**Dining Experience at Alizee: A Mixed Bag**
Alizee presents a dining experience that is far from consistent. While some patrons have found solace in its serene atmosphere and attentive service, many others have expressed disappointment with both the food and service quality. Common criticisms include bland and poorly prepared dishes, understaffing during busy hours, and a lack of attention to detail. Though the restaurant offers appealing elements, such as generous portions and a charming dessert selection, the overall execution often falls short. For those seeking an exceptional culinary journey, it may be wise to explore other options nearby.

It was a quiet night with not much activity, but it seemed like the hotel was generally slow. I didn’t mind, as the peaceful atmosphere allowed me to get some work done. I ordered the Roasted Chicken and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion; it was truly delightful. My server, Juan, was very attentive, frequently checking in to see if I needed refills and to ensure the food was satisfactory. For dessert, I had the Cookie Sandwich, which featured the hotel’s cookies—my personal favorite whenever I stay here. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit if you’re in town for business.
I went with my partner tonight and noticed that the menu has changed since my last visit to Baltimore, when some friends took me there. The restaurant is located in a hotel, so it wasn’t very busy. However, there were a few tables occupied when we arrived for dinner. We chose to sit in the bar area, where Ricardo served us with great enthusiasm. I tried the hamburger, and we will definitely return in the future!
So I should have read the reviews first. My experience mirrors much of what has already been said in previous reviews. There was no one in the restaurant, which should have give us a clue, but we went ahead and honored our reservation. Our waiter, who was also the bartender...and I believe the cook was very pleasant. The food was horrible. The wings were old, hard and flavorless. The Deviled Eggs were unimaginative and plain. The Shrimp and Chicken Pasta looked like a dish a 12 year old would make and it too had no seasoning. The burger I ordered Medium Rare and it came out completely raw. The lettuce and tomato was old and wilted, but I would have dealt with that had the burger been edible. We left still hungry and totally dissatisfied with the experience. Quite honestly, the best thing about this restaurant is the name...but don't get it twisted, the experience in no way lives up to the name. Needless to say, we won't be back.
I had a disappointing experience at the restaurant. The surf and turf crab dish contained bits of shells, and my date found hair in her water. Despite waiting around 20 minutes for our food, my meat arrived cold, and my date's meat was completely raw and also cold. The ceviche was a letdown as it was just three shrimp in a cup with some garnish, rather than a proper ceviche. To top it off, the rosé we received tasted like white wine. Overall, it wasn't a great experience.
Our restaurant week meal at Alizee was a good deal, but the overall experience was lackluster. My “cheese plate” was simply cheese cubes and a few hard baguette slices. The restaurant was not busy, but still seemed understaffed (we dined on a Friday evening and only saw two staff members). Only three tables were full in our section of the restaurant, but they put us so close together it was impossible to not hear every word of our neighbor’s conversations. Another table next to us sat with the dirty dishes of a previous party throughout our entire meal. I don’t think we’ll be returning, even for restaurant week.

Service was terrible. Ambiance bad. Bowl full of empty creamers on the table. Crab cakes tasted like mashed potatoes with maybe a half ounce of crab meat. Only thing good was soup and old bay wings. Never again. Oh, and $7 to valet park the car. Ridiculous.
There are much better places nearby to eat. I had family staying in the hotel, and we thought it would be convenient the evening they arrived. The restaurant was nearly empty, service was terrible, food was edible, but uninteresting, tasteless. I live nearby. It would be so nice for the neighborhood to have a good restaurant here!
Rather ordinary. Standard upscale hotel breakfast buffet. $14.95. No menu options, unlike what website promises. Pleasant staff but buffet was only option. Lots of carbs, 'meh ' coffee and quick omelets with undercooked ingredients. Convenient parking, great location.
The food wasn't that good and the ambiance was really stuffy. Some of the food was cold. Not terrible but definitely not the best.
