“I had a large catering order for a construction meeting in DC. They asked for something new. Since I love Julep's, I brought some for my customers. Emily was great from start to finish and helped me make a good menu. I asked for the order to be ready by 1030am and they made it happen. Everyone loved the food. You don't win friends with salad. Highly recommend!“

“the girl karmen did great on to go! very friendly“

“Great small plates and cocktails. Love the rooftop atmosphere“

“From start to finish, it was awesome. Food, Wine, Dessert & Coffee perfection. The Hostess and our server Jennifer were very friendly and wonderful. First time here but definitely not our last. 10/10 complements to the Chef👍. Our meal started with the Chefs Selection Board, then the special of the day Mushroom Soup, my Husband had the Cast Iron Skirt Steak (flavor was Delish) I had the Chicory Salad with Bacon Bits (minus the pecan nuts) for Dessert I had the FIG & BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING (heaven in a plate) with the yummy Coffee.“

“I see a lot of these are older reviews and I don’t know if they have since gotten a new chef in the last 3 years but the food is phenomenal and I’m very picky! I look for things to not like and this is my second time here and can’t think of one bad thing. Service is good, but the food is literally outstanding. The mashed potatoes had great flavor as did the veggies - my steak was a tad overdone but it was so tasty it didn’t matter. Crab cake was filled with delicious lump crab! And it had flavor too — I also tried the Korean short ribs on special and they were just SO GOOD! The drinks are also delicious! And I stare at the dessert case every time I come in but I’m always too full to order anything. I guarantee they’re also to die for! Great place!!“

“The only time better than their food are their bartenders. Great job!!!“

“First experience at The Lodge. Great atmosphere. Huge bar area. Will return. Overall great experience. At time of reservations let them know about my fiance's 60th birthday that day and they didn't do anything, other than ask if it was a special occasion. They could improve that experience. Great waiter "Rob". Enjoyed“

“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!“

“This restaurant is my happy place! My favorite restaurant in Maryland. I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always delicious, the service is wonderful, and the location can’t be beat.“

“We enjoyed a perfect evening for my son's rehearsal dinner! Blackwall Barn and Lodge is a great place to hold any event! Danny and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The food was beyond amazing. I wouldn't hesitate recommending the restaurant/Lodge to anyone. Love the atmosphere.“

“Unique food focused on local products and sustainability. The food is like nothing I’ve had before. Highly recommend the crispy kale appetizer. Love the homemade “sodas” especially the citrus soda and ginger soda.“

“I had a rehearsal dinner for 97 people including 11 children and a welcome party after for about 100 people. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional! The children loved the pizza! Taylor, the event coordinator, made this a five star event in every category including STRESS FREE for me being I live in New York! My son and now daughter in law said it couldn’t have been better! Their wedding was on Gibson Island the next day so it was a great start to the weekend!“

“On our first visit we all enjoyed what we ordered and the staff couldn't have been nicer. We will all return. Thank you, Eastport Kitchen!!“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“Great place! Great food, service and atmosphere ❤️“

“I would highly recommend going and when you go ask for a woman named Cory to be your server. She greeted my family and I right at the entrance and made us feel right at home. I’d say she was close to a kind reader as it comes because she basically knew what we needed before we ever said anything. Our drinks stayed filled and any questions about the menu we had she had the answers. The food came out quickly and was delicious. We will be showing our faces again and will be making Cory our regular server.“

“Harvest Thyme Tavern is one of our most favorite restaurants in the DMV, yet a neighborhood gem. We probably eat here more than most go out to dinner in a month. I admire the family ownership and commitment to running the establishment on a daily basis. The food is sourced from our local farmers and that’s just another reason we love this place. The quality ingredients make all the difference in the food and the cocktails. Burgers, fish, salads, pasta and pizza no one else comes close to. Everything here tastes amazing. Pam has desserts to die for, always a select menu and then she has daily offerings that will have you questioning which one to go for. Have no doubt you will love everything! Hands down the best Spicy Cadillac Margarita and that alone speaks volumes. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The staff is always accommodating, personal, professional and friendly. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!“

“Great staff, great food, great hospitality“

“We discovered this gem a few months ago. We love it and been there quite a few times already. Great food and atmosphere!“

“I came in for a quick breakfast sandwich and found it to be a cozy grab and go vibe. There were no frills. It was a prefect, simple bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for a reasonable price. The 2 people there were super friendly and quick. A great local vibe.“

“Their food is so reasonably priced and very good. Crab cakes were tasty and full of lump meat and broiled perfectly. The fries are hand cut and delicious, and the salad bar is nice. I also tried the fried okra ( yum) and the green beans were very tasty too. Wait staff was refreshingly friendly and attentive. Don’t be taken aback by the atmosphere. It’s an older place but it’s kept very clean. They also have a full service bar👍“

