Dining in a 19th century mansion in Baltimore is rather a unique experience. This dining room has huge mirrors on one side with huge murals on them. This gives the place a rather stately feel. Besides a large wine menu and classic cocktails, they have a handful of their own. I had a riff on French 75, and they reduced the sweetness for me, something I always appreciate. The menu is pretty typical Italian food. Our table shared the fried calamari, but it also contained onions and other vegetables which was a nice change from the usual. We shared the charcuterie board, which also contained fried artichoke hearts. That is a nice addition. I had the frutti di mare, which was served with squid ink pasta. The shrimp and calamari were plentiful and properly cooked, and served in a gigantic mound of pasta with cooked cherry tomatoes. It was good and a nice version of this classic dish. My companion raved about the duck, and the serving again was very large. The honey lavender salmon also was said to be good. If you don't like lavender, this may not be your dish. We shared a very nice creme brulee and cheesecake to end our meal. Again servings were ample. The service was attentive, and the place is quiet and sedate. The food does not have any surprises, but everything was good.
