We had early dinner on a weekday. Place was quite with only 3 other tables occupied. Attentive service, fresh seafood, and delicious dishes.

Ouzo bay delivers on all levels when it comes to Greek food and fresh seafood in particular their starters menu is great. We had the dips and that was great. We had grilled calamari which is fresh and also very healthy and I ended up with the sword fish from Block Island and my friend had the salmon both very well prepared and grilled on a real grill as opposed to a flat top filled with fat and butter like in most restaurants and Ouzo Bay has a nice atmosphere, the service was terrific and a good selection of Greek wines. Recommended and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food compared with any other high end restaurant I've had dinner in Baltimore.

The food was excellent. The sparkling water was the bomb. I don't usually do mussels, but theirs were flavorful. Definitely would go back.

Every team member demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and genuine care that made the entire evening feel effortless.

Each dish showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality and authentic Mediterranean flavors. From the fresh seafood to the perfectly seasoned accompaniments, every bite was a testament to the kitchen's skill and passion. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were even better. What made this experience truly remarkable was witnessing Ouzo Bay welcome Baltimore's Street Chronicles youth for fine dining and etiquette training. The staff embraced this opportunity with such grace and enthusiasm, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and learning. Watching these young people experience fine dining while learning proper etiquette was heartwarming and inspiring. The restaurant team went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, valued, and engaged. They transformed what could have been an intimidating experience into one filled with laughter, learning, and genuine connection. This evening embodied everything wonderful about Baltimore's spirit community, growth, and opportunity coming together in the most beautiful way.

Ouzo Bay has earned a permanent place on my list of exceptional restaurants. Their combination of incredible food, outstanding service, and genuine heart makes them a true gem in Baltimore's dining scene. This is what hospitality looks like when it's done right with skill, warmth, and purpose. Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just a great meal, but a truly meaningful dining experience.

Went there for mother's day weekend. Sat outside in the evening. Service and atmosphere was great. Food could be bigger portions for the price. Did not take pictures of the drinks, but cocktails could've been better.

The food was amazing the app and entree where to die for. The salad and dessert were ehh. But since we didnt “select” them i wont count them in this review. My server was not very prompt however. I has to get up and ask a random person for assistance. My actual server never came back to the table after her two bite check in. Also. The website said that live music was there every friday and saturday, and that was not the case for valendtines day (friday). Other than that. I have no complaints. The restaurant is pricey, but the flavor of the dishes we ordered matched my expectation. On a scale of 1/10 id give it a 7.5/8. Considering an average score being 5. This place met expectation
