My husband and I only dined for breakfast for three mornings. DELICIOUS , every day!! Not like your usual 4.5 to 5 star hotels! The staff was friendly and attentive . B.

Overall experience is ok, service is great and attentive, but some of the food elements have room for improvement. Not sure what audience they are cooking for but the dishes generally lacked seasoning, not just salt. The dishes we thought were ok included the Lamb Tartare and Maryland Crab cake apps. The Squid Ink Campanelle was the best dish of the night; was flavorful, unique, and well made. The seared Duck Breast was disappointing particularly the sauce. The two deserts weren't worth had were the Apple bread pudding and a chocolate dish I don't remember the name of. Both weren't worth the calories unfortunately with elements of each using too much gelatin/xanthan as thickening that wasn't super enjoyable. The environment is nice, service good, and the prices, though aren't cheap, didn't make it feel like we didn't get what we paid for. Just didn't impress our pallets enough to endorse or want to go back with so many other options out there.

Waiter was good. But we didn't know about after a certain time, you can't have a table in the main restaurant, they took us to the bar area

The presentation and portions suggest a Michelin-inspired approach, but unfortunately, the flavors don't quite deliver on that promise. The soft shell crab was overly salted, and overall, the food sounded better on the menu than it tasted. Service was polite but lacked warmth, and the atmosphere felt a bit off for a full dinner experience—though the bar area had great energy. I'd recommend it more for drinks and light bites than a full meal.

Our waiter knew his stuff! The food was great! Try their oyster Trio, it was exquisite. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the place was just nice overall. Super cute in there.

Breakfast and brunch was wonderful thanks to Sandra and Nato. They were so kind and welcoming, the kind of people who make you feel at home the moment you sit down. They paid attention to every detail, kept our coffee warm, our water full, and made sure everything was just right. Their warmth and smiles truly made the morning feel special.

Thanks to my daughter's kindness and consideration, I was able to spend my daughter's birthday with happy memories. Thank you.
Food was beautifully crafted and elegant without being rich and fussy. My daughter said the duck was the best she'd had. Prices reasonable for the qualify food - drinks a bit pricey good. Service exceptional and ambiance lovely. Will go back

My experience was 10/10! I enjoyed everything about this restaurant! This customer service was impeccable, not just from our waiter, but the the entire team was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend the soft crab sandwich.

Stopped by Estuary after a partner reception for a drink and some light snacks, and I’m glad I did. It’s a beautiful space with a great atmosphere. It's perfect for a late night drink or two with friends. The bar itself is really lovely, and the whole vibe makes it an easy spot to have fun with. I only tried drinks and a few small bites this time but I definitely plan to come back for dinner. This could definitely be a regular stop.

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant set in the heart of the Conrad Hotel. Super attentive service complimented the well presented and delicious food. The chicken was cooked to perfection and roasted garlic and potatoes were a perfect accompaniment. The off-menu date and fig rolls were very well done and the compound butter that came with worked in tandem. Excellent selection of drinks as well, with the opportunity to taste when ordering by the glass - rare in my experience.
It is pricy, but the quality of the food, service, and location matches the price and was faultless.
Pinned for future return.

Business dinner. Our experience was delightful. Pea soup, crab cakes, tomato salad, duke breast were all cooked to perfection and the wait staff was attentive and pleasant. Really delicious meal.
