39 Best Seafood Restaurants in Annapolis

“Wonderful customer service. Our 2 year old decided to have a meltdown mid meal, which upset another patron, while we were outside calming her down the staff gathered a few books, stickers and crayons for her to play with when we sat back down. It was very thoughtful and helped to make the rest of our evening with family even more enjoyable. Thank you!“

“Lovely ,dark , hide away from the world. Drinks , food, service was awesome.Big Thank You to the Crew. Made Mark's Birthday fun. Well done!“

“Review from 9/20/23

While not a very traditional sushi place, it still has great food and a nice ambience. Outdoor seating was great at the time and our waitress Ms. Becca was wonderful.

Miso soup was pleasant and filling. The edamame was, well, edamame, but nonetheless a good opener. Avocado salad was a little dry and uninspiring, but the flavor was decent, especially in tandem with the pine nuts.

The star of the appetizers, however, was definitely the yomato's tofu, which is always my friends and families' go-to. It's a little sweet, very crispy on the outside, with the savory taste of bonito flakes and soy wrapping the dish together; it's very filling and shareable as well, and definitely my biggest suggestion.

We tried the Kamikaze, Metropolitan, and Miami rolls. Of them, the Kamikaze was just fine; however, we enjoyed the Miami rolls and the Metropolitan was our favorite.“

“Best restaurant 5stars and clean“

“We travel from Delaware just for the crab cakes and atmosphere!! The crab cakes are arguably the best around.

Riley was our server and she was fantastic.

We will be back next month (or sooner) for our monthly brunch/lunch and beverage!!“

“I made a last-minute decision to spend the weekend in Annapolis and was just looking for a good dinner spot close to my hotel. Stoney River ended up being a great choice! It’s attached to the mall, so parking can be a little tricky depending on the time and day, but it wasn’t too bad when I went.

I was dining solo and walked right in to find plenty of open bar seating. The bar staff was super pleasant, the area was clean, and the vibe was laid-back and welcoming. They also had a solid drink selection, which is always a plus.

I started with the steak egg rolls appetizer, which came out fast and was a lot more food than I expected (not a bad thing!). For dinner, I went with the filet Oscar and a wedge salad. I always order my steak medium rare and they nailed the temp—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Oscar style was definitely the right call. The wedge salad was okay, but the blue cheese was a bit heavy for my taste.

All in all, it was a really good solo dining experience. Great service, good food, and a relaxing atmosphere. My total with two drinks, appetizer, and dinner was just over $100—not bad at all for the quality. I’d definitely come back, whether solo again or with company next time.“

“Always a great experience whether I am eating there or taking it home.“

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

“Excellent crabs! Great!!!“

“My husband and I spent our 15th wedding anniversary, enjoying the atmosphere, delicious cocktails, fresh oysters, and delicious meal at SEASALT! The staff were so friendly and very accommodating when making a reservation! Planning on returning this weekend!“

“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.“

“We hosted our family from multiple states and Europe for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day in the 18-Century Ballroom upstairs and could not be more pleased.

The GM was extremely accommodating and communicative. The event-day staff was professional and outgoing. The food was top notch. There were no surprises. The event went as planned, and I was complimented by practically every guest about how amazing the place, experience, and food was.

If you're looking for a unique experience for a catering event with a reasonable price tag....this is the place.“

“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!“

“This restaurant is excellent and underutilized. I felt as if I had the restaurant to myself, and the cook was my personal chef. I had a very large fillet of salmon with asparagus, and it was perfect! The beers were $5, so a little expensive, but I didn't mind because the food was delicious.“

“Amazing food and first class service“

“First time our family went to dinner there. Everyone had a wonderful time they especially like the hibachi.“

“The location and food is exceptional. My favorite is the Eastern Shore Cobb Salad with the champagne vinaigrette. I could eat that every day. Piled high with crab and seafood, so delicious.“

“The Annapolis Crab sandwich was really good! And we also tried the soft sell crab special sandwich and it was super crispy and nice !!! True crab meat with nice sauces and fries.
The service was great and fast. My only suggestion is that the bathrooms need some maintenance 🫣“

“Great food and drink, with live music on weekends!“

“A truly special place to eat with a wide selection of food and wines.“

“It is 1:47pm on Thanksgiving Day, and my mother and I saunter in 17 minutes late for our reservation and my *beloved* mother points at the exact table she decides she wants. By the fireplace.
🤦🏼‍♀️
To be fair: It's the exact table that I want, and she's a 70+year old cancer patient, so I let her go.
I'm so sorry, host boy. 👃🏻 I know you're doing the best you can.
I mess with the host boy and tell him we're a party of 8. He doesn't bat an eye and is about to figure out how to make a party of 8 happen when I tell him I'm kidding and apologize.
We get seated at *my Mom's desired table,* and I look around, and realize our poor server has been *at least* triple sat. I tell my Mom it's gonna be a minute before we get our iced teas, but the support kid filled our waters; and not gonna lie, kiddo is not only on top of things, but also above-average eye candy.
Don't tell my Mom I said that.
We get our soups - Oyster Stew - rich and river-y (if you know, you know). Five oysters in each crock, and our server even found us *the right* crackers. Seriously - Give Frisco a raise.
Our turkey dinners were fantastic and the sides were even better.
We took our dessert to go.
This was the best Thanksgiving I've had with my mom in a long time. Thank you for making that possible.“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“Todo está muy rico 😋 lo recomiendo 💯“

“Yum, great service and great atmosphere“

“Aztk Foodtruck recently cooked the food for a wine paring dinner at Crescent Wine and Spirits. It was a four-course small plate dinner pair with Sposato Wine. My favorite was the Salmon Tartare, but everything was delicious. I would definitely call on them to cater an occasion.“

“Awesome place,great choice of food. And our waiter tonight, Gus Z was awesome! We stop here everytime we're in town.“

“Always great food and a wonderful atmosphere. We come here frequently for the Wednesday networking event and the entire staff is always so friendly.“

“Excellent food, great service, and LOTS of bacon! what more can you ask for?“

“Excellent hospitality and food!!“

“Level is our favorite spot in Annapolis! It’s perfect for a romantic date night or for a casual dinner, you can truly dress up or down and fit in here. The food is always amazing, even our family (who can be tough critics) were very happy with their food choices. The menu rotates a little seasonally and it’s always fun to try the new items and revisit the permanent items. The cocktails are super creative and you can’t really go wrong with any of them! Some of our current favorites: Harvest Mule, Agave Please for drinks and for food… house fries, tuna poke, ribs, brussel sprouts, and the oysters! Crab Mac and cheese is a must if it’s on the menu! Oh and don’t forget to leave room for dessert, we love all the choices but banana bread pudding is our favorite! 11/10 love coming here.“

“I love this place ♥️🔥 The food was really good & the cheddar cheese biscuits are amazing ‼️ The speed of service was incredible being as though they were super busy tonight ‼️I was really impressed 👍🏾“

“Everything we have ever had there is delicious!! From their raw oysters & steamed clams to their juicy & stacked pit beef sandwiches and reubens to their golden brown delicious fried chicken to all their awesome crab deals~ they have something for everyone.
