understand and didn't understand our questions. We asked about the sizes of the fresh fish on the menu but she wasn't clear in her response to us. We would certainly go back but make sure that we didn't have the same server.

We love this restaurant. We will always return. The food and ambiance is always 5 star.

A very nice place with a relaxed atmosphere

It was a wonderful experience, the food was super delicious and the service was very professional and attentive. I loved it. I will definitely return very soon. I recommend it 100%.

Delicious food!! Impeccable service!!

I recently saw the video regarding the black lady and her son that were denied to eat in the restaurant. Regarding her son's clothing and the posted dress code. Being that the white lady was given an exception, everyone there after should have received one that day. But I'm convinced it was because it was the color of both boy's skin. Why one was permitted and the other denied.

An amazing experience. Food was super good! The calamari was my favorite…

Didn't care for this place. Didn't really have a Wow factor I was expecting.

The food was sublime and I'm sorry I can't give Ouzo ten stars. I had the crab cakes with potatoes and a side of asparagus. All of it was melt in your mouth delicious. Our starters were hummus and flaming saganaki, also both fantastic. My dining partner had the zucchini boats, which, as a vegetarian, he loved. The service was very good, never obtrusive. It was a beautiful night, so we ate on the patio. Every thing about the evening was just great. I'll be going again when I return to Baltimore.

Celebratedvour 45 th anniversary. Excellent food. I am celiac and they had many naturally gluten free choices. The menu isn’t specifically marked for food allergens but the server was very knowledgeable. Been gluten free 40 years so can easily spot naturally GF choices. The Bronzino was excellent as was the greek lima beans with feta. Great cocktails too

Sat outside on the patio. Great atmosphere and cocktails. Food was ok - both of ours were very salty.

Great service and awesome foods..!

To start, the hummus was watery and grainy. I make WAY better hummus and I am Irish and don't own a Greek restaurant. The eggplant dip? Watery and grainy. The octopus? Pretty good. Served on a bed of watery and grainy hummus. So, appetizers were off to a great start. About 40 minutes later after we were done with the appetizers, and after multiple people asking US where our entres are, and not clearing the table.... My giant prawns arrived. The server pours ouzo on it, and about 10 seconds after she flambes it, she gave an "opa" almost as an afterthought. Then another server says "opa" too, as if they have no idea what it means or why they are saying it. The prawns were tough, and it was served over..... wait for it.... watery veggies with a ridiculous amount of melted cheese. Lord knows, when I think of gooey, melt, cheese, all I think is "how can I make this watery and rubbery". The folks at ouzo bay have figured it out people. Nobody checked back. Nobody asked why I hardly ate any of it. I just sat there with a plate of uneaten food for a half hour. Then the check came. Luckily I wasnt asked if I wanted desert, as the lady behind me sent hers back. Burger King would have been much better... And probably not have cost me $250.... Unless I was high... Which apparently everyone at ouzo bay is.

Outstanding food. 2 of us ordered from the prefix menu. All 3 courses were outstanding

Lovely meal, quite expensive though. Outdoor seating is on a busy traffic corner.

great Food and Service! Sat outside on the deck and it was nice.

It is always amazing there. The food is fresh and delicious. Get the Mykonos drink. It’s fantastic.

We used to love this place. Valet is now $15. No fish on display. Waiter did not know how to pronounce the food. Spanakopita on tzitziki? Uh, no. Six small slices of pita with the cheese. Soggy bread at the start with cinnamon bread? Greeks love cinnamon but usually with desserts or main meal. Tiny Greek salad portion. Not worth the $$$$.

The seafood is very fresh and tasty. I got the grilled octopus as an appetizer and the scallops. Both were great, though fairly pricey. The service was fine.

Food and service was fantastic! Wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Best seafood I have had in Baltimore!

Service very attentive - food was wonderful-in particular the branzino and the meatballs

Although pricey, the food was excellent. We had the various seafood appetizers, as well as the scallops, chilean sea bass, and lamb shank entrees, and pretty much everyone was happy with the food.

Unbelievable experience from start to finish. Huge thank you to entire team for a wonderful celebratory dinner with great wine too! (Black sheep rose Greek wine !) absolutely delicious ! Thank you

Grilled calamari and octopus were absolutely divine. Bronzino was cooked and flavored perfectly. I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Great experience with my best friend. Our food was delicious. Some drinks did not taste alcoholic, but other cocktails were better.

Attended a 40 person dinner party in the private room. Although it was a bit tight for seating, everything was amazing.

Good food and Ambience, love it there. Would recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. Friendly, courteous and this place caters to the customers needs. A variety of good choices on the menu.

We were a party of 15 and Ouzo seated us no problem with little notice. outstanding crab cakes and seafood.

Terrible experience! Would not recommend.

I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment recently, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance was cozy, the service exceptional, and the food, absolutely delightful. The innovative flavor pairings and the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients stood out to me. I left with a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend to others!!!

