“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 😂“

“The softshell crabs for so 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!“

“Carlos the bartender as amazing. So friendly and helpful, with fantastic food recommendations. We were there for a conference and came back to the hotel 15 minutes before the bar opened. He let us sit at the bar and order drinks while he was setting up. Fantastic service and he didn't charge our colleague, who lived locally and had to drive home, for his club soda.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I'm from NY/NJ and can be pretty critical of food from out of state. However, the food here exceeded my expectations. The service was above average and the atmosphere was great. I tried to visit again over Labor Day weekend, but it was packed and I know why! This is definitely a place I'll visit again when in town.“

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

“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.“

“Really cool place in downtown Annapolis. Navy themed of course but the staff I’d really nice and harbors no animus to Army grads. Comfort food mainly with really excellent crab cages and fish and chips. Nicest bartender in the universe. Great place to go to grab a good meal and beer“

“Classic old school bar with lots of different food and drink options. No body says bless you when I sneeze WTH. But still a an awesome stop. I like to bar hop down here it’s a great time! Mikey and Kim rock they are famous for showing off the goods on good morning America!!!! America funk yeah!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! Don Chico’s just opened a few months ago, and it’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Annapolis. I had the flank steak with rice and beans — it was incredible, slow cooked and perfectly seasoned. The hospitality is next level — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. You can feel the pride they take in every detail. No doubt this will become a local favorite! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We went to Stoney River Steakhouse for my husband's birthday with our adult son. The venue has a quiet, rustic elegance and the staff are absolutely wonderful! Our waitress was very helpful, informative, pleasant and professional. We wanted a place to go for an elevated, relaxing celebration and Stoney River more than delivered. The food was absolutely perfect and the atmosphere lent itself to lovely, cozy conversations with it's My guys each had a steak meal and I had the cedar plank salmon and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
