I know I am late but I have been binge watching your reviews to notice your consistency. I noticed that you are rude with the waitresses. Its not their restaurant. Its like you come in with the notion that its already gonna be bad. its like you looking for it to be nasty and not up to your standards. You not coming in with a positive or an open mind at all. I think you should have a neutral stance the entire time and wait until the end before you give your opinion. because it seems like your negative energy is influencing the people with you and they have a negative attitude feeding from you. I love you I have your books and cookware. But just my honest opinion as to why people may feel that way about you. I had bariatric surgery as well so I know how important it is to have good food because you don't have much space, and you are already wasting money anyway so it better be good. But lighten up and have a better attitude when you are doing these reviews because It makes you look like a catty B.I.T.C.H. and Im tired of the stigma on us as a black community. I love you and this is from a loving place.... RELAX!!!!!!

Man he doesn’t have to be so damn extra!!! The content and review are awesome, but it’s like you are trying to hard!! No disrespect!

[@JayL51084]

Whys it necessary for you to announce yourself when you enter the establishment or name drop the chef? being anonymous is a key to a review like this. If they dont know who you are which they clearly didn't. It's your Ego announcing itself when it enters the building. Being humble will go a long way! Keith Lee has entered the comments!

Why is everything in an egg roll? Lol. Welcome to Maryland and DC😂

I been here, great abeyance, service, and food. Very mature atmosphere and you have to make a reservation.

[@Diligently2U]

This was a good review Darius. I like the aesthetics of the restaurant.. Black is my favorite color. The food looked delicious.

Hey Darius, best time you’re in Bmore try Konokos in White Marsh. It’s a Jamaican restaurant with a twist.

I live in Baltimore the Black swan 🦢 is a very popular restaurant😋

[@marshallmcgowen4889]

Ask him what happen to his food places and git a lie

[@JayL51084]

And just so we're all clear, anything upscale and black owned will now be deemed an "Instagram Restaurant" is Carbone being an Instagram restaurant isn't a bad thing. Why is it the way you're tone is depicting a black establishment come off negatively? (To me) Like if you feel the same.

[@karenfranklin9247]

I went twice while visiting Baltimore and loved the lamb chops. The owner is amazing and customer service was on point!

[@earth2air2water]

The food looks amazing. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I will definitely check it out when I pass through Baltimore !

[@curveygirl723]

Been her a couple times and the food was cool, presentation was everything drinks were amazing, the ambience was super nice and the service was outstanding!

[@deborahcrawford7285]

Ok that cocktail dun kicked in😂😂😂😂

[@bosslady6879]

You aint lying!

[@curaholistica7205]

Strawberry shortcake IS a biscuit.....not an actual cake. They did it right like it's supposed to be. This ain't no hood spot serving up strawberry cake mix from a box.🙄🙄🙄

[@jameekagillis]

Thank you!! Like, he's critiquing dishes and doesn't even know the proper way it's made. 😐🙄😒

[@jeannebenson9613]

As a white person raised in the south, my favorite food is soul food. I would rather eat soul food than a lot of the overpriced white corporate restaurants in our country. Soul food to me is cooking with your heart and comes from a long lineage of soul food cooks. I was blessed to have been raised by a beautiful black woman when I was growing up who taught me so many things as a very young white child living in the south from ironing my clothes to learning how to make her chicken and dumplings. I am very thankful for all of the things she exposed me to as a youngster until I was around 15 years old. She was my second mother in reality. My father hired her to baby sit, then she became a full time employee because my father was in the Marine Corps full time and my mother worked a full time job. Whenever she cooked I knew I would be eating really well. God I miss her stories and her love for me. I truly believe she loved me as one of her own children. Anyway, just wanted to share. God bless!!

[@candiblack4234]

Thank You for sharing you were blessed.

[@patriciabennett6465]

Thank you for sharing. I’m sure she treated you as one of her own children.❤

[@bobbymarie8002]

What's up with the CAMERA-MAN Not Showing the Table!! He didn't show the stuffed shrimp either! Cory off today...lol! 2 out of 5

[@deborahcrawford7285]

I appreciate his honesty. If you open up a restaurant, you’ve got to know how to cook PERIOD!

[@mikebrown8937]

Bro couldn’t keep his own restaurant open how can judge someone else tho 😂😂😂

[@therealist2000]

@@mikebrown8937with that logic, we have no right to judge the taste of food as we’re not chefs 😑

[@katllo1]

​@@mikebrown8937and yet here you are passing judgement yourself ~

[@candiblack4234]

You should never cough in your hands and then offer to shake some one's hand with the same hand, that's a big no no, and very disrespectful, pertaining to food!

[@LatoyaGale]

It’s one of my favorites love the fried lobster

[@trish1684]

You should have given them nothing less than a 4, maybe even, 4.5. That food looked delicious. There was only a couple that you thought wasn't great to your liking. Looked like a great establishment.

[@mstastee1138]

The food Looks really good.. and thank you for sharing

[@EnchantedCande]

The food looks great! I'll definitely try this restaurant out soon! Great review with honest feedback.

Corey was doing his best to keep a job because his opinion was always the same as Darius’. They act like their palette is only for 5 star restaurants.

[@jannjackson8461]

Definitely going to check it out when I am in town in August!

Baltimore is the scariest city I have ever visited. Worse than Detroit

[@CeeHam]

I'm born and raised in Bmore. It's no different from most cities. It has its good parts and bad parts. You need a tour guide who can show you around. It can be a really fun place if you know where to go. And Bmore is more than just the Harbor.

[@mochasoqrimey]

@@CeeHamThank you for sticking up for our city. It’s not as bad as it’s perceived.

[@Iam_savannah]

When was the last time you’ve been to Detroit?? Detroit scary?? Not!

[@katllo1]

Where are you from exactly?

[@tiffxyz2532]

Baltimore is very diverse. One of the largest black suburbs, top ten of black businesses in the U.S, 2 major HBCU's and one of the most notorious hoods in America. The "scary parts" says more about the person giving you a tour of the city.
