Restaurante Tio Pepe Baltimore Reviews from The Last Year
Went here for dinner before a performance at the church
Went here for dinner before a performance at the church across the street. Dinner reservations were made ahead of time for 2 hours before showtime. We were seated promptly but it took 30 minutes before our drink orders were taken. The ambiance was nice as it is an intimate setting and this particular night it wasn't crowded. By the time our first server came for our drink order we knew what we wanted to eat but our food order wasn't taken at that time.I ordered the sangria and man did it pack a punch. It was the strongest sangria I have ever tasted and switched to a beer afterwards. We then had another server come to take our food order. We ordered the paella for two. When we finally got the paella the rice was properly cooked but all of the proteins were dry. While we were eating I ordered a beer and it came out at room temperature. We then had a third server come to the table. I asked if I could get a cold beer and when he took the warm one, he never came back. All in, the dinner took 1:45 for two of us to have paella and two drinks. Thankfully the show we were going to see was across the street. I went here on a recommendation but I won't be going back. Service and food were subpar.
OMG what has happened to this Iconic Baltimore Top
OMG what has happened to this Iconic Baltimore Top restaurant! I remember how famous it was throughout college and while working at the hospital. I was lucky enough to have eaten there when our lab would treat us to lunch there. The food was exceptional and service was second to none. Over the years I remember when you could only make reservations as much as a month in advance. Last 2 school years, my daughter's Spanish class had their class field trip at Tio Pepe's and I chaperoned. Last year the food was okay, nothing spectacular. The paella was just okay. I've had better paella at other places. The Flan was Meh, and the salad was just salad soaked in plain vinegar with no flavor. This year it was just horrible. The shrimp, mussels and clams were way over cooked and dried up. The chicken cubes were like chicken jerky cubes. If I wanted to eat Jerky, I would have just gone to Cabela's and bought a bag of Jerky and it would have tasted better. I am no Chef, but, I suspect that the used leftover seafood and chicken from previous days, dried up in the refrigerator, added new yellow rice and served it. The rice was moist and fresh, so there's no way the seafood and chicken were over cooked and dried up if they were cooked at the same time as the rice. The servers were obviously not happy. Probably because they are usually not open for lunch? And we're asked to come into work to serve kids. One of the kids who dressed up in a suit for this field trip enthusiastically asked one of the veteran servers as he walked by - " excuse me sir, how many Michelin Star is this restaurant? The server turn his head angrily to the kid and snapped - "be patient, you wait your turn!!!" I was sitting diagonally at the same table and I could not believe what just happened. I wanted to get up and say something but I decided not to cause a scene because the teacher worked so hard to put this fies trip together for the kids. Needless to say, I will suggest to the teacher to find another Spanish restaurant for next year! The ambience - the restaurant smells like mold. I guess it has been there for so many decades, it definitely needs a good cleaning or even a remodel. Imagine going out, dressed up to a gourmet dinner and enjoying the smell of mold while you eat? Goodbye, Tio Pepe, it's been nice knowing you over the years but it is obvious that it's time to go!
This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend.
So we were excited and got a reservation this week. To my delight, the menu offered Spanish selections, Andalusian, Valencian, Sevillian. Of course, my first thought was Paella, this is definitely the Dish that a Spanish restaurant has to get right, or it should be one of its signature dishes. I decided to try a few other items and return for the Paella. I ordered Sopa de mariscos (seafood soup, my wife has the Seafood Bisque). The Sopa was overwhelmingly salted and may have been sitting for some time. I could not really taste the clams or mussels and the scallops were bland. My wife said her bisque was cold, but I did taste it and it was flavorful but cold. For my entree, I ordered the Pato a la Naranja (Orange Duck) with Saffron rice. My wife ordered Tournedos Tio Pepe (Medallios Steaks in Sherry Sauce with mushrooms) My my entree was well plated however, the Duck was overcooked, dry and bland. The resulting sauce was oily. I tried to mix the sauce with the Saffron rice, but the oil was overpowering. After two or three bites I was done. My wife's entree was cooked properly and tender but she was underwhelmed. I tasted it and it was not bad, just ok. I noticed they the Paella was a plate of seafood that was combined tableside by the servers with a plate of saffron flavored rice. Not a traditional paella in a Paellera, or Paella Pan. So it had no sticky soccarat on the bottom. It did not look appealing. I may return in a few months and give it another try, and update this review. Who knows, maybe the Chef or kitchen had a bad day?
It was not the Tio's I am used to! Very unusual for
It was not the Tio's I am used to! Very unusual for restaurant to be half empty on a weekend. The service was off. Waiter actually walked away without everyone's order. Sangria was different tasting. Not as sweet. An appetizer order was messed up. Soups were cold and sent back. Filet was overcooked for one person. House wine was rancid. Don't think we will be back anytime soon!
The food is really good!! The service is also satisfactory.
It was just a little too crowded for a Thursday night
Been coming here for many years and this is the first time
Been coming here for many years and this is the first time I have been disappointed. They were out of potato puffs - how can you be out of potatoes. They were also out of lobster - really? The mushroom on toast appetizer was very disappointing. Toast was sort of like cardboard. Portions were significantly smaller. For 20 years, this was my Favorite Restaurant! Now I don't even know if I will go back. VERY upset - is this the end or just a bad night. Do I want to spend big money to go back and be disappointed again?
