Darius is so extra!!! Mistakes happen like gheesh he drug it out more than it had to be when the lemonade was spilled!! He was degrading the menu before he even tried the food!! The vibe was giving malicious before he even entered the building!!! Jealousy is such an ugly trait!!

[@jsmooth2268]

I agree... It was just an accident when the waitress spilled the lemonade... Things happen... It seemed like he downgraded every single dish after that... I think the food looked good... If I was in Baltimore, I would still try the restaurant's food myself even after watching his review... Everyone has different opinions... I would never go by one person's opinion for sure...

[@trinafuller5076]

Period, no wonder the girl spilled the lemonaid, because of the aura coming off him, and if he say this what y’all baltimoreans like, I can’t

[@missamerica2694]

@@trinafuller5076he didn’t have to be upfront and honest that he was doing a review of the food nor did he have to encourage ppl to check out the restaurant in spite of it not being his personal preference. Darius is very straight forward and clearly can handle all the smoke that comes with giving his honest critique. Darius doesn’t have to “accidentally” spill lemonade on someone just because he doesn’t share the same opinion as them!

[@JayL51084]

Seems like a lot of these reviews are based off of how the place decides to stroke his ego, No other food reviewer will go out of their way to make sure a server knows they're being reviewed. The idea is to allow us to get a review and idea of a place based off of a blind experience. Hope you can adjust!

I didn’t think she was non challant. I actually thought she was kinda embarrassed. She may have been nervous being on camera which may have led to the drink spill. I also Think the recommendation to go check them out may be taken a disingenuous after the review.