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

“Excellent dining experience once again! Our first time there was about a month ago and when our waitress walked by she recognized us! Very impressive ?she said she's a school teacher and is used to memorizing so many names and faces. I forgot her name but she's a very nice person! We came in for our wedding anniversary last evening. Caroline I believe het name was took cgood care of us. She was very sweet, professional and attentive! The food was excellent. My husband had the salmon BLT which he enjoyed and I had the Bistro Steak Frites and it was perfect and delicious just as it was the last time! The gentleman who was assisting the staff ( either owner or mgr) very kindly came and replaced my dish with the correct one. Someone else had ordered it but to a different doneness. The entire staff was warm and friendly, from the servers to the mgr, owner, and hostesses. We will definitely be back and want to bring our friends whom we told about your restaurant. Keep up the great work, Ashling!“

“Great restaurant, family friendly, live music, great service. We went on Mother's day and the live music was amazing! There were multiple large families with children and it was truly a great experience. We went with just four of us and we could chat but otherwise listened to the great music and enjoyed our food immensely! The service was super friendly. The bathrooms were clean as well. We had a great parking spot right in the front. We didn't experience the bar area. The food was really good and they had great kid friendly options. Our waitress was great!“

“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.“

“Best restaurant 5stars and clean“

“We came from out of town to visit and WOW…. Meal was delicious! Wings were spot on and the service was excellent! Highly recommend the crab soup and Philly cheesesteak also!!!“

“Cute and fun spot with great service and awesome food. A must try!!“

“Outstanding food and desserts“

“I took my boyfriend out for a father's day dinner last night at this great new restaurant to us. Wait was only 10 minutes. Very nice decor. Love the ceiling and lighting. The cocktails were spot on! The food was delicious. But above all else, our waiter, Nick, was the best part about this. He had great energy and attentiveness. He had the funniest quips and took care of all of our requests. Thank you Nick!“

“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.“

“Great little place. Definitely kind of hidden in a little strip. Drove by it for about 8 months and never noticed it. Large portion of food. Homefries were really good. Had to add salt and pepper to the chipped beef but was decent. Coffee was nothing special. Great little spot with great service.“

“We had a great experience tonight. The restaurant was able to accommodate our party of 15+. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food and drinks were awesome and everyone enjoyed themselves, especially the 6 year birthday boy!“

“Incredible food, great service, and a great atmosphere.“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“Best club sandwich! Tons of bacon, turkey and the bread is delicious!“

“My husband and I had not been here in a while. Went in at 10:30 am on 2/08/25, and I was craving lunch food. They had no issues prepping our lunch and the young man who waited on us was very nice, polite and answered my questions. Food was good and dining room was very clean.“

“friendly service great food“

“Maddie is an amazing waitress! So accommodating and kind.“

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

“Great club with great service“

“When we first stopped there they offered us a free sample. The guy was careful enough to pick a really fresh piece and we decided to buy from there based on that. However, when we got the food, the selected chicken teriyaki was now dry as if it was the bunch that had been warming up all day. It was dry and rough on the edges. The soda is a 1 time refill. I will probably not eat there again.“

“It’s the best Italian food I’ve ever had !!“

“Very cool experience! Got to take photos with the knights afterwards and the fights were amazing! You are given a specific knight to cheer for based on your seating section too. They have a net that comes down to protect the audience during the fights due to flying debris. It's a bit hard to hear some of the dialogue sometimes due to the crowd cheering, but you understand the majority. Overall a very unique and fun way to have dinner with friends in general or to celebrate an event like a birthday.“

“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!“

“It has been over five years since we have ate at Red Robin. We loved eating there when we lived in North Carolina. The food was just as amazing as I remembered it and my favorite part are the french fries, garlic or smothered in the seasoning. We had seven people in our party and the waitress was amazing, had a very friendly personality and attitude and done a really good job, thank you very much Cici. We were worried being a Saturday evening the place would be packed but it was not. I am unsure if that is a good thing or not but we are thankful it was not very busy. There was no wait to get seated and the wait after ordering our food was very reasonable. I wish Red Robin would open one closer to us in southern West Virginia. The mens’ rest room was clean and nice, which that is always a plus when you are at any establishment. Also, the restaurant is in a big plaza or mall with plenty of shopping and ice cream and many other things. Thank you for a good evening out for dinner while visiting Six Flags before they close.“

“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.“

“This was our third time at Gary’s, and once again it was spectacular. Although your table has a primary server, the whole team works in concert to keep the customers happy. We had several special requests, and every time the response was “let me see if we can do that.” It just so happened that they could accommodate all of our requests. The food was fantastic as always. But the real magic happened at the end of the meal – just as we were asking for the check, there was a medical incident with one of our kids. All available staff immediately came to our rescue with resources and reassurances and enough bodies to create a privacy wall while we stabilized the situation, and I was able to get our kiddo bundled up and in the car in a hurry while my spouse payed the check.“
