This is a fine dining place. A business casual attire is required. The food and service were excellent. I don't believe small children are allowed. This is definitely a place to meet coworkers for "happy hour" or a date or to have a business meeting.
This restaurant is just 🔥 love the service , decor and the food . Can't wait to visit again . 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🍽🍷
We came to Ouzo Bay on a Monday after work. The service from start to finish was great - friendly, attentive, fun, and helpful.
The food was amazing. Mussels to start were delicious. I got the swordfish chop with truffle mac. The portions were huge (probably enough for two meals!) and delicious.
I enjoyed their cocktails, but we also really loved that they have non alcoholic cocktails. Love to see it!
Overall, I would recommend Ouzo Bay if you’re looking for a great meal from a staff who wants to make sure you have a good experience.

I went past Ouzo Bay on a trip to Baltimore before and it’s ambiance intrigued me from the outside. The next time I came to Baltimore, I made a point of trying it. I was on a trip to celebrate my birthday was looking forward to trying a new restaurant in a city that I have grown up visiting. From the start, the manager was very welcoming and presented me with a birthday card on behalf of the staff. I was also given my seating preference from the reservation. This restaurant has a lovely ambiance with modern fixtures and lively but controlled music.
The menu here is very expansive and mixes Mediterranean classics with some unique dishes. This began as early as the complementary bread that was served. Instead of standard sourdough with olive oil, bread with raisins was served, which was a flavorful surprise early on. Next, the trio of spreads — a selection out of four available — was delectable. My favorite of the three I ordered (traditional hummus, tzatziki, and a date, goat cheese, and herb spread) was by far the goat cheese spread. It was a step above a typical cheese spread offered at many Mediterranean restaurants in that it introduced a naturally sweet option to pair with pita and crudité. For my second course, I ordered the grilled Portuguese octopus and charred calamari. A refreshing elevation to typical “American cuisine”, chargrilled calamari is a rare menu item. The dish exceeded my expectations, especially granted it’s difficulty to prepare. I could easily cut through each piece and the grilled squid was plated nicely with frisée and feta cheese on top. My only complaint of the evening was that the octopus was more dry and a little chewy. Grilled octopus is my favorite dish at most restaurants, but I believe the grilled calamari should always be your first choice here. My third course consisted of lamb meatballs and the flaming saganaki, a dish I have seen presented before at other restaurants, but never tried myself. The saganaki is brought out from the kitchen and set on fire table side, which is a great spectacle. The cheese itself is delicious and still wonderfully smokey. The lamb meatballs were also quite good and came in a beautiful petal-shaped bowl. Finally, my server surprised me with their chocolate brownie dessert, complete with a birthday candle, which was a perfect ending to the evening.
Throughout the whole experience, my sever, Chicas, the server assistants, and the manager were all very attentive, even more so than staff at restaurants more upscale than this one. They came over repeatedly to check on how everything was, which was much appreciated. Overall, as someone who appreciates restaurants, quality food and service, as well as someone who works in the industry myself, I would highly recommend Ouzo Bay if you are visiting the city or have not tried it yet. I will definitely be back in the future!
The food was amazing. We had fresh fish, greek salad, potatoes, and fried egg plants. Everything was very delicious. The wine list was very good. I will return.

We were just passing by and found this Italian restaurant online ahead of time and made a reservation in advance.
Location; Although it is the city center, there are restaurant staff at the door to help with parking.
Service; The waiters in the restaurant are professional and friendly, and they will promptly replace the clean tableware and wipe the table.
Dining environment; we sat in a space where we could see the night view of the city, and the flashing neon lights and soothing background music made us feel good.
Appetizer; charred squid; white squid in a triangular shape with charred black and yellow streaks. Capers, feta, citrus vinaigrette.
delicious.
SEAFOOD MEZEDES; grilled Portuguese octopus, a very interesting appetizer with a lot of content. Spread out round and round in the middle of the plate, it looks like hummus. Octopus cubes with minced onion and diced bell pepper, served with red wine capers
Main course; Aegean Bronzino, tasty, nothing special.
Dessert; Galaktoboureko, semolina custard wrapped in flaky phyllo, orino honey, powdered sugar. I have never tried it, but I really want to try it. Not disappointed, the taste is soft, sweet and delicious. Drink Baileys coffee, the perfect combination.
Although I live far away from here, maybe I will try other special Italian dishes next time.

