Chesapeake's Seafood Restaurant

Food was ok. The plating of the food was careless. We shared an entree and the fish came out alone on one plate, the sides all separate plates. The waiter was not helpful with menu questions and his manner was brusque to begin with.

Chesapeake is a fun, well decorated restaurant with yummy food. The location doesn't give its guests the best views 😳.

We had a lovely, attentive server who paced our meal well. The ahi tuna salad is a favorite. All in all, a great experience. Thanks!

Top notch restaurant, excellent staff, steaks are scrumptious

We went to Chesapeake’s to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and for a $203 bill (for 3 people), I expected far better food and service. Sadly, it was a letdown from start to finish.
• Timing: We had to wait a long time between courses — first the salads, then quite a gap before the entrées arrived.
• Food temperature: Nothing came out hot. Not cold, but lukewarm at best.
• Steak: Came out undercooked (still red inside) and had to be sent back.
• Baked potatoes: Not fully cooked, had to request replacements.
• Shrimp: No seasoning at all, just bland.
• Salads: Looked like they were poured straight from a bag — clumped together and unappealing.
• Clam strips: My mom’s were fried so hard they were chewy and unpleasant.
• Overall taste: Most of the fried food seemed to be just heavy breading tossed into grease with no real seasoning.

By the time more issues came up, I didn’t even want to keep sending things back — we just tried to eat what we could.

This was supposed to be a special night out, but the quality and execution of the food didn’t come close to matching the price. Everything looked better than it tasted, and it’s not a place I can recommend based on this visit.

(Photos attached show the actual dishes we received.) I didn’t get a picture of the steak it has been sent back

Excellent place to have a business lunch. Upscale, great food, top notch service. Only complaint is that at lunchtime the servers can sometimes take a long time to bring the check, we gotta get back to work at some point!

The Fried Seafood platter (now $40) was a mountain of delicious items, served with breads and a tasty spinach bake.
But I was disappointed when I arrived at the time I had reserved online (with a text confirmation I showed them) and was told I had no reservation. So I sat in the bar area. My waiter was apologetic but the server first tried to give my meal to a nearby table.
Note that prices have increased from those posted here.

We visited the older location a few years ago and wasn't impressed, so I haven't wanted to try Chesapeakes again. However, I am so glad we did! This location is beautiful, the staff was so pleasant and the food! *chefs kiss* We started with the ahi tuna, and it was yummy. My husband ordered the broiled seafood platter, and it was all delicious (so delicious he didn't even share his shrimp with me!), but the crab cake was possibly the best I've had. I ordered the filet and lobster tail, and it was cooked perfectly. The steak was easily the best I've had in years, and the lobster was perfectly cooked. Ending the night with a scrumptious cheesecake and I left with stars in my eyes and a happy belly.

Hank is the absolute BEST server. He gave us so many suggestions, since it was our first time eating here, and they were all fantastic. The BBQ shrimp, snapper, broiled seafood platter, and pie were all amazing. We’ll be back, and asking for Hank!

Peter was our server! He was fantastic. Service was top-notch. He kept up with all of our requests even my picky friends, and didn't miss a beat with all the jokes at the table. I will come back and request Peter again.

Always excellent service. Great seafood. The crab cakes are excellent!, they are made with plenty of crab meat , not a bunch of bread and onion.

Did not honor my reservation. Food and service were as expected but incredibly disappointed that my reservation wasn't honored and that I was put in line as if I was a walk up. Showed up 10 minutes earlier than my listed time and waited 45 minutes to be sat.
