    The food was excellent. The waiter was patient and provided a suggestion - a platter with rice and several different meats. Our vegan diner had the Mezze dishes which were very good. And, did I say that the food was excellent, not to mention the fantastic baklava for dessert. It was a fantastic time for all of us and a very fair price. I need to come back again soon - and I really need to visit Turkey.

    All of the staff there was truly amazing. From Kassandra at the spa, to the pool manager Nick, to Hannah and Kyle. The fact that I remember all of their names after an entire day of being outside in a pumpkin patch with three kids, speaks volumes in itself. I had a wonderful time thanks to them. You guys are amazing!!

    A Hidden Gem in Baltimore's Speakeasy Scene I recently had the pleasure of visiting Top Shelf, a true hidden gem in Baltimore's speakeasy world. Despite not being able to indulge in alcohol during the month of January, I decided to treat my daughter for her birthday and we were not disappointed. Located inside the Game On Bar Arcade, Top Shelf offers an authentic speakeasy experience that is perfect for aficionados and newcomers alike. The cocktail selection was top-notch. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her French 75, while her boyfriend savored his old-fashioned. As for myself, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and creativity of the non-alcoholic honeycomb drink I ordered. The service was impeccable, with the mixologist demonstrating a deep knowledge of her craft and a genuine passion for mixology. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it the perfect spot to unwind and savor expertly crafted drinks. Overall, Top Shelf is a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Baltimore's vibrant speakeasy culture. Whether you're a seasoned speakeasy enthusiast or simply looking to explore a new experience, this establishment is sure to impress.
