“Sooo good!! Seen reviews online about the crab cake so we went and tried it and we’re not disappointed!! The crab cake was so good and so were our sides, the mashed potatoes and veggies. Also had to try the crab and spinach artichoke dip!! Sooo good!! Can’t wait to come back!! Our server at the bar was also super friendly and attentive!“

“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!“

“Excellent crabs! Great!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“I just want to shout out our amazing waitress Nicole ! She was amazing and so kind ! You could tell she cares about what she does and works hard ! Please request her on Saturday nights you won’t regret it ! Also the food was bomb 😂“

“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!“

“Great food and the service was amazing. They have an interesting mix between Venezuelan and Spanish tapas. I recomend the cheese arepa, pastelitos andinos , and the tostones they are full of flavor. If your looking for authentic and unique dishes this is the place!“

“Dry Dock is a true guilty pleasure, I love sneaking over here for a big meal in the morning. Nice atmosphere for sitting down and enjoying. Skip the salad and go straight for the Dry Dock wings baby. One way train to flavor town! Got my waistline spreading faster than rumors!“

“We came to Annapolis specifically to have steamed blue crab, but on day one of three, after navigating the 495 Beltway, we were tired and hangry.

We chilled with a glass of Pinot Grigio served by Carlos at the bar.

Then we reluctantly opted to eat at our Doubletree hotel, Ports of Call. Wow were we glad we decided to stay in.

Our veggie crab soup was so tasty, and where restaurants usually over-salt, this one was perfect.

Then there were the crab cakes with a tad of our no-no Canola mayo, we succumbed because it was mostly amazing lump crabmeat. It’s our rule and ours to break!

My lump crabmeat appetizer was layered with avocado and mango with wasabi drizzle and was outstanding. I want it every day! I’m not kidding.

Even my small garden salad with balsamic and olive oil on the side was fresh and garden good.

Our server Craig listened, reported answers to all of our oil questions, and even brought me warmed rolls since I wouldn’t go so far as eating crackers which were likely laced with “vegetable” oil. It IS our rule, and we can’t break it for crackers.

Our second night Rodger cheerfully served us, even introducing Chef Jeff, who assured me no veggie oils and all butter. His rockfish Imperial featured tender fish topped with crabmeat and his amazing all-butter remoulade with sides of creamy garlic mash and asparagus. So good I can’t see why there isn’t a wait line to enjoy this very caring gifted chef’s culinary delights.

The disco and pop rock offered enhanced ambiance and we were even tempted to do Al fresco patio seating but stayed comfy in our booth

Dinner 3, why not, it’s that good, was the creamy crab soup (a bit salty), and the oysters Rockefeller, which I last had at Bookbinders in Philadelphia. Chef Jeff did it again and surpassed my expectations, making these less salty than some—maybe still a tad too salty, but cut by a generous wedge of lemon. And speaking of generous, FIVE oysters filled to the top with spinach and buttered breadcrumbs.

Rodger again was superb serving with attentiveness.

My two breakfasts were for Doubletree’s delicious yogurt parfaits—day one with sweet Kim and day two with Julie, who went over the top to serve and make sure everything was perfectly to my liking.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be dining here again whenever we’re in Annapolis.“

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

“Tsunami was a really good spot for dinner and drinks in Annapolis. We tried several small plates, including edamame, kimchi tacos, pork belly, and scallops. We enjoyed everything, but the kimchi tacos were the standout and definitely something I’d order again.

Service was good, and the atmosphere made it a comfortable place to eat, relax, and hang out for a few drinks. Overall, a solid Annapolis spot and one I’d go back to.“

“Hidden gem on Tuesdays for the BEST burgers!!! 🍔 Sooooo good!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing ambiance and great service on Thanksgiving. Restaurant has great views of the water and the food is presented very well. Most likely will return for a seafood dinner as everything looks very fresh.“

“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 was our first time at Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill, and I’m so glad we decided to give it a try! My husband is a big steak lover, so while we were in the area, I looked up a steakhouse and Resy suggested this place.

We were welcomed right away by the hostess, and our server was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was really nice and comfortable. The food was great! My husband had the Cowboy Prime Rib and I had the Lamb Chops, and both were cooked perfectly to our liking. The appetizer was delicious, and of course, we had to try dessert too—and it did not disappoint!

We really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back.“

“Best restaurant 5stars and clean“

“Yum, great service and great atmosphere“

“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.“

“We were seated in the quiet room which was not. Already disappointed and our waitress Sam knew, without asking, she got approval from the manager to move us to the top floor dining area - all to ourselves. Rockfish and sea bass entrees were delicious. Sam was an attentive and friendly server. Her recommendations were spot on.“

“the food is amazing. I will be back!“

“Really great spot to eat and enjoy the view. The food was fantastic, the server was great. We had Oysters Rockefeller, wings, a grilled chicken sandwich, and a crab cake sandwich, which all were excellent. I'm so glad we took the time to visit this great place.“

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

“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.“

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

“The smash burger are the absolute best. And on Mondays there a few dollars off wich makes them even better.“

“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 👍🏾“

“Ordered the tray of General Tso chicken and 1 other entree and 2 orders of eggrolls, everything was absolutely cooked perfectly and this is the best General Tso Chicken I've ever had.. Eggrolls made perfect. House/Combination Chow Mei Fun is Delicious!!! 10/10!!

THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST CHINESE PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN TOO HANDS DOWN..

Last but certainly not least, FAST DELIVERY and the staff are very polite and respectful. Love this place.“

“My wife and I chose Cafe Normandie to celebrate our 54th anniversary, and we are so glad we did! We feasted on the fabulous Chateau Briand expertly prepared and elegantly served by our wonderful waitress Giselle. This was not just a meal, but a culinary event for us. The food, the French decor, the background music and excellent service combined to make this a very, special experience! We will definitely be back!“
