    Crab cakes were delicious as always. Asparagus good too. Desserts were OK not super. Coffee not hot, and no refills were offered. We had to ask for standard condiments with meal( ketchup, cocktail , tartar) Waitress was rushed- threw our dessert forks on the table in one bunch and ran off. Checked with us a couple of times during meal(good), but seemed very rushed. It was busy. Service was ok, not great though, so when the four of us received the bill with the 20% gratuity added already for a “large party” ( 4 of us in a booth) we were surprised and not very pleased.

    We experienced a delightful Easter meal. The service was excellent. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. We had a wonderful time. Our Crab cakes were filled with luscious white chunks of crab meat. The salad was fresh and crispy. The ice tea is really delicious. I always can judge by the ice tea if it isn’t tasty usually the rest of the meal is just average.

    Front of the House - neutral. still appears to be too much interaction between staff and telephones. Little attention to the guests. Wait Staff - Monica - menu knowledge and positive with recommendations. Attentive and helpful. Meal - Maryland crab soup - wonderful; seasoned; and tasty. Mini crab cakes - backfin; seasoned; and tasty. Solid go to meal. In the Pappas wheel house - you cannot go wrong with the crab cakes. Go on-line and send them to friends and family. Food Expediters - engaging and interactive. Solid members of the Team and overall experience.

    We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday for lunch today. Everyone ordered the crab crabcake and crab soup with a side. The service was excellent and our waitress was very friendly and helpful with our order. Pappas crab cakes are the best in Baltimore!
