Big changes at Timothy Dean Bistro
Even though it's Crab Week, every once in awhile we have to take a break for some real news. Timothy Dean Bistro in Upper Fells Point is closing this week for renovations.
When it reopens next Friday the 13th (not that I'm superstitious, but it seems like a strange date to choose), it will no longer be a restaurant. The new name will be T. D. Lounge. ...
The place will have live jazz and what's being called a "new American-French 'recession proof' menu" with nothing over $20 on it. I asked if Dean would still be in the kitchen and was told for the time being.
My guess is he'll get it going and then move on to his new venture, another Timothy Dean Bistro that's supposed to be opening at National Harbor in Prince George's County in September.
T. D. Lounge will be open Friday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Sounds like a cool plan. B-more could use a few more sophisticated lounges like this. I never understood why someone doesn't try a place like that up on Charles st by the monument.

Gotta say, glad to hear they're renaming the place, if only if it means it'll get a new logo. I always read it "Timothy Bistro Dean".

Lounge? I'm probably showing my lack of sophistication and stuff, but, in this context, what is a lounge?
I'm guessing not the snack bar at a bowling alley or a hotel bar, right?
I'm thinking it means more drinking and less eating. EL

Yeah this place isn't that good. If I'm going to pay good money for food, I'd rather go someplace where I could pay $10 more and get a real dining experience. Another "lounge" - does just changing the name turn the same place into a lounge?
