When chef Daniel Chaustit took over the space formerly occupied by Taste --- which Baltimore long-timers remember as a popular shoe store --- he jettisoned his predecessor’s special-occasion vibe and replaced it with a versatile high-low menu. Fat burgers and classed-up BLTs are available, but so is such tempting dressier fare as jumbo lump crab cakes and tenderloin with truffled fingerling potato salad. The cooking doesn’t dazzle with its creativity, but impresses with its classic simplicity. Demi, a sister restaurant on Crush’s lower level, specializes in international small plates.

Can't Get a Sitter? Stay Home!
by Denise K on 11/07/2011
 
Great food and service ruined by a shrieking toddler and her clueless parents. Too bad, as my friend and I were looking forward to ending the week with a civilized dinner. We avoid chain restaurants for this reason. There's no law that prohibits restaurants from banning kids under a certain age. They might lose the kid-friendly crowd, but they'd earn the support of like minded adults who just want to dine in peace, and we order wine and desert... Got kids? Don't inflict them on the rest of us if they're still using a high chair, or have to be held in your lap. Mad
