“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.“

“Looove the point!! Beautiful atmosphere and view, wonderful service and delicious food! The fried pickles are a must for an appetizer when you go!!“

“We had a happy hour event at Harper's this afternoon with fourteen people. The food was fantastic, and the service was friendly and efficient. The tuna tower and lamb lollipops were standouts, but everything was good. Friends also enjoyed the crab dip, crab cake, clams, and soup. Highly recommend.“

“Best seafood! I love their crab cakes .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Oishi is easily one of our favorite restaurants in the area! We are huge fans of their Japanese fried rice and their amazing sushi. Everything is always incredibly fresh and tasty. On top of the great food, the staff is always so friendly and the restaurant is consistently clean. I highly recommend Oishi to anyone looking for fantastic Japanese food!“

“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!“

“The Blue Dolphin never disappoints! Fantastic service and great food. Hold your next corporate event at the Blue Dolphin - they do an amazing job!“

“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!“

“Crabs, FriedFish sandwich“

“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!“

“Came here randomly after getting some injections in my back and this place was such a VIBE on a Thursday at 1:30pm. Tiffany was the bartender/server and she was so nice. Made great recommendations and food came out fast. Even the other customers were really nice lol looks like a great place to have a big crab feast for large parties. The crab dip was freaking insane. Very generous GARNISHING it with crab meat and a hot loaf of seasoned bread. The quintessential Maryland crab set up. I added a picture of my mom trying the recommended rum punch for the first time. They also have Smith Island chocolate cake which is not easy to find in Baltimore! Prices were great. We will definitely be back.“

“What a wonderful experience. I arrived at this restaurant for their happy hour on Saturday. It was busy but we were able to sit at a table in the bar area. The service was first rate, the food was terrific and very generous especially since it was happy hour. I will be back with both friends and family.“

“Best restaurant 5stars and clean“

“Yum, great service and great atmosphere“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“A group of friends and I went this Saturday for my birthday and we had the sweetest bartender! Her name was Kim and she’s the best! She chatted with us the entire time we were there, even going out of her way to take pictures for us. We all ordered different drinks and they each tasted amazing! 10/10 would recommend everyone to go there!“

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

“Hey Guys check your inbox! I sent a very memorable picture you guys want to post!“

“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.“
