Are you aching for an excuse to dress up a little? You’re in luck. The Brass Elephant was just voted “the best place in Baltimore to wear a slinky black dress” by Baltimore Magazine. Opulent touches like Tiffany skylights, chandeliers, and two floors of drawing rooms will make you feel like royalty.

Food here is beautifully presented and lovingly served. Try the escargot with Galliano sauce or the duck breast with sweet potato and confit ravioli. Don’t forget to sample from a wine list that has received attention for winning the DiRoNa Award and the Wine Spectator Award and finish in the more casual Tusk Lounge. At the Brass Elephant, there’s no excuse to let that little black dress sit in your closet any longer.
