This is less of a review and more of a friendly reminder to myself that I should've written a review about Woodberry Kitchen a very long time ago.  So, a little over a year ago I moved back to the MD-DC-VA area from New York City and for someone who loves food, I was slightly disappointed about the prospects of finding really good food all the time in this area (well, at least relative to NYC).  So, flash back a year or so and I was still in my, admittedly, NYC foodie snob phase but my birthday was coming up so my family and I went to Woodberry Kitchen which had gotten rave reviews from those [INSERT CITY NAME] Magazines which all just seem like one big advertisement and should be taken with a grain of salt.  So, my expectation was that the food would be okay but not spectacular.

Since I've moved back down to the NoVA-DC-MD area, I've been reticent to try restaurants in the Baltimore area in the expectation that I'd be disappointed since I was spoiled thoroughly by New York City. So far, I've been to Woodberry Kitchen and most recently Salt Tavern and have been greatly surprised.

I met up with a friend of mine here on a blustery Thursday night and I thought since it was located right in the heart of Old Town that it would be full of people and difficult to get a table.  That simply wasn't the case.  The space is big but deceptively big with its tall ceilings and wide open design.  But, with so few tables occupied on a Thursday, it looked massive.
