True Chesapeake offers a charming, Berlinesque ambience with very good service. The menu features creative uses of seasonal ingredients, although it may not always perfectly reflect what is being served. The restaurant's offerings like nettle and wild garlic soup are worth supporting, especially given the recent positive reviews. The outdoor space is well-designed with greenery and overlooks a parking lot, providing a pleasant setting. Highly recommended dishes include local oysters, soft shell crab, hand-cut pasta with clams, and Caesar salad with oyster croutons. The variety of oyster preparations, tasty crab mac and cheese, and well-prepared asparagus make for a satisfying dining experience. The restaurant also offers happy hour specials, making it a great spot for groups or couples to enjoy a casual outing. Guests have appreciated the outdoor seating, especially on summer afternoons, and the service has been praised for being timely and friendly. The food is generally delicious, with oysters prepared in various ways like raw, fried, and Rockefeller, along with crab dishes and pasta. The atmosphere and attentive staff contribute to a pleasant dining experience, though sometimes the food can take a little longer to arrive. Overall, True Chesapeake remains a popular choice for those seeking good seafood and a relaxed setting.
