“Tonight I dined with my friend and our server was Ryan. We have nothing but great things to say about him! He was very attentive and knew the menu very well and gave us great recommendations. We had the crab dip and then the mahi tacos and pasta for dinner. My friend didn't like the pasta but they had no issues with getting her a substitute. Overall amazing experience. The managers also checked on us multiple times. Great job Ryan and team!!“

“Todo está muy rico 😋 lo recomiendo 💯“

“I was there yesterday with my bestie after seeing her latest exhibit; just two older women who create. Lo a behold we found Nirvana. Perfect salads (amazingly fresh)., the best crab dip ever, with both baguette and sliced cukes to accommodate by wheat allergic friend. all followed by a terrific cappuccino and exquisite cheese cake. Such a cosy cafe atmosphere - the kind of place where you feel instantly at home yet with a dash of euro sophistication. Our server was totally, utterly lovely; friendly not overbearing, and super professional. In short - my new happy place!“

“Excellent meal with friendly and quick service. The Club, as expected, has nautical theme. Visit their website to view a menu and find the times the Club is opened for members only and available to the general public. If you are visiting the Academy, visit the Club for a meal or a drink at the bar.“

“We went tonight to the Annapolis MD restaurant and our service with Steven Brown was amazing! He was knowledgeable, caring, kind and went above and beyond for our dinner with Coopers Hawk. Both my husband and I shared the Bbq chicken chopped salad which was absolutely delicious. Steven thank you so much for the wonderful customer service!!!“

“Food was amazing. Very unique little spot. Cannot wait to return Our waitress Allie was sweet and attentive !!!“

“Great selection, good portions of food. Yummy dessert and ever flowing selections of beer. Oh did I mention great attentive service! First time we visited here to try something new and we will definitely visit again. Thank you 😊“

“The food tasted amazing! But sometimes the chicken is too hard and too over-cooked, though sometimes it taste amazing! I mostly like eating the Shrimp Cerole I recomend it for people who don't like the chicken! :DYea sure U have some tummy aches here and there but this is a fast food place, even I have some tummy aches. Also, you need to understand that it is really hard to make perfect chicken, so don't blame them, It's hard work staying there doing the best they can because I see them working hard everyday...when I stay late I see them get out Weary and tired...I hope u all understand how much work they put into it and some of the new recruits making the chicken that you eat, they try yall, they try their best so I hope u understand because looking to what the veiwers acually think of the place is making me really sad :/“

“The Alley restaurant at the Naval Academy provided a wonderful lunch in the middle of our self-guided tour, and it exceeded our expectations tremendously. Our waitress was so kind and caring for our family, and the crab cake was one of the best I've ever had. Don't miss it!“

“Everything about this place was great. Erin, the bartender was very personable and knowledgable about all aspects of the F and B service. Her attention to detail was inspiring. Her connection with her guests made each of us feel as though we were the only ones there. Rashaan , the Chef made some incredible good. It was clean and satisfying. When I asked Erin to give our compliments to the Chef he came out and personally thanked us. This was in the top 2 of hotel restaurants. Those two made it easy to love.“

“Wonderful establishment. Great wine selection and the pizza and bartending staff are awesome.“

“Best Halal you'll ever get!!! This was my first time at this location and this is now going to be the ONLY place I got for Halal... Extremely fresh and delicious. What a perfect meal!!

And fast delivery!!! Thank you all so much!“

“Delish Lobsta roll!!!! I’m hooked….. young man that waited on us was 5 star!“

“TGIF has been one of 2 go-to eating places any time I travel. Always love-me some whiskey glaze chicken strips!“

“Some of the best pizza we’ve had! Tried the Marissa and Traditional White and both were amazing. Cool atmosphere, but loud, so be prepared. Staff was very friendly.“

“I moved here last month and was told to come here for the games...great advice. chris behind the bar is so friendly and remembered my name my 3rd time in. gret place to hang out and food is great too!“

