Phillips Seafood is the first restaurant on the Inner Harbor coming off Pratt Street. It was cold and pouring buckets of rain so we went no further down the harbor. Entered to find a busy bar on the right side filled with Happy Hour guests doubling up before the specials ended. The hostess told us that there would be a 15 minute wait so we grabbed a drink at the bar. There was a guy playing music in the bar that was amazing. He was playing old standards from the Beatles, Monkeys, Rolling Stones and Neil Diamond to name a few. Song after song he was hitting it out of the park. We decided to sit at a table inside the bar and enjoy the music. Our waitress was a little local gal from the City. Brought us over some menus and we fired away with Oysters, Clams and Crab Cakes. When in Maryland we said, "eat local". Started with a half dozen Oysters and after one bite it turned into a few dozen. These babies were fresh and went down like candy. Ohh...how I wish we could get these in Hawaii. Last Oysters I had in Hawaii were pale and milky. Tasted like crap. These were the exact opposite. Fresh as the Sea and delicious. The Steamed Clams also did not disappoint. Large, meaty clams in a light broth. Could have eaten 10 dozen of these myself. The Crab Cakes were pretty basic. Not the "wow" factor taste I was expecting to have in Maryland. Not bad though. The best part of this dinner was listening to Bobby play songs. Whenever the audience requested an artist or song he played it. Nothing seemed to stump him. I requested something from Cheap Trick and he laughed. "One of my favorite bands" he said and then played a rendition of Surrender that was really good with just a guitar. Bobby was amazing. We spoke over a glass of wine after his set and he explained his musical history. Guy has played with dozens of the worlds greatest artists and bands. What a great time in Baltimore!
