Our server was kind, courteous and professional and his timing was impeccable. He knew the menu well and offered insight on the menu items. Our party of four enjoyed each selection. The serving sizes were generous. We enjoyed a lovely evening with Oleum and will definitely be returning.

If I lived in Baltimore I would make this a regular dining place. FWIW: I rarely write reviews (I can't remember the last time I did), but this place was so good I'm moved to do it. TRY IT!

She also had great suggestions. The food quality was perfect, and very generous portions too. It would be a great place to take non-vegans--you simply can't argue with the deliciousness of the food. The *only* thing is, it's sort of hard to find. It's near the ice rink at the inner harbor--in a sort of indoor-mall like thing. (We're from out-of-town, maybe locals will find it easier!)

Our food took a very long time to get to our table - I assume because everything is made from scratch (we watched the cooks hard at work). We wouldn’t have minded, but we were with our toddler and it was a late evening. The food was steaming hot and delicious when it was delivered to our table. Our toddler enjoyed it as much as we did. We were also treated to an unexpected birthday treat - thank you! We will come back if we’re ever in Baltimore.

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food (especially the flatbread and pizza dough!) and that even your toddler had a great time. As this was our 6th week open and our busiest night yet, we truly appreciate your understanding with the wait—our scratch-made dishes do take a little extra time. We definitely welcome you back when you're in Baltimore again!
