20 Best Seafood Restaurants near Shady Side

“Food is great! I get the double fillet and it the best i have had anywhere in this area! Veggies are always cooked to perfection.Everything i had there has been great and the prices are always right! The place probably could use an update but i consider it a hidden gem!“

“We’ve been here yesterday, we are from NY, the food is excellent but when we arrived and getting a table we experienced racism, just because my husband is a Latino, we heard the waitresses murmuring and pointing each other who will entertain us, plus the receptionist has an attitude, not even smiling. But aside from that food is above and beyond. Billed $195.70 and left a $40 tip for Morgan..“

“Kudos to Carroll’s Creek for a superb wine dinner last evening. The food was so delicious, service was impeccable and was accompanied by great Argentinian wines. We always have really good meals here, but the dinner last evening was outstanding in every way. Thank you to the sommelier, chef, kitchen staff, and servers who made for such an enjoyable evening.“

“We apparently came on a bar crawl night but we still got seated for dinner immediately. Our server, Brooke, was great. She gave us time to ask questions and read through the menu/drinks. We ordered a calamari appetizer, chicken Riesling and crab cake dinner. All was great and my husband said the crab cake was one of the best he ever ate. My chicken had a creamier sauce with mushrooms and bacon. Very tasty! For dessert we had the special Bailey's cheesecake. It was topped with a thick piece of chocolate (not my favorite) but the creamy center was delicious. It was extremely loud but beyond that the food was good!“

“We had a delicious meal at Luna Blu. The burrata appetizer is excellent and a large portion. Each of us had pasta. Mine was the gluten free Pasta Genovese, with pesto and added Italian sausage. It was outstanding. Our server was very helpful and attentive to our needs. Highly recommended“

“The ingredients are very fresh!This is the first time I have eaten oysters that are not salty. The oysters have no fishy smell and are paired with sauce. Even if you don’t dare to eat oysters, they are worth trying. They are very refreshing.There are also some fried oysters, which add more aroma of oil compared to raw ones. The light seasoning also brings out the umami flavor of the ingredients. I like it very much?“

“I wanted to stay in Annapolis but wasn't quite sure what I wanted to eat. Did a quick search and found this delight of a place. I was able to make reservations on the same day (Saturday) My wife and I arrived and were quickly seated. The restaurant has a nice intimate feel however this place was jumping. Tons of people inside with everyone having a good time. Our waitress was sweet. Made good suggestions and was very attentive. For starters we ordered the Crispy Calamri while my wife had a lemon drop for a drink. The Clamari was in fact crispy. Very solid crunch. The marinara sauce was PIPING hot. Good start to our dinner. The lemon drop was a good mix of alcohol and juice. They provide you the cup along with the remainder on the side. BIG TIME PLUS. For Dinner, I was starving. I ordered the Steak N Fries, along with the Rockfish and Not your Ordinary Mac & Cheese. The steak was delicious! Nice and juicy. Cooks to perfection. Fries were crispy. The Fish was tasty and the mashed potatoes were GREAT!!! The Mac & Cheese is definitely not ordinary. There was a tangy taste that I could do without. It was missing something but the rest of my food was so good I could easily overcook it. My wife ordered the Steak Brazil with mashed Potatoes & Broccoli. She also enjoyed her food. Broccoli was fresh. Mashed Potatoes were delicious. She preferred the filet cooked a little more but still ate them. I'd happily come back and plan on returning to J. Alexander. It was a great time. Great service, Wonderful atmosphere, and good food. I enjoyed myself.“

“So happy that SOB is back and better than ever. The oysters are hands down the best in town. Lobster was great, but my favorites are still the octopus and smoked fish dip- waited 2 years and it was worth it. Best staff, great vibe, best restaurant in Annapolis.“

“Food, service and management are awesome. Just had 6 delicious big crabs, 2 suckulent lobsters together with their liquid gold cleared butter. Man, what a feast! All there food has always been the best! Thanks Tim always for your service. Crabs particularly are cooked to perfection with your amazing seasoning. thanks always... Only place to get crabs, seafood/shellfish and dinners to cook and bake... Way cheaper than the restaurant and more for your buck.. Eat at home as you please and enjoy with family and friends.“

“This is about a take out order so I understand I didn't get the full Memo's experience. Service was quick and polite. The food was ready when I got there. Once at home the food just didn't have much flavor. My fish still had bones in it. Appetizer was disappointing. I probably won't go back again.“

“This was my first time timing despite living in Annapolis for years. We never went because of negative reviews we had heard from a family member. I am glad we gave it a try because it was an amazing dinner date night. The ambiance / decor is beautiful, tables aren’t too close together, we were very comfortable sitting by a window. Our server was incredibly attentive and I even complimented him at the end of the night for his great service! As for the food we literally ate ever single bite - we started with bread service then apps we ordered the buffalo fried oyster - they were amazing. Dinner I ordered crabcakes and my husband ordered a lobster special. See my pictures for how beautiful the presentation was and it was delicious!!! Overall A+ date night and I would return!!“

“Been here a few times now and it never disappoints! We’ve only ever gotten the Bar Harbor rolls and I think $25 is a totally fair price for the amount of meat and quality. The rolls are very tasty and the staff are friendly! Of course this isn’t the same as an actual lobster roll from Maine but it also isn’t the same price nor do you have to go the distance. I will continue coming here, this place is great!!“

“We had dinner over the weekend in NB and the food is always good here at Hook & Vine. Service and atmosphere has always been great as well.Cute little spot near the water and other entertainment.The Coastal Cobb Salad was so fresh and so tasty! I highly recommend this because it has bacon, chicken AND shrimp.Parking: Depending on the day or evening it can get busy in North beach. You may at most need to park a small block or two away if you can’t find anything close or right up front. It’s a busy little town especially as the weather gets nicer, so it is to be expected.“

“The picture doesn't really do justice. This is my go to stop for crabs! I love the garlic crab seasoning! The owners are super friendly and welcoming! If it was a sit down restaurant I would definitely sit down! Check them out and tell them I sent ya!“

“Celebrated birthdays at brunch ..we all enjoyed our meals...my first try at Chicken and waffles...it was delicious. Our server, Diana, was charming , lovely and efficient . I give her 5 stars...very enjoyable visit...we will return for sure.“

“AMAZING!! We had AZTK cater our NYE party and the food was outstanding and the service was even better! They were super efficient and professional start to finish! Very accommodating and supportive through the process is making selections etc. We ordered and picked up food for our event the same week! No issues! I would highly recommend using them for a party or any event!“

“Fresh and tasty seafood - good selections too. The crab chowder is to die for. It a nice waterfront restaurants next to West River Yacht Harbour. I wish they have Tesla EV charger though. Would be a great place to stop and get good food /drinks while waiting for the car to 'charged up'. The owner should think about this addition for extra revenue since I saw many Tesla while I was in the area but there was no charging station.“

“I visited Ketch 22 for lunch on a weekday. We enjoyed the Whipped Feta appetizer the most! It was delicious and the bread it was served with was great! We also had the crabcake! It was very good! All crab meat not any filler ! I also really enjoyed the Key Lime Crush cocktail“

“Fun spot. Food and drinks were great. The pictures of the interior on open table do not do it justice. We almost did not pick this place due to the sparse interior. FOR YOUR SAKE PLEASE CHANGE YOUR INTERIOR PICTURES! We had a great time in a cool spot. Noise level was a bit high, could put up a few acoustic panels to go help.“
