I'm beginning to think there are no good restaurants in Baltimore.

Not true.

Good restaurants:

Charleston (expensive)
The Helmand (very good for the price, and Afghani cuisine is novel for most anyone in the U.S.)
Kali's Court
Soigne (very expensive for what you get IMO, but the food is good)
Petit Louis (a personal favorite)
Brasserie Tatin
Taste (a bit high priced)
Ixia (though the dishes are so out there sometimes you get the feeling they are trying too hard)
Brass Elephant
Brewer's Art (great deal for the money, plus good beer)
Saffron
Carlyle Club

None of those are Michelin star places, although Charleston comes close, and Petit Louis really makes you feel as if you are in a French brasserie (it is no coincidence that James Beard finalist Cindy Wolf runs both those places). Still, I expect a good meal every time I go to those places.


And I have not yet been to Black Olive, The Bicycle, Hampton Inn, or Salt (which I really need to go to), all of which get good reviews.
