Restaurant Week Baltimore: Crush already started

[crowsonguy]

Crush has already started putting parts of their regular menu on, and serving a good value RW menu. At lunch, I had truffled bacon risotto with a poached egg, then a salad tower with lump crab and lobster, tomato, cheese and mixed tasty greens. Ended up with moist individual apple cake with caramel-- and the caramel was real.

Very good value for $20.10

Pazo's RW menu looks good value too.

I had lunch at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion (Harbor East) today. Fantastic!
Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi w/Lobster Cream. Perfectly cooked. Lobster Cream was fresh and wholesome (no tartness or bland, diluted froth). Just a great time.
Service: spot on. Even gave us a card for a cooking class soon to be held.
We will be back.

My last experience at Pazo was terrible. I wouldn't go back if it was free.

Tastes differ.

Went to Pazo tonight, and had crunchy, aromatic chard, the usual great roast onion brushetta, eggplant dip that tasted fresh from a field, seared scallops with superior butternut puree, and intensely flavorful goat cheese agnilotti. Service, as usual, was not pushy but prompt. I always have had a good time there.

I feel the same way Jon!

My experiences have been fantastic. I'm curious-- what happened? What it service-related or food related?

I posted about it here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/665580

For what we paid, it was not good in any respect.

It sounds like several people have had an average or poor experience. I think I might have a hazy memory of a meal there a year or two ago that wasn't great, but recent visits have been awesome. I thought their beet salad was just about the best thing I've ever eaten. I must have been lucky-- it sounds like they aren't very consistent.