We have been celebrating family and business milestones at Ouzo Bay for many, many years and it never feels dated or routine. The energy is always upbeat, welcoming, and elevated. The food is gorgeously presented, only to be outdone by the taste. We loved every dish including the grilled octopus, spanakopita, tuna tartare, sea bass, and bronzini. Our server Linea (I hope that is correct) was delightful. Present and entertaining but never overbearing. I am returning for a business dinner this Friday and already salivating.

Decent restaurant. Would definitely recommend to my friends.

Excellent service, great tasting food. Definitely worth it

Great space, beautifully appointed . Lively crowd got livelier after 8 lights went down music went up. Food was great, Greek flavors are good through the apps, Entres are more classic but so good.

View was stunning and ambiance was nice as well. Staff was very moody both at the bar and servers and dinner took almost 3 hours. It took the waitress 50 minutes to bring our drinks over.

Amazing experience… my 92 year old uncle was cold so they put us in a separate section and cranked the heat in the middle if April. Then they treated him like a king. Wonderful food, wonderful people.

**Exceptional Dining Experience at Ouzo Bay** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ouzo Bay and was blown away by the outstanding service and delectable cuisine. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the charming Jake, whose infectious smile set the tone for the evening. Our bartender, Bong, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and made some fantastic recommendations that perfectly complemented our meal. Their attention to detail and genuine passion for their work truly enhanced our dining experience. Not only was the food exquisite, but the ambiance was also delightful, thanks to the attentive staff and impeccable service. I highly recommend Ouzo Bay to anyone looking for a memorable culinary experience, and I can't wait to return for another delightful meal.

It was absolutely fantastic. Our wedding party started here with dinner and drinks and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was amazing and the staff were some of the best in Baltimore. I cannot recommend this place enough! Sarah, the GM, is amazing, and made sure we had the perfect time! Thank you all and we will be returning!

I no longer think the food or the service is worht the menu prices. To me it has become a restaurant for thos with corporate expense accounts.

The food is delicious, very expensive though. Service was great and the overall ambience was really nice.

Always enjoy meeting with friends there. Happy hours specials are a great deal.

The atmosphere has really gone down. There was a dj playing loud music in an almost empty restaurant. The service and food was good, but the atmosphere overall lacked intimacy and warmth

My favorite Greek restaurant for fresh fish, best in the area.

Great food, excellent service, and an amazing ambiance. Not to mention wonderful music from the DJ!

Food & Service were great. Nice location and the noise level was low.

The staff was WONDERFUL and VERY kind and accommodating. The flavors and textures were very fresh and robust!

Insane menu prices and mediocre service We shared apps and they were good, salads were ok, small and expensive for simple greens Manager would not seat us when we arrived a bit early for our reservation despite half of the tables being available ,We sat at the bar with a friendly bartender who spoke little English and was too busy mixing drinks to focus on our meal No reason to go back here, too many alternatives that offer better service and more reasonable prices

Wrong to charge $3 for extra Pita on a 6 person $500 tab.

The Bronzino was as good as on our recent Greek vacation, and it's always fun to get saganaki or prawns flambeed at the table. I'd consider going elsewhere for dessert.

First and foremost Amy and Chris were awesome, I mean veryyy helpful. They definitely provided us with great suggestions and explained things very well (I tend to ask a lot of questions) lol. The atmosphere and view is very pleasant. However, given that the restaurant was not very full it would’ve been nice if we had better seats the tables are pretty small. So I would suggest that you ask for booth instead. Other than that thank you again Amy💜 and Chris you will do great there good luck to you 💜

My colleague and I had dinner here on 3/12/24, and it was excellent. Holly, our server was on point. I highly suggest trying this restaurant.

Very good food, great location and good service, but very expensive.

Amazing food and the service is fast and great, severs always make sure you are ok and stocked up on water. We had the lamb shank AMAZING!! Wish it came with rice or Spinach

I ordered the lamb chops which were cooked to perfection and my friend ordered the crab cakes which were all lump and no filler. Large portions.

Awesome resturant better date 10/10 prefect first date spot classy and upscale

Ouzo Bay used to be our favourite restaurant in Baltimore for years until tonight. We always made sure to have dinner at Ouzo Bay when we visited the city. We loved grilled octopus in the past and freshly cought wild branzino, grilled to perfection. Octopus used to be fresh, juicy, perfectly grilled,covered in prime virgin olive oil. Instead, tonight we got dry, small pieces of old octopus on a bed of hummus??? Branzino was good, but small. Baklava was not usual Greek baklava, but with a twist which did not bring back good memories. We were looking forward so much to coming back to Ouzo Bay, but left deeply disappointed. Before we left I went to F & B Manager and told him about the octopus and hummus. I also told him that hummus was not mentioned in the menu and that we would not order it again. He did not say that he was sorry for our experience and that hummus is mentioned in the menu. Well, that was not true and we left even more disappointed. What a shame.

Food and service was good. Tables are very close together and you can hear every the neighboring tables conversation by default. They could get rid of a few tables and space them out a little more if you want a high end experience.

Great start to the meal, lamb meatballs were terrific, but as more guests arrived, the service declined and the noise level made it hard to have a conversation. My Bronzino was tasty but full of bones and my wife's Sole was overcooked. Our wine came several minutes after the main dishes were served. Disappointing end to what started off great.

