This Is MD's 'Most Beautiful' Restaurant, New Ranking Says

MARYLAND — Ammoora is the most beautiful restaurant in Maryland, according to a new 50-state list from People Magazine.

People said the 50 Most Beautiful Restaurants in America list was developed by OpenTable in celebration of the magazine’s 50th anniversary.

“These super-stylish stunners deliver unforgettable dining experiences,” People said. “There are mountaintop chalets with modern rustic touches, glammed-up Art Deco mansions with a view, and mirror-and-glass paneled sky-high stunners.”

People said of Ammoora, located at 751 Key Hwy. in the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, "The opulent decor here celebrates Syria via ornate architecture with bold mosaics and dramatic archways."

Here's what the online restaurant reservation site OpenTable says of Ammoora: "Embracing the cultural beauty and diversity of its fare, Ammoora immerses guests in an intimate fine-dining experience composed in a contemporary culinary style. Presented and prepared with award-winning skill and finesse, the culinary journey through the Eastern Mediterranean offers unique interpretations of classic dishes. Drawing inspiration from Ammoora's family roots, the Syrian-focused authentically modern menu evokes a sensory experience, enhanced by soft, yet lively oriental music and an alluring ambience."

Restaurants in surrounding states that got the nod as the most beautiful are:

Delaware: Victoria’s in Rehoboth Beach. "Right on the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, this Victorian-styled American restaurant has a view of the Atlantic from every table."

New Jersey: Rat's Restaurant in Hamilton. "This romantic cafe on the artistic grounds of the 42-acre Grounds for Sculpture museum is inspired by The Wind in the Willows."

Pennsylvania: SkyHigh in Philadelphia. "A glass elevator ride to the 60th floor opens to waterfalls and 40-foot windows showing off stunning views of the city below."

Virginia: Lemaire in Richmond. "With stately marble columns, high ceilings, and hand-blown crystal chandeliers, this dining room is especially grand."
