Love the food love the food, we had reservations and parking was the worst so please go early; but when we got there we noticed that the hostess which are younger was sitting friends first or people they knew. We made reservations but that did not matter which means the people who made reservations had to wait. Which was sad because the food was delicious this was our 35th anniversary and the food made up for the seating and parking situation but they need a better system seating people with reservations or better hostess to handle a busy door.

Crab Egg rolls were good. Stuffed Honey Glazed Salmon was not worth the $60.00, the honey glaze was too sweet and saturated everything on the plate (asparagus). -Ambiance not very warm and welcoming. The music was too loud to hear people sitting across from me. In an effort to maintain open tables they have a two hour max dinning experience and I felt rushed. We sat near the hostess stand and I overheard the use of profanity which in my opinion is unprofessional and un pleasant to hear while eating. This restaurant is over hyped and I expected better.

Absolutely terrible experience! Our reservation was for 3:45 and we weren’t seated until 4:20. It took 20 minutes for a waitress to come over to take our orders. I ordered the chicken with mac and kale. The chicken breast was extremely thin and small, totally not worth $25 (a la carte ). I could buy a whole pack of chicken breast and cook it myself for that. I sent the chicken back, because no! The kale and mac were decent and the drinks were ok. In conclusion terrible service and overpriced food. I will not be returning.

I wanted to love this place! The ambiance for Friday afternoon was nice. Loved the music but could've been a tad softer in the main dining area. I waited more than 5 minutes at the check-in booth before going to the bar to ask if anyone was going to check me in. Then they told me that person was in the restroom so I continued to wait until finally, a server was able to come over and get someone to assist me. By then I decided to sit at the bar. The young lady didn't inform me that the menu was by QR scan nor did she check to see if I needed a drink for all over 15 minutes. Once I ordered my drink it took another 10 minutes to come. Once I ordered my food everything came out quickly. However, the lamb wasn't trimmed, fatty, and I wasn't served with a steak knife. The mac and cheese was phenomenal and the kale was great as well. For $40, I was given a sprinkle of 1942 compared to others getting real pours of Hennessey. Don't know if I would go back because the service was very lackluster and for the 20% gratuity on ALL checks, I need my service to be decent.

The food was very good. It was delicious, hot and prepared relatively quickly from the time of ordering to the time of having it delivered to the table. The jerk lamb chops were well prepared to medium temp just as we requested. It was a good time. The music was loud but not too loud and it was a really good DJ mix so we were kinda jamming at the table.

The host could be a bit more professional. Other than that my husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. Our server Forrest was exceptional. Very professional very upbeat and carried a big smile every time he came to our table. If we’re ever in Baltimore we’ll return just badged off Forrest’s service alone.

I had a really great experience at Papi Cuisine! My friend and I chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday and our server Amber was very attentive and quick with getting our drink and food orders out. Everyone online suggested the crab cake egg rolls and I would agree it’s one of the best appetizers on the menu. I would definitely recommend and I will be coming back for brunch! Thank you!

Unfortunately the food didn’t meet up to the restaurants reputation. The food was clearly pre made/prepared instead of made to order. The entree came right after the appetizer which arrived 10 minutes after we ordered. Macaroni was dry and the lamb tasted reheated and warm temperature

Per usual, we travel from Philly to bmore for Papi’s, and per usual our food was delish. The customer service is always top tier; that’s definitely something that stands out. Whether it’s a Saturday or weekday (which today was our first time traveling on a weekday) we leave full and happy lol. The dj was popping, but it got a little too loud; couldn’t really hear our own conversation towards the end of our visit. In general great experience!! Keep it up!!!
