 Named for the legendary Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) railway line, and located in said railway’s landmark Beaux-Arts headquarters, the B&O American Brasserie looks just as it should: masculine and understatedly sophisticated. Think faux-crocodile walls, rich burgundy accents, and design elements based on vintage dining cars and Golden Age railway terminals. You may even luck into a train-oriented film showing on the big-screen TV. There’s more than atmosphere and nostalgia on tap, though; the upscale comfort menu is topnotch, with eco-friendly ingredients sourced from local produce markets and boutique-scale farms. Chef Thomas Dunklin’s dishes are both hearty and elegant; signature choices include rockfish with pumpkin seed “risotto,” short ribs with fingerling sweet potatoes, and braised lamb shank with potato-parsnip gratin. Sharable small plates, flatbread pizzas and charcuterie are also part of the mix, and potables are a big deal here; bartender Brendan Dorr, formerly of Ixia, is a top Baltimore mixologist.