Updated Review -
To be very transparent, our first interaction with Ouzo was sub par (if you want to read about it, the unedited review is below). That being said, folks associated with Atlas Dining (Ouzo Bay owning group) really went above and beyond to rectify our experience.
Since our bad experience, I was immediately contacted by Rodney - an executive with Atlas Dining. He expressed his apologies for our experience and immediately tried to rectify the experience with a better one.
We went back to Ouzo Bay on September 16th, it was a gorgeous day, we sat inside on their covered patio with the sliding doors, open.
We got the trio of spreads which was really well made and the flaming saganaki (very good, make sure to eat it before it cools!). The Brussel sprout salad was also delicious! My partner had the truffle mac and cheese which is delicious as always and I had the swordfish. We finished it off with the baclava (DELICIOUS) and a brownie dessert.
Overall, Sarah the GM at Ouzo Bay was fantastic and really made sure we had an great night. The service was much, much better than before and overall the experience was wonderful.
This place is certainly seafood heavy, and so the menu can be slightly limited as a vegetarian (as my partner is). We will certainly come back! Thanks to all the folks at Atlas!
Old Review - Honestly - I would have given this a one star it will make sense why I gave them two stars.
We went there for Valentines Day - it was a Monday night, by no means was the place crowded, yes it was busy but there were open tables EVERYWHERE.
We were seated kind of awkwardly in this middle row which really didn't have much room on either side - which was fine just not the "best"
Our server was atrocious. The waitress stand was literally right behind us and she was constantly there so there was 0 reason for her lack of service but literally we had to ask for her attention every time. We saw people get seated after us get served their DINNER before we were even asked for our order. Then when we got our food - she never once came over to ask if we needed anything AND when we wanted to get the check/leave - we again had to wave her down.
Food wise - it was okay. Certainly overpriced and honestly not worth it. We got the trio spreads which were good and the village salad which was not. The truffle mac and cheese was good and I got the mussels which honestly were not great.
Drinks were also okay. Certainly not a place I would return to pay 15 dollars a drink for.
The reason I have to give this place 2 stars was because of the manager. After we paid as we were leaving we stopped at the host stand to just mention our experience. He immediately asked us to wait and then came back and refunded our whole meal. It was really unnecessary and unexpected - obviously we had already paid. But the fact that management was attentive to these issues was very kind.
What a wonderful restaurant with a great staff and fantastic atmosphere! The food was so delicious from start to finish. The waitress was so nice and knowledgeable. I even appreciated the manager coming by when the food was dropped off just to tell us to enjoy our meal and ask if we needed anything else. Definitely returning!
I had a very nice birthday dinner here. The lamb was tasty but it depended on the sauce for its flavor. My campanion said her snapper lacked seasoning. They greeted me with birthday greetings and presented me with a hand written card. I really enjoyed my drinks and they even gave us a complimentary birthday shot. The atmosphere was very calming but lively. There is a blue hue throughout and upbeat background music. There is one thing I noticed that didn't jive with the image of this upscale restaurant....there were cobwebs under the lit wall art. I only noticed it because it was at my eye level where we were seated. The big picture, I had a great time.

Out of this world experience! Our favourite part about this was the OUTSTANDING customer service! Wish I could rate with higher stars! The staff was highly attentive, loving, and understanding. We had made reservations inside but due to the beautiful weather we asked to sit outside. Wonderful time until rain poured out of no where. We were halfway eating out meal and were getting wet so we asked staff if it was possible to go inside. Despite of how busy they were, immediately Tunde Ajala got us an incredible table inside. Not only that but he made sure we felt at home. With his kindness and outstanding customer service it made this spot our favourite one! We had friends visiting for the first time from Orlando FL and they too were amazed at the incredible customer service. The food was delicious and fresh. We had an incredible experience and will definitely recommend and come back. You can go to a nice restaurant but what truly makes an impact are the employees. Ouzo bay clearly knows this because they hired the best so we can have an incredible customer experience! So happy we went!
