CONGRATULATIONS to alizee bistro and wine bar in the Inn at The Colonnade. Chef Christian deLutis (& yes, we are pink in honor of BREAST CANCER and all CANCER SURVIVORS!) helped garner his team to a most rare 4-star review by Baltimore Sun Food critic Elizabeth Large. Christian has taken over the kitchen in spectacular form. We loved a recent visit beginning with a fabulous pinot noir paired with a bison burger and bistro fries and scallop appetizer. Also be sure to try the calamari with a sweet and spicy glaze, yum! Great job to all on the team, especially Alethea (from Dogwood), new GM Aleta, Daniel and Steve and Mark! You are a great group! www.citypeek.com/baltimore/dining
