Went to Sascha's for restaurant week. Great food.

I loved Louisana when it first opened, but it seemed to go downhill after a few years. Not necessarily bad food, but not good enough for that kind of price point.

If it is back to its old self again, I'd love to hear it.

the food at sascha's has declined significantly. i would rate it a pedestrian eatery at best.

I wouldn't call Louisana a hidden gem. I never ate at Louisana during it's heyday, but I can tell you that after a recent visit, I won't be going back. Food was just ok, and at the prices they charge, ok just isn't good enough.

Louisiana has been more of a piece of gravel out in the open these days. I think John Saki has been putting too much focus into his renovations of the Full Moon Saloon and the existing Louisiana space than on the quality of food and service. I think you don't hear much about Louisiana for a good reason.

I tend to think of Brewers Art as more of a hidden gem in the food department. I was, however, sad to see the wine special go from $12 to $15 recently. So sad... but I'm still going there!

This is a super secret hidden gem only for the adventurous:

Arizona in Upper Fells Point on Broadway. If you can make it past the regulars at the bar and grab a table quietly, order the tapas plate (minimum 2 people order). For less than $15, you get a huge plate full of South American tapas including, but nor limited to grilled octopus, ceviche, 2 cheeses, and an assortment of other items (too many to list). Pair it with the sangeria. BE warned. This food adventure is only for the brave; )

We went to Louisiana for dinner on Sunday night. Dinner was pretty good (not Charleston good) but we were there with only one other set of diners who left after an hour, leaving us the only people in the entire restaurant. We just felt terrible for the staff, but what a weird dining experience.
