“the bartender rocks 🖖✌🤟🤘🤙👌👏👏👏“

“The food was so good I cried on my plate. My server was attentive. 10/10 for me“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Every thing was Amazing the view, service, food and drinks!! This is definitely a hidden gem! We will definitely be back!“

“Very friendly staff, food is always good, and I love the cleanliness of the restaurant including the bathroom! They make their own chantilly🤩“

“We had an amazing Sunday Brunch at The Lodge of Annapolis! As we dined in a private wine cellar, the atmosphere was beautiful with great decor, delicious food, and soulful music. A special shoutout to our server, Jenny from the Block—she was exceptional, attentive, and made our experience truly enjoyable.

Also, kudos to Anthony, the General Manager, for his personal attention and professionalism.

Top-tier customer service and even better food—definitely a 5-star experience. We’ll be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“10/10. I've never had a Reuben with such perfectly toasted rye, the fries were perfect, the cheesesteak was just the right balance between dry and soggy, and the prices are very reasonable. Nothing bad to say about the place at all—I actually like the cozy seating and 90s menu board. Definitely coming back next time I'm around.“

“We went for the crabcakes on a recommendation we heard from someone. There definitely was plenty of crabmeat in them but in our opinion they lacked a bit of flavor. The cream crab soup was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It’s a very casual family oriented restaurant.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“3 Stars for generic decor. There's nothing wrong with it. If 5 stars is the fanciest restaurant you've been to, this won't be it. It's a bar and grille. Food is delicious, haven't bought anything that wasn't something I wasn't going to eat.“

“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 staff, great food, great hospitality“

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

“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!“

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

“Outstanding food and desserts“

“I had a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious—everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. It is clearly a step above your standard breakfast spot.
A huge shoutout to our waitress, Susan. She was incredibly nice, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. Great service makes a huge difference, and she really went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“friendly service great food“

“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.“

“Very impressed for a quick easy meal. These meals once heated definitely do not taste like frozen it literally tasted homemade. I think these are my go to frozen meals and nothing else.“

“Great club with great service“

“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!“

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

“I kept hearing about this food truck so on one of my remote days, I found it. I got the seafood fries. The seafood was, i want to say nicely seasoned but thats an understatement, it was seasoned to hell. OMG, delicious, the little fries on the bottom however were sad. For a dish like this, crinkle cut fries would have been better but instead you get hard shoestring fries. Some of them were inedible because the ends were so hard. Maybe it was just a bad friday, oops fry day. Would I go back, yup. Not necessarily for the fries but that seafood was seasoned so well I have to try something else.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing. Very unique little spot. Cannot wait to return Our waitress Allie was sweet and attentive !!!“

“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.“

“We were looking for a place to grab a bite and watch the sunset so we ended up here. There was music outside and it was busy so we went for a walk on the beach while we had time. We came back about an hour before sunset and the music was over and most of the crowd gone. Weird. Anyway, we ordered shrimp tacos and chicken tacos. We weren't expecting much from a place called snack shack but the food was delicious. The chicken and shrimp had som much flavor, they were amazing. It's a great spot to sit back and watch the sunset over the ocean too.“

“Food was great! Took my family and had a great time. My daughter played with one of the free balloons the entire time and had a blast. Service was a little less attentive than I would have liked, but wouldn't stop me from going back.“

“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.“

“was pleasantly surprised how good everything was. the i got the hatch burger and we shared the fish and chips. Burger was great but I added Carmel onion. As for the fish and chips the fish was breaded to perfection. crunchy/c crispy and the meat was also nicely done. I'm not very big on tartar sauce but the one they provided was excellent one of the best I've had. would definitely come again!!“

“Salmon really good so is the wine and“
