The decor is one of a kind. Unique menu offerings like captain crunch milkshake. The art museum is right around the corner. I always recommend anyone coming to Baltimore for the first time visit this place for the sight alone. They now have two locations and I’ve eaten at both. I prefer the one located down the street from the art museum because of the unique style of the location. The other one is a standard row house conversion and it was a long wait to get seated and seating was super tight, like if you turn around you will hit someone. The location by the art museum is more open seating. It’s still tight but not claustrophobic like the other one. The menu selection at both are always good as well as the food.

I am visiting family that live locally. I was promised I would love The PaperMoon.
What an experience! Decore I could have looked at all day, food I could have eaten all day. PaperMoon did not disappoint.

I had the shrimp and grits and they were phenomenal! The sauce was a nice vegetable puree and there was a good portion of shrimp. Some of the omlettes are good as well such as the Hampden Omlette. Whatever you choose is typically good. The servers are friendly quick and attentive.
