The owners of popular Remington restaurant and bar
the Dizz have opened a second location in Hampden.
The Dizz Grandview opened Sept. 15 on the 15th floor of a high rise for senior citizens.
And next door to their original location at 300 W. 30th St., the restaurant now has more space to sell T-shirts blazoning the TV show starring neighborhood baker Duff Goldman.
The 76-seat restaurant currently serves lunch and dinner. By mid-October, it will begin serving breakfast � as well as alcohol, the Dizz Manager Elaine Stevens says. For now, the
Hampden restaurant is BYOB. Stevens says she expects to get a liquor license next month.
Surrounded by glass, the restaurant at 3838 Roland Ave. offers diners a view of Baltimore City that will hopefully be its main attraction, Stevens says.
"The view is beautiful," she says. "That's what's going to sell the place. It's a nice little spot."
The restaurant's menu is the same as the Remington location. That includes steaks, seafood, sandwiches, and burgers.
The Dizz' owners (Stevens' brother and his wife) chose the location hoping to attract the young professionals in Hampden and the older residents in the building.
Stevens hopes to get customers from Remington on busy nights when the wait to snag a table at the original location can be as long as 90 minutes.
Folks who are waiting now have a place to buy "Ace of Cakes" paraphernalia, including T-shirts, mugs, and water bottles. The Dizz was selling more than 200 "Ace of Cakes" T-shirts � at $25 a pop � per month, prompting the owners to open a separate gift shop next door. The store will also sell jewelry, photography, and paintings by local artists who frequently dine at the Dizz. Sports fans can also get gear supporting the Baltimore Orioles and the Ravens.
