Eat Drink Relax

Eat Drink Relax (EDR) presents itself as an upscale dining option, and while the restaurant itself is beautiful with an inviting ambiance, my recent experience left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed. While the food had its highlights, the overall service and value did not quite meet expectations.We started with the crab balls, which were heavily seasoned and flavorful but disappointingly lacked the amount of crab meat I had hoped for. However, the red snapper was a standout dish--succulent and well-prepared. On the other hand, the kale and Caesar salad fell short, as it was dry despite being fresh and crispy.The service during our visit was lacking, which detracted from the overall experience. It felt as though the staff was overwhelmed and unable to provide the attentive service one would expect from a place trying to present itself as upscale.I found the menu to be overpriced given the quality of the food. EDR seems to want to position itself as an upscale restaurant, but it feels more like a basic bar with a nice menu rather than a fine dining establishment.Parking is also a consideration, as it is metered on the street, which can add an extra layer of inconvenience to your visit.There were some enjoyable aspects to the meal and the restaurant itself is beautiful, the combination of service issues, questionable value, and the overall atmosphere left me hesitant to recommend Eat Drink Relax.

Last month my bookclub host chose EDR to hold our monthly bookclub meeting. As a Baltimore based Black Women based bookclub, we take pride in supporting and patronizing black owned restaurants for our monthly meetings. However, when the group shared their experience I was not surprised. However, I am surprised by the owners response when one our members shared their experience and review of the EDR.For the owner, to respond saying that we felt entitled to service that we as patrons deserved is egotistic and unsettling. You want us to (1) have known that we were entering into a "promoted event" when our reservations where made through Open Table and (2) have known that you were short staffed. That is beyond crazy to me. Instead of taking the review as a moment to improvement services and business processes you chose to attack her in a response to her honest review? Riddle me that! And in reading reviews, you attack all unfavorable reviews with some excuse or that you tried to accommodate normal expectations when choosing to dine at a restaurant.We wish you the best of luck and longevity in your business. We view it as short lived!

This experience is one you must have. First let me start with Makaila. She is the best. I walked in and she was so personal, welcoming, and very informed about everything on the menu and her recommendations were great. The interior and exterior decor is very chic. I love the purple theme throughout. You could tell their was thought put into the colors and furniture. I ordered the brisket flatbread which was adventurous for me since I don't typically eat brisket. I wanted to try something new and it was so good omg. The menu is so fun and full of many options and fun names. The prices are moderate and well worth the overall vibes,views of the establishment. They have different events happening on different dates throughout the week. I can't wait to come back for Wednesday Karaoke!

Several aspects of my dining experience left me feeling unsatisfied. I visited this restaurant two weeks ago after church and was greeted and escorted to the bar by the table busser, Brittany. She warmly welcomed me, suggested menu items, and ensured I had water and utensils.However, as time progressed, my waitress/bartender seemed increasingly overwhelmed, especially when large groups were seated in her section. Unfortunately, she forgot about me, and I waited for my check for approximately 30 minutes. When she finally came over, she asked if I had already paid, which was frustrating because she never came to check on me after I finished my food, and I was just patiently sitting at the bar waiting for her to come over. The automatic tip, cleverly disguised as a 'service fee, 'added to my bill, added to my disappointment.I ordered fried deviled eggs, gumbo, and a mimosa. Regrettably, my food was lukewarm, a letdown, considering I was sitting at the bar. The dishes lacked seasoning and tasted as though they could have been made at home. The only redeeming factor was the gravy used on the gumbo, which was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing meal.

My first time attending was with a party of around 15. The food was tasty but cold. I asked for more sauce for my pasta, but it was too spicy for my liking's. I would try again with less people. The ambiance was nice good place for good pictures. I was absolutely blown away but the clouds in the ceiling on the top floor.

First time visiting after seeing it on TikTok and the ambiance was unexpectedly relaxing as intended. It's a great place to brunch/happy hour where you can capture the essence of vibes through music and photos. Arrived around 2pm, brunch was still being served and full menu available as well. It wasn't too busy so we got seated almost immediately and the food didn't take very long but the bar may have been backed due their bottomless mimosas/margaritas on Thursdays.We ordered the grilled wings, deep fried deviled eggs, cinnamon roll fries and breakfast burrito. The food was mouth watering, and so filling that the three of us didn't finish all of it. If you luv coffee + dessert try the cookies and cream espresso martini.

**EDR Restaurant Review**My girlfriend and I decided to go on a date at EDR Restaurant this past Friday evening. Upon arrival, we were surprised to find the place completely empty--we actually thought they might be closed! Fortunately, they were open, and we decided to sit at the bar. For a while, we had the entire place to ourselves, which made for a unique experience.The bar service was good, attentive, and friendly. We started with the grilled wings as an appetizer, which were cooked to perfection and incredibly tasty.For our entrees, I ordered the pan-seared salmon filet. While it appeared to be well-cooked on the outside, it was unfortunately way undercooked on the inside, which was disappointing. On the other hand, my girlfriend's double-onion lamb burger was cooked perfectly, and she really enjoyed it.We also tried a few cocktails: I had a lemon drop and a watermelon mojito, both of which were refreshing and well-mixed. My girlfriend opted for a blue MFer, which she liked.Despite the initial emptiness, EDR Restaurant has a great vibe with bomb music that enhances the overall experience. I would go back for drinks and good vibes.

This is the first time I've ever tried a drink at a Bae and just had to step back and say WOW! Now THAT'S good! The food and ambiance are excellent as well. 10/10 would recommend.

EDR is a good location for a little happy hour. I've gone to this location several times. The drinks are overpriced, but the ambiance is cute. Bottomless Mimosas are available! We were able to enjoy this. They bring out carafes and you let the waitress know when you're ready for a refill. There is a 2 hour limit on this. Staff is always pretty friendly. Food is just okay.

Ya got to get out here!!!! Angel is the business, best bartender eva!!!Sometimes the food can take forever! I don't think they have enough staff tbh. Cool spot to watch the game or their karaoke night!!! Talk about lit!
