My husband and I went to the Woodberry Kitchen to celebrate our anniversary last night. We had a great time!. I had the Deviled Eggs to start - which were simply delish - and the Truckpatch Pork Loin for my entree. My husband had the Roseda Farm Tavern Steak w/ smoked sweet potato fries, rocket, herb sauce, which he loved!!!! Overall, it was very nice, the staff were very polite, the food was great, but there was something missing...I'm just not sure what the "something" is. Not to nitpick (but I will) the ladies room was simply not up to par with the rest of the restaurant and a note to the bar staff; mojitos should be served in tall glasses with much, much less crushed ice! Also, we were seated upstairs next to where the servers wait until they have something to do and I felt like they were hovering over us the entire time. Overall, we had a good time.

I took my girlfriend to Woodberry Kitchen last night for our anniversary with no real expectations. From reading others reviews, I gathered that it was a great place to dine, but I was extremely impressed with the entire experience.

The restaurant has an interesting decor and architecture with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and old farm tools, but still maintains a classy atmosphere. The outside seating area also looked very nice, and on a warm night would be a great place to sit even if just having some appetizers and drinks.

They have a great variety of dishes on the menu, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We had the smoked eggplant dip, the butchers plate, and a chicken flatbread with honey that was ridiculously good. My girlfriend had a few cocktails with dinner that had watermelon juice, both were a great balance of liquor and juice.

They also had a nice selection of beer on tap, featuring some really good IPAs, I had been wanting to try the Smuttynose IPA and the Clay Pipe Backfin IPA for a while, and I had both at dinner for a reasonable price. (Liked the Smuttynose better, more hops...).

Our waiter Kyle paced everything perfectly, was there to help us whenever we needed anything and accommodated anything we asked for politely and in a timely matter; also we never once felt rushed. For dessert they brought us champagne and our plate of delicious sweet potato cake read "Happy 2nd Anniversary" in chocolate.

I would recommend Woodberry Kitchen to anybody, it has definitely won me over and is one of the best places I have been in Baltimore!

My first time to Woodberry Kitchen came with much anticipation. Like many, I’ve heard so much about the place that I had started to wonder if the restaurant would live up to the great expectations. The service was knowledgeable and friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming and engaging, the food was creative and well-executed. I sincerely enjoyed my experience there. However, I felt something was missing. Perhaps I was expecting a home run and got a triple instead. I honestly don’t know. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and step up to the plate again.

The reviews about volume are all true, but then what can one expect from repurposed industrial?

Food is largely on-point. The entrees were oddly disappointing; the seasonal, localvore gimmick wasn't the problem; it's more execution than concept. Starters, small plates and desserts were superlative, and worth coming back for by themselves. Will have to give a shot to their spring/summer menus. Service was knowledgeable, friendly, and timely, even though they were slammed. Wine selection was superb.

Excellent, though more hype than can be worth it on a busy weekend.

I give this place 10 stars for the atmosphere, 4 stars for the food. So that averages to at least 5 stars. The entrees are good but all the small plates and specials and appetizers are better. If you are coming here with a date I would suggest getting just one entree, then a bunch of the smaller stuff and splitting it all. I wasn't that impressed with any of the dessert options...but the ice cream was awesome.

The first time I went to Woodberry Kitchen, I left raving about it. I thought it was truly someplace special. I have since had two mediocre meals there. I want to love this place, so I will probably give it one more chance.

The Woodberry Kitchen is a fabulous restaurant. I have dined there on many occasions and every experience has been phenomenal. Begin by taking a trip to the bar and ordering one of the delicious cocktails. The menu changes frequently depending on which ingredients are available locally. The entrees are well balanced, flavourful and interesting. Great spot for a date, family dinner or girl's night out. The only caveat is you must be prepared to lay out a bit of tin-the Woodberry Kitchen is not cheap.

So I headed for a Bloggers Night on the Town with some fellow Bloggers to the Woodberry Kitchen. The Woodberry Kitchen is known for its seasonal ingredients from local growers and its organic meats.

You are greeted with a very modern and crisp atmosphere and perfect surroundings. The menu is ever changing based upon the seasons and what is in season. The online menu offers just a sample of the menu. There are too many wonderful sounding things and it was very hard to pick something.

I started with the Orchard Pears that were roasted with olive oil and seas salt ($5.00). The pears were perfectly cooked and not mushy or to hard. The salt gave it a nice taste helping pull out the natural juices and sweetness.

For my main course I had the Lamb Burger ($15.00) that ha d nice spiciness to it. Now I have had lamb in the past but never in burger form. I ordered it medium well and it came perfectly cooked (I tend to like my meat medium but when it comes to burgers I like it medium-well to well).

For dessert I had the Autumn Sundae with candied pumpkin and other fall themed toppings. I could eat this dessert a million times over.

If you are into mixed drinks try some of their drinks- I wasn’t drinking that night but I could had a nice time with some of those drinks.

The following bloggers were in attendance:
• Jake Slagle “Unique Culinary Adventures”
• Renee Shuman-Powell “Wine.Bread.Cheese”
• Courtney Bartlett “A Side of Cheerios”
• Liz and Nathan Stambaugh “What’s to Eat Baltimore”
• Lauren Brown and her Boyfriend “athlEAT”
• And of course me- Jessica Lemmo “Adventures in Baltimore Restaurants”

It seems like every-where I go, someone is talking about it, and most of the times I am the one that brought it up. What can I say, I’m in love! There hasnt' been a thing there that I didn't immediately go to my husband, “ohhhhh" you have to try this!”. What is there NOT to love about Woodberry? They use local, sustainable, and organic farms to supply their food, and WHY NOT!?!?. I mean come on folks, we ourselves should be doing that already in the comfort of our home.
Woodberry is located down in quaint little Clipper Mills (right off the light rail stop), it is beautiful on the outside and in. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the design of the restaurant is one of a kind. But to Fore-Warn you, due to popularity, you WILL want to make a reservation. Even on a week night a walk-in could be waiting an hour, just to sit at the bar. So plan ahead, and make the call, or you can make a reservation online at their website.

One of the perks of Woodberry that I love so much is that the menu is constantly changing, which is just down-right smart in my opinion. I mean we all have our favorite places, but why don’t we go there every night? Because most places always have the SAME menu. You could easily go to Woodberry every night, and try to eat everything on the menu in a week, and before you finish, it will all change. So if you see something you want, and their serving it, my suggestion is to get it.
Chef Spike seems to get creative with everything, and even takes the normal things and puts a twist on them you can't even think about doing. I personally recommend the sweet potato fries, and the fresh baked flat breads are another wonderful thing. I even have to say that even the bar-tenders get very creative for making the popular drinks with local or organic items. My personal favorite is the Mojito. The best I have ever had anywhere.
Another favorite part is the ice-cream. Now 9 times out of 10, my husband and I have stuffed ourselves silly, and only have room to share an item. But we ALWAYS get some sort of ice-cream. The flavors change, but are wonderful. The Maple is my husband’s personal favorite, and I am partial to the Coffee or Marshmallow.
At Woodberry you never have to even guess if something is fresh or grown local. It seems Chef Spike only picks the best of the best, and if that’s not available, he just goes to something else.
I tell everyone, they haven’t lived until they have eaten there. You can always go back again, and again, and continually be amazed.

Woodberry Kitchen is an example of a restaurant done right. They have the hook (Organic and Local) and they do it right. They use simple ingredients with intriguing flavor combinations yet not so intriguing that over-complicate the plates -- they smartly let the quality of their ingredients shine through. Wrap it all up with some fine service and a beautiful setting and you got something special. A little too expensive for a 5 star review, but oh so close.