Went for Valentine's dinner. Service was unmatched, extremely efficient, professional, and kind. Food was 10/10 and vibes were great. Would definitely go here again. Flaming saganaki was amazing

I really enjoyed Ouzu and there was no wait even on Valentine's day. It was crowded by they were prepared. Food was amazing and a rose at the end. A++

Great food, attentive staff. Price just right. Venue was chilly for the evening in the covered patio and in the area next to it. Only warm area appeared to be near the bar.

The service was great. The ambiance was terrific. The food was tasty but nothing that gave me the WOW factor. I had the potato as my side dish which was underwhelming. For the cost of the meal, everything that I ate should have WOW'ed me. My main course was good.

Our sever was excellent! Food is always outstanding!

Ate here while visiting a friend. Food was good enough. I'm planning on visiting again but I have a child who is colored. Well she be allowed to eat here or are you still not allowing children of color?

Discriminates against black people I wouldn’t even waist time or money going here!

Ouzo Bay is excellent in all of the aspects that makes for a good restaurant: food, service, ambiance, prices.

It met our expectations. We would certainly go back and recommend it

It was not worth the price atlas needs to step it up

I'll never eat here due to your discrimination of of BLACK PEOPLE. How is it ok for a young white kid to dine their wearing athletic wear but when a 12 year old black boy who is dress in the same attire CAN'T ? This is unacceptable!

The food and ambiance were good but the service was truly bad. We ordered adrinks, ppetizers and entrees. The drinks were very slow. The appetizers came out within a reasonable time after drinks, but there was an hour long gap after the appetizers, and two out of four never came at all; we just canceled them after we’d been there more than 3 hours. The server did not explain or apologize for the delays and we were mostly just looking around wondering what was going on. The manager did comp the lost entrees and gave us a further discount off the rest of the meal but it was a bad experience. Probably won’t go back, at least not on a busy Saturday night, even though the food was mostly good.

Visited Ouzo Bay for an early dinner before heading to the Hippodrome to see Trevor Noah. Restaurant was nearly empty at 5:15 which was not surprising. Ordered the flaming cheese which was theatrical and pretty good. The spinnakopita was so flaky and soft. It was a gourmet creation all by itself. The lamb meatballs were delish and came in a wonderful tomato sauce. The grilled fish was served whole and was freshness personified. This is elevated cooking. The place filled up quickly and by 6:30 PM, it was packed and loud. Clearly a very popular place. Will visit again.

Elevated cooking in an upscale establishment. The spinnakopita was the best I have had. The lamb meatballs and the sauce they came in was excellent. Highlight of the meal was the grilled branzino. Will visit again. Good for special occasions.

Always excellent food and service! Grilled calamari , grilled octopus and crudo were fresh and delicious. Scallops were perfectly cooked buttery goodness

We went here for a quiet dinner with business colleagues and it was truly an amazing experience. The food was beautiful as well as delicious. I was in town visiting for a week and ate crabcakes each day at a restaurant and throughout my visit, these crabcakes were the absolute best of the trip. Large, flaky, TWO (some restaurants only served one as the entree), and perfectly cooked. Very little filler, just enough to hold it together.

Delicious mussels and drinks. Very attentive and pleasant staff

It’s one of my favorite restaurants!! It never disappoints!!

Celebrated my friends 40th birthday party the team at Ouzo was amazing.

Never going here since management discriminates against colored people and lies about their dress code

Excellence at its BEST! Beautiful restaurant , food is amazing, service is phenomenal. Must go to experience.

Portions were smaller than expected but food was very good

Very attractive decor and inviting interior. From the flaky Spanakopita to the sweet, nutty Baklava, all of the food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the Stuffed Grape Leaves, Grilled Calamari appetizers, the Grilled Tuna, Grilled Scallops and Lamb Shank entrees, as well as the Chocolate Brown. Which we devoured with our Cappuccinos and Tea! Lovely experience and would 10/10 recommend for any special occasion or just stopping by for Happy Hour!

Awesome food and service. The tuna tatar was amazing 👌

This was my second time dining at Ouzo Bay, and it was as great as the first time. This time I took family members, and they were thrilled by the delicious food and outstanding service that Jose provided. Memorable occasion that we will never forget. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Wonderful experience, great food, beautiful space, loved it all

Our waitress was hard to understand. There was a language barrier. When asking about some items and how they were prepared she didn’t know. The chef must love lemons because everything was heavy seasoned with lemon. The potato’s and cauliflower were doused in lemon. Really couldn’t eat either of them. I’ve gone here many times and always had a good experience. I’m guessing this was just an off night.

Just incredible service. Meal was amazing. The fish was perfectly cooked.

Good location , food is good . quiet place to have dinner, little expensive but I guess this is what cost to have nice dinner

first time back since pandemic. menu a little smaller, food very well prepared. service was earnest, they disappeared a few times we were looking for them and then just stopped by periodically to check. in past, the service was one of the memorable parts of the dining experience.
