Blue Dolphin menu prices featuring 144 items ranging from $2.95 to $46.95

From the moment I first stepped foot into Blue Dolphin, I knew I was in for a much more diverse culinary experience than just seafood. I mean sure, they're known for their seafood, but trust me, their menu reaches far beyond that. They've mastered a whole variety of comforting soups, filling salads, mouthwatering pasta and rice dishes, succulent chicken, tender veal, and oh boy – desserts to die for! Yeah, seafood may be their claim to fame, but never underestimate the luxury they can bring to your table with their oysters or lobster tails.

Blue Dolphin is open and inviting 7 days a week for both lunch and dinner. I loved the fact that every restaurant comes with a well-stocked bar, brimming with exciting cocktails and craft beers, serving from 11 am to 11 pm daily. It's been the perfect watering hole for my after-work hangouts.

BLUE DOLPHIN Menu Prices

Blue Dolphin has been nailing the restaurant game since 1975 and expanded slowly, but surely into multiple establishments around the good old Maryland area. I've always appreciated how the founders and owners Brian and Karen McCann made us feel at home through the warm, cozy environment they've created. Their menu, oh their menu! It's a stellar blend of modern American cuisine with a respectful nod to the classic styles and flavors that define Baltimore's cooking heritage.

So, when can you visit Blue Dolphin?

Blue Dolphin is at your service 7 days a week. I found it a tad confusing at first since their opening times do vary slightly. Usually, they open their doors from 11 am till 11 pm but keep it easygoing until around 11:30 pm on Saturdays. However, due to the impact of Covid-19 on the hospitality industry, many of their restaurants now close at 9 pm. To save yourself the surprise, it's better to check your nearest restaurant's Google profiles for the updated opening times.

Is Blue Dolphin on the "fancy" side?

Now, Blue Dolphin does have a classy touch, no doubt there. But don't worry, there's no strict dress code nor a stiff upper lip atmosphere. Brian and Karen managed to strike a balance between sophisticated and relaxed, without making anyone feel underdressed. That said, it's best not to show up bare chested and in sandals - it's a restaurant, not a beach!

What if you're not such a fan of seafood?

I get it not everyone is into seafood. Some prefer meat dishes, and luckily at Blue Dolphin, you're taken care of! With offerings ranging from an impressive Veal Cordon Bleu to a perfectly cooked New York Strip, they cater to all tastes and preferences. And oh, a personal favorite: their finger-lickin’ good baby back ribs!

How about Happy Hour?

Oh, yes, they definitely do have one! Now, let's keep our expectations real, you can't have your lobster tails half-price. However, they do offer quite a vibrant selection of seasonal cocktails, craft beers, and even half-priced wine (when you purchase a full bottle) that you can enjoy from 3 pm to 7 pm every workday.

Vegetarian at Blue Dolphin?

Definitely! I've seen many friends opt for their vegetarian options, which boast an array of authentic soups, salads, pasta, and of course, irresistible desserts. But if you're unsure about the details, don't hesitate to consult with your server about your dietary preferences and what the kitchen can whip up for you.

Bringing your kids along

Kids are welcome at Blue Dolphin within the restaurant area, but remember, this is a BAR plus grill, so there might be alcohol and tipsy adults around. So, parents or guardians should always supervise their munchkins. Although kid-friendly, they don't offer a kid's menu. It's up to your judgement if your child can handle the mature atmosphere.
