CANTON. Located on Canton Square, this classic seafood features a downstairs bar and an attractive dining room, flanked with red decor and a fireplace, above. Highlighting the menu are the raw bar and tasty seafood platters, available with crab cakes, lobster, shrimp or scallops. For landlubbers, filet mignon, wrapped in bacon, or encrusted in blue cheese, is difficult to top. A wide variety of sandwiches also available.

INNER HARBOR. This beloved chain of steakhouses bills itself as "Home of Serious Steaks," and a single visit will tell you that's more than a marketing slogan. The steaks, known for their sizzle, get that characteristic sputter thanks to a dollop of butter dropped on the broiler-hot cuts. Not for calorie-counters but for true steak lovers, Ruth's Chris is also known for great service, an extensive wine list, and an atmosphere of comfortable elegance. Reservations recommended.

DOWNTOWN. Eclectic and fun, this restaurant takes French and Continental dishes and gives them an innovative update. Guests must have a reservation and ring the doorbell (don't try the door – there's no handle) before they can enter the confines of this quirky, quiet local favorite. They decor is something to behold, with a tin ceiling, eccentric art and remnants left over from the establishment's stint as a speakeasy during Prohibition. Menu options include the consistently popular bouillabaisse, tender blackened lamb with zesty mustard cream, and an ever-changing array of fabulous desserts. Reservations required.

OWINGS MILLS. One of Baltimore's finest eating establishments, this is a masculine, club-like setting for power meetings or special occasions, and the New American cuisine never disappoints. Tournedos of barbecued tuna with fried oysters and country ham, and venison served alongside orange-infused wild rice are two uniquely satisfying and beautifully presented options. The sophisticated dining room and the popular bar are great places to see and be seen, and a counter near the kitchen is perfect for people who are dining alone. Reservations recommended.

INNER HARBOR. This contemporary restaurant has a solid reputation for its delicious specialty – cheesecake! The menu offers everything from appetizers to steaks to Sunday brunch, and the dessert list always includes at least 40 items, so every sweet tooth is sure to be satisfied. If you can't decide between two cheesecakes, simply compromise: Eat one, and take one home to savor later. The restaurant gets added flair with harbor views and an outdoor patio.

FELLS POINT. An authentic Greek taverna, locals say this is one of Baltimore's culinary hotspots.

The lamb gets raves, as does the eclectic wine list and the fresh baked bread. Reservations required.
