The Maryland restaurant named among the nation’s best is Ammoora, located in The Ritz-Carlton Residences, 751 Key Highway in Baltimore. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 5 to 10 p.m.

Known for its Syrian food, here's how the restaurant describes itself: "Indulge in the art of sophisticated dining at Ammoora, where we invite you to discover the charm of our alluring culinary offerings across multiple dining areas.
