1157 Kitchen - Baltimore

I can't praise this place enough. The menu, drinks, service, kitchen, and bartender knowledge are all outstanding! I'm absolutely in love with 1157.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at 1157 during my visit to Baltimore. I had a free evening and was on the lookout for a spot with excellent cocktails and delicious food. After doing some research, I discovered this place and drove over half an hour to get there. Unfortunately, after searching for parking for 15 minutes, I learned that the kitchen had closed just 10 minutes before I arrived! I was understandably upset and a bit hangry. I explained my situation to the bartender, who sympathized with me. She connected me with the chef, who kindly offered me the chance to order the Korean wings and curry Brussels, both of which I had planned to try. I happily accepted, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome! The Brussels were among the best I've ever tasted—crispy, perfectly seasoned, and served with an incredible sauce. The wings were nothing short of fantastic! They were super crunchy on the outside yet tender inside, with a lick-your-fingers kind of sauce. I paired it all with a Black Manhattan, and I can honestly say it was an unbeatable experience! I can't wait to return to the area and explore more of the menu!

The food, beer, and wine here are outstanding. I absolutely enjoy the braised rib sandwich and the kimchi sausage sandwich. I always make sure to order the cheese board as well!

If you appreciate great food, this is the place for you — you won't be disappointed! The staff is fantastic, providing excellent service and a creatively crafted menu.

This is the best meal I have had since living in South Baltimore. Intimate atmosphere with incredible drinks to compliment the very creative and well-executed menu. I will be back frequently.
