We wrote
about this just before the holidays that Chef Voltaggio was close to opening
his Family Meal restaurant at the Harbor at the end of Pier 4 in the old
Houlihan’s space. It seems they are
ahead of schedule and opening their doors for lunch and dinner on Friday,
January 2nd. Come Monday add breakfast to their mix – they will be
open 7 days a week.
As stated in their press release, “Offering re-invented classic American diner fare, the first
location of the Family Meal concept opened in Frederick, MD. The 6,000
square-foot Baltimore restaurant, with additional outdoor dining space, will
serve Family Meal classics such as Hoecakes with Pimento Cheese, Maple Bacon Jam,
Pickle Relish; Shrimp & Grits; and Fried Chicken, as well as
regionally-influenced dishes like Lobster Risotto with English Peas, Maitake
Mushrooms, Parmesan; and a Soft Shell Crab Sandwich with John Cope’s Corn,
Tomato, Old Bay, and Bacon.”
“This restaurant is
all about family,” says Chef Voltaggio. “My wife, kids and I eat together at
Family Meal in Frederick, MD all the time, and I’m thrilled to bring a concept
that’s so personal to me to the families of Baltimore. Adults will love our
unique approach to classics that they may have grown up with, and kids go crazy
for items on our ‘Happy Campers’ section.”
Family
Meal, reiterates what is important, families dining together, sharing the
day-to-day joys and conquest along with a great meal.
This
is the second restaurant in Baltimore by Chef Bryan Voltaggio, the other is
Aggio at 614 Water Street - around the corner from Power Plant Live.
