Marie Louise Bistro - Baltimore

It was just bad. I used to live in the area and raved about this place to my husband. I used to dine here many years ago, so being in town decided to take him our daughter for dinner. The charcuterie was fine, a bit scant, but fine. We ordered the shrimp the bistro burger. We waited, and waited, and waited. Our server was up front with us and said our food was never put in. When we finally got our meals, the supposed-to-be medium well burger was well done, the fries were soggy, the shrimp Provençal was embarrassing. There were 4 crostini on the plate only 3 shrimp with a very small amount of zucchini mushrooms, even less sauce. I didn’t feel like getting into it so I said nothing but $16 for 3 shrimp feels like highway robbery. They offered dessert on the house for the mixup which was a nice gesture. We had the cheesecake lemon bar — both were fine. Then the check came. We were double charged for everything but the charcuterie. The waiter had to come correct it. I was SO EMBARASSED to have spoken so highly only for our experience to be downright bad. This is the last time I’ll ever dine here, unfortunately.

Food and atmosphere were great, service however leaves much to be desired. Once our food order was taken not once were we checked on or were our drinks refilled. I wanted to order another round of cocktails but literally no one came by to check on us. Disappointing considering how excited I was to eat here

The atmosphere is very calming and welcoming. Highly recommend the croque madame. The bistro burger is just ok.

Food wasn't that great, over priced. Street atmosphere wasn't nice, but it's not entirely their fault. I'd recommend seating inside, much

Service was wonderful. Some of the best steak tartare I have had I a long time. Server's recommended dishes were spot on. Specialty cocktails went with the ricotta pistachio cake perfectly. Will definitely be back next time we are in town
