    I stopped by this spot, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint! The food was good, flavorful, and fresh. Every bite had me wanting more. The drinks were good too—well-mixed, smooth, and just the right amount of kick. Definitely not watered down! And the music? Perfect vibe. It set the mood without being too loud or overwhelming. Overall, a solid experience. Would I come back? Absolutely.

    Interesting place. Sort of young vibe, but food was wonderful, delicious drinks, courteous stuff, pleasant interior. Music was a touch on a loud side, but for the most part not annoying. One of the rare places that is fun and delicious. Would love for them to invest in cappuccino machine…

    I do not recommend Twelve 21. Integrity and honesty are essential in running a business, and this place lacks both. We made a Valentine’s Day reservation based on their Instagram promotion: 1 appetizer, 2 entrées, 1 dessert, and a bottle of red wine or Prosecco for $120. When we arrived, they asked if we wanted to sit at the bar…despite having a reservation. After insisting on a table, we were seated and placed our order, choosing the bottle of Prosecco. That’s when the bait-and-switch began. The waitress immediately said the promotion only included 2 glasses, not a bottle. We pulled up their Instagram post, which was still live, and showed her. She claimed it was a mistake and said we could get the bottle for an additional $25. At that point it was clear they had no intentions on righting their wrong so we left. I don’t support deceptive marketing tactics, so we left. Thankfully, Ours across the street welcomed us, even on a busy holiday. Their food was great, and they didn’t resort to shady business practices. Twelve 21, you should be ashamed. On a day meant for love, you chose dishonesty to make a quick buck. Maybe an Ethics class would do you some good.

    Food is decent, a bit over priced for what they have, but it is Federal Hill after all. Bartenders are ok, I have been here many times over the last few years and it’s amazing to me that the bartenders can’t make a simple mojito. My husband tries every time and every time it’s gross and he drinks it and doesn’t order another drink after that. The bartenders are very hit or miss. Each time I come I’m a little more disappointed. Not sure if I’ll still come here. They add an automatic gratuity, so I think that’s why the service is sub par. I also think that it annoys them when you don’t do hookah. I’m a drinker , I don’t do hookah, but because the waitress is not attentive, I never end up having more than 1 or 2 drinks.

    We made reservations for 10 o’clock when we got there they told us that they did not have any tables like if we didn’t book a reservation and they had tables upstairs not downstairs. It wasn’t like if she looked inside and said oh yes, we have some people finishing up. She just made us feel like we were walking customers and didn’t apologize that there wasn’t any tables available for our reservation time. I can understand waiting a little bit but just flat out being towed, do you wanna go upstairs instead is down right wrong make a reservation or say that you have spots available for that

    This was a nice place with a nice upbeat atmosphere for brunch. However, there was only one waitress on so unfortunately service was not at its best. The food was ok, the chicken and waffles were unfortunately dry and the steak egg rolls were mediocre. As a party of four, 2 of us received our food well before the others did and it was to the point t I had to seek out the waitress to ask where the rest was. They also forgot a side of bacon and when they sent it out it was burnt to a crisp! Even the waitress was embarrassed at the presentation. The best thing about the meal was the drinks and DJ. They could definitely use a course in hospitality and food service. I had high hopes for this place because it is nice and trendy
