I recently visited Water for Chocolate in Baltimore, MD, and had a very disappointing experience. I asked for medium-rare on my ribeye and received a medium-well to well-done steak. Our server was arrogant and had a careless attitude. He didn't come back with a resolution about the steak until my friend inquired. When he finally did, he asked me what I wanted to do about it, which showed a lack of care from the chef as well. They removed the steak from the bill, but I ended up without an entrée for my brunch. The management and customer service were poor. We repeatedly had to request water refills, and when the bill came, our friend's dish was overcharged by $5. When we brought this to our server's attention, he deflected by saying he doesn't make decisions and is just a messenger. We didn't need him to decide anything, just to inform the chef about the overcharge. I had initially liked this restaurant, but the lack of customer service, the poor quality of my steak, and the lack of response mean I won't be returning.

Reservation was for 5pm. It was for my Sorority Sisters Birthday, which I noted in the comment section of the reservation. The food was good, the atmosphere was quaint with a good vibe. Our server was accommodating & humorous. My disappointment was that we were appx 20 feet from the Chef and he never acknowledged our presence or came to wish my sister happy birthday, we were the only ones in the restaurant for about 45-50 minutes. We spent about $200 including gratuity…without a hello!

We came from St. Maarten for a concert and looked for the best place from brunch. It did not disappoint! Flavors were carefully conserved and the cocktails were everything.

As always, an incredible experience at WFC. The flavor profile is potentially the best in Baltimore and the service is aligned as well. This is our favorite restaurant in Baltimore and we can't wait for our next visit.