Amazing food with brilliant staff.
A very fun and authentic restaurant for a special night out.
*Discriminatory experience
I sent this to the restaurant previously asking for a response but as I did not receive one I am posting to help other customers. As a long time patron of Tio Pepe's my partner and I looked forward to our first Valentines's Day out to eat since the pandemic. Tio Pepe's had helped use celebrate every anniversary and special day for 2 decades with a special meal. We made our reservations for 5:30 and were warmly greeted when we arrived. We were sat immediately and when our friendly waiter came and poured our sangria I told him I was excited to order the paella. I told him I was pescatarian and asked for the delicious seafood paella which I ordered every time I was there. He took the order, told us it would take 30 min for the paella and we said that was fine. We enjoyed our sangria and enjoyed our appetizers. 15 min later the waiter returned to tell us he was very sorry but they couldn't make seafood paella. This negatively affected my partner and I because we were both going to eat the paella. I couldn't eat meat so therefore neither of us could eat what we had come for. I was understandably disappointed but gracious and asked if I could have the rockfish please. He said yes. While it lowered my standard of satisfaction to have to eat something I didn't want I tried to enjoy the evening. Then things took a turn for the worse. When we finished our meal, the paella still appeared on the check along with both entrees we ordered. I called the waiter over and asked him to please check the bill. He changed it after a few minutes. Then, on my way out I was surprised to see a family member getting her coat. She had been sitting with a Baltimore celebrity table in the other room. I saw she had the signature tin foil wrapped bird for carry out and she said it was seafood Paella. I asked her how she had ordered this when I was told they weren't making it. She shared that she "bribed the cook with candy" I could feel the anger and hurt rise in my body. My relative and I were both kind individuals who had dietary restrictions on what we could eat, but what? because I wasn't sitting with a group of celebrities or wasn't willing to bribe someone I wasn't allowed to eat one of the few things I enjoy most and was denied that but had to argue for it to be removed from the receipt? Simply stated, that is discriminatory and poor customer treatment. I felt hurt and offended. I won't bribe someone for something I should be able to rightfully receive. Either the seafood paella should be offered to everyone or no one. Special cases which exclude some from others is not acceptable and is offensive and discriminatory. I have been upset about this ever since our night out and can't understand why this happened.
Terrible experience.
Waited an hour and 45 minutes to get our food. Two of us ordered the Mediterranean salad and the shrimp was raw. Sent it back, but it wasn't better. The manager told me he comped 2 desserts, and I responded that wasn't helpful. He said "you will be fine" meaning had I eaten the shrimp. So they charged us for the inedible salad and sent over the $10 dessert.
This is the best restaurant on the east coast.
I have been going there since 1970. I have never had a bad meal. My mom is from Venezuela she was friends with the original owner. The Paella is as good if not better than my mom's. The sauce they use on their fish is awesome if you put it over cardboard it would taste amazing. Everything there is off the hooks. Highly recommend this place. Mel ,Miguel, Oscar, and the staff are totally awesome.
I've been coming here for special occasions since I was a
I've been coming here for special occasions since I was a kid. I even got engaged here. The ambiance is still great, but the food is just not the same as it used to be. Not sure if there is a new chef or new owners, but we weren't impressed with our experience a few nights ago. They were also out of 4 of the dishes we planned to order and the waiter was pushing us to order on the spot after telling us they didn't have what we wanted. It would have been nice to have a heads up as to what they were out of before deciding what to order. Our dinner also felt rushed which was unusual for here. Dinners were coming out as appetizers were being cleared. With the exception of two of our 6 meals and appetizers the food was just ok. The pine nut cake is still amazing! The chocolate cake was inedible and stale. My mother said the last time she was in the food didn't taste the same as it used to. I checked in with my brother and sister, who also come here when they're in Baltimore and both said the last few times they've been disappointed as well. Sadly, I don't think we'll be back.
4 of us went saturday night and had the worst meal I had in
4 of us went saturday night and had the worst meal I had in a long time.First of all we were crammed into our table with no room to move. The waiter was horrible rushing us with the order and non attentive. We ordered mussels and they were out of them then we ordered potatoe puffs and out again. The garlic shrimp was luke warm and then out came the $55 dover sole which was horrible. when we we ordered coffee and hot tea they both were luke warm. when we left the manager asked how was our meal in which we told him and his response was oh so sorry. We will never go back, too many good restaurants in baltimore, Steve
The best food I have ever had (aside from my own cooking
The best food I have ever had (aside from my own cooking lol). The staff all works so well together to supply a wonderful experience for the patrons. It does get busy in there, and there's a very good reason for that: EVERYTHING!!! The atmosphere is like Old City, the food is real, tasty, exquisite and is made from fresh-tasting ingredients not from here (definitely must be imported from Spain), so fresh and so accommodating. I loved the different colored uniforms of the wait staff and thanks for Melba for switching our seats with ease. I had the silver salmon appetizer, the fillet mignon for entree, and the creme brulee with espresso de brandy for desert. And I can not forget the sangria rojo. I will be going again. But make sure you make reservations
Great food, atmosphere and service.
Always glad to eat there. Long time Baltimore favorite
I love this place!
One of my all-time favorite restaurants -- anywhere! Food is always great -- can't wait to go back soon!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