“I have been a patron at McGarvey's for years. I love your food and service. However, first time I have a complaint. I was anxious to try the crab balls, as pictured in your menu. Although they weren't horrible, they looked nothing like the picture on your menu, very disappointed. I expected pieces of white crab meat and we got very crusted, fried little round balls. I bragged to my grandson about the picture on your menu and it was certainly not what we got. I must say, it is the first thing I have been disappointed with. Either change the picture or take them off your menu.“

“Their food is very professionally prepared. It tastes great and I also like their health-conscious options.“

“Good food. Beer was cold. Perfect location. Nice people !“

“The food is delicious and affordable, the portions large, staff friendly and attentive. We had several chef specials including : bbq bacon wrapped shrimp, street corn soup and the spaghetti squash bowl. Everything we ate was yummy! I highly recommend you visit.“

“Great beer, good food, and always a good time! Forward never disappoints and is a great local spot!“

“First time there today. Atmosphere, food, and service were perfect!😊“

“My wife and I went out the other night. We had seen Dark Horse a few times while we were running errands. We came in about 10:00 on a Saturday night. Music was great right off the bat. Took a couple minutes to find a seat for both of us. Which shouldn't bother anybody because the crowded bar is usually a good bar. We met Pinky the owner. She and the other bartender were killing it. Pinky suggested the burger. I loved it. Nice draft choice along with bottles and cans. Plenty of good liquor including tequila! We can't wait for our next visit!“

“This place was great! We stayed in the rooms above which were really comfortable and we dined in the restaurant for lunch and had breakfast there. Highly recommend! It was also neat that they do the Pledge of Allegiance daily! The staff was also very friendly. Again, highly recommend!“

“Great food, especially for breakfast!“

“Great food. Friendly staff“

“We love the steaks, pancakes and milkshakes and everything else. Comfort foods“

“I’ve been coming here since they’ve opened and I haven’t been disappointed. Yeah, there are times just like any restaurant where things might not be perfect or what you’d expect. But since I am a chef and I’ve worked in several restaurants, the difference between how something is cooked one day can be a difference between who’s working that day. They do make some of the best pizzas around! They have a bar, game nights, special pizza nights, buy one get one on Tuesday and even Social nights where you can cook things in the kitchen. What I recommend about Neo Pizza? Everything! It’s a good restaurant, not too overpriced. A great place to hang, socialize, have a beer and enjoy good times with friends or family.“

“Love west end!! Only issue is it’s way too loud to ever order to go food. You get screamed at over the phone (not intentionally) and have to scream back for them to be able to hear you!! Maybe get an online service or something because you’re missing out on money and I’m missing out on the bomb food when I don’t feel like being around others“

“Best bar in town!! 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏“

“Incredible Maryland style crab cakes and crab soup, perhaps the best in all of downtown Annapolis. Many other great food choices too. It really is that good. Friendly service as well. Recommended!“

“ambiance. ✔️ drinks ✔️ food ✔️“

“Artaviap2022, stop it with the black thing and stop using your race as a crutch for everything that goes wrong in your life, as I'm sure you do! Just like the majority of your race. Im sick of it. Everything is a black thing with blacks! I'm white, and I have had the same bad experiences that you've mentioned in many restaurants! I guess it's all the fault of people of color! Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? So does what you've written! You are what's wrong with the racial problems in this country! People like you, who refuse to let go of history that happened when neither one of us was alive, yet, you're constantly looking for reparations for something that no one alive is responsible for. Just list your complaint, and leave the race out of it! People like you make me sick! It's people like you that make me dislike blacks, as that word was mentioned in your post! People of color don't typically drag the fact that they are people of color into a conversation! However, blacks make sure to say they are black when complaining about the perceived injustices that have happened to them! Just say what you have to say, and leave the fact that you're black out of the conversation! If you didn't like Buddy's, then just list your complaints and leave your race out of it! You should contact Black Lives Matter about your issue! Oooooops, I forgot, they ran off with your money and are nowhere to be found now!“
