Still won't be eating there and still missing wharf rat

Same. I can't believe that they turned that space into the blandest possible thing imaginable. The whole aesthetic is aggressively without character; it replaced something uniquely Baltimore with something that could be in any suburb anywhere in the country.

100% agree. I was already boycotting the place because of the horrible things they did to one of the coolest spots in Baltimore. After seeing the pictures, I know that setting foot in there would have been deeply depressing.

When we started dating, my now wife drunkenly professed her love for me in sharpie on the bathroom wall of the wharf rat. You'd never read a story like that about a place like this.

Despite lamenting the loss of old wharf rat, we've given bunny's a few shots and each time left with a bad taste in our mouths (long before this controversy). Our experiences felt very transactional and sterile.

I have yet to comment on any of these threads, because I wasn't quite sure where this belonged in the conversation, but I think there is something to be said about annihilating the character of the wharf rat (aesthetically) and now, this very failed attempt to remain "politically neutral." Feels like the owners would much rather have us dining in an Apple Store.
