Keystone Korner - Baltimore

Great concept might be still finding its way organizationally, but it’s a nice place and it has a lot of potential. Some patrons may view it as purely a performance venue (not also a restaurant and bar), which unfortunately resulted in an unpleasant experience during my visit. My friend and I, engaged in a normal conversation while seated at the bar some distance from the stage, seem to have irritated a fellow customer enough to cause her to leave her seat and rudely slam down a ‘low conversations please’ sign probably taken from her table in the performance seating area onto the bar between us. We found this surprising and rather aggressive (as did our bartender). I think if the club had been more full, there would have been a quiet hum of conversation around the bar and in the dining area away from the stage and thus our talking would not have been as distinguishable. So I hope the club draws bigger crowds as time goes on and that everybody can be comfortable with their chosen experience. Until then, if you want to go with friends and you might want to chat with them, you probably should sit farther away from the stage you’ll still be able to hear the music and see the performers on the big screen monitors around the club. I’d really like for this place to succeed, and I hope they will continue to book good artists and groups Baltimore needs a good jazz club like this!

Large concept could still find its way organizational, but it is a beautiful place and it has a lot of potential. some of the more gönners can see it as a pure venue (not also as a restaurant and bar) which unfortunately led to an unpleasant experience during my visit. my friend and I, in a normal conversation, while in the bar some distance from the stage, seem tempted to cause a fellow human so that they leave their seat and rudely a "low talk please" sign, probably taken from their table in the performance sitting area to the bar between us. we found this surprising and more aggressive (like our barkeeper). I think if the club had been more full, it would have been a quiet talk about the bar and in the escaping away from the stage and so our conversation would not have been so distinguishable. so I hope that the club draws larger quantities when the time goes on and that everyone can be comfortable with its chosen experience. until then, if they want to go with friends and maybe want to chat with them, they should probably continue to sit away from the stage, they will still be able to hear the music and see the performers on the big screen monitors around the club.

We attended the Sunday Brunch which featured a pianist playing while we dined. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable. The omelettes were great. The management and serving staff were excellent. Kelly, our server, was the best. We have reservations again, in a few weeks, and are looking forward to it.

ASK FOR KELLY . SHE IS THE BEST . WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

Service was fantastic, food was tasty but definitely overpriced. We ordered the seared scallops for an appetizer. They were fantastic. We ordered a rib entrée and a chicken entrée so that we could share and compare. Both were good but nothing to write home about. Atmosphere and music were absolutely amazing. Will definitely be returning if only for music and drinks.
