Carrol's Creek Cafe

One of my favorite restaurants in Annapolis. The staff is always friendly and the food is so good. The location is great along with the views. There were 5 in our group and we all lived our meals. Surf and turf, rockfish, crab cakes and cioppino. The salads were good and the desserts amazing. we love the espresso crème brûlée, but all the desserts were so good.

I had an outstanding experience at Carrol’s Creek Cafe. I’m a little late adding this review, as I visited a few weeks back, but at the time, the weather was perfect to sit outside by the water. We arrived for dinner by water taxi and enjoyed our meal on the outdoor deck watching the sunset. My meal was delicious, the filet mignon and crab stuffed lobster tail. We even heard taps played at the end of the day from the US Naval Academy. If I’m ever back in Annapolis, I will visit again.

We had a lovely date night/early dinner on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the water views from the porch and our server was wonderful. The food is always consistently good! We shared oysters, tuna tower appetizer, and the crab cakes and steak entrees. We will definitely be back!

There were friendly, helpful, attentive servers in a very nice setting with beautiful views of Spa Creek. The food was presented beautifully and absolutely delicious. The appetizer and all of our dishes were cooked to perfection. I very highly recommend Carrol’s Creek Cafe.

We dine here for our wedding anniversary today as a matter of fact. The ambience is pretty good. I like the atmosphere. We had the patio and you can see the water and the boats, that was awesome. Our waiter was awesome. His name was Anthony I believe. But the number one derogatory thing I would say our table was so wobbly that we had to put napkins on under two legs, so it would stop, but it was a decent restaurant. The food was pretty good. The only thing I would say it had to be seasoned a little better other than that it was a pretty good Experience

I cannot believe I haven’t come here sooner but will make sure to do so. The food was filling and for such a great cost. The filet mignon was one of the best I’ve had, the mash potatoes were amazing, and even the bread and butter were great. Our server was so sweet and the inside is beautiful. Low intimate lighting but not too low that you can’t read the menu. 10/10.

My husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary at Carrol’s Creek Cafe, and I could not have been happier. I had no clue where he had planned for us to have dinner, I just knew that it was a location in Annapolis. From the minute we walked in to the quite inconspicuously located entrance, I was prepared for just about anything! But every single expectation was met, when we were seated outside, immediately next to Spa Creek and the Drawbridge; just in time to watch the entire sunset in all its glory. 🌅 The service, food and wine were all impeccable! I started with the house special - the Sea Scallops, and chose the Sautéed Shrimp and Crab Pasta for my main! Both of these were 10/10 and truly seasoned and prepared to perfection. There was no over seasoning, I could taste each and every one of these fresh ingredients in the pasta… From the grilled zucchini to the fresh lump crab, the cherry tomatoes and the lemon zest 🍋!! My husband had the Cream of Corn soup & the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, both of which he devoured! When my husband made the reservation, he made the note that it was an anniversary dinner, but perhaps they missed this on our reservation when we checked in? There were a few other tables with celebrations like birthdays, and they got a sweet card and that additional special treatment to complement the evening. But this was missed with us - but that's not such a big deal. What a memorable way to end our one year wedding anniversary! Looking forward to going back again, for hopefully more special occasions.

Absolutely fantastic food! Amazing dockside restaurant with view of the marina. The service is great, our waiter was top notch. Can't say enough about this place, a must when visiting Annapolis!

Excellent location, attentive service, average food with above average prices. Portions are fair but quality is just eh imo. I heard a lot about Carrol's Creek, so may have had elevated expectations which they did not quite hit. We started with the scallops, which had a bit too much shredded phyllo. The crab cake was good but a bit dry. The rockfish had a great lump of crab and was cooked appropriately. The cocktail selection was creatively. The old fashioned was smooth. The views were nice, even from the inside. I highly recommend trying to get seated on the deck (reservation required). They validate parking!

This restaurant has amazing views if you can get a table on the deck. We were not so lucky but were seated at a table with a window overlooking the deck. This was still a nice view. All four of us ordered salads. Wedge, Caesars and Chopped. Excellent salads! I ordered the baked oyster appetizer which was fantastic. I should have ordered two. A couple had the fresh fish blackened. Service was over the top. This has always been a top notch restaurant in Annapolis/East Port. I recommend reservations since the place is well known and very popular. Very good price/value relationship.

SECRET HAPPY HOUR Eastport locals know how to eat well and stretch their drinking dollars .. Carrol's Creek Happy Hour starts at 5pm (Sunday-Thursday) and features some of the restaurant's best dishes. With savings of $4-7 per dish (relative to the main restaurant), you can feast on crab cakes, tuna tartare, BBQ shrimp, calamari, baked oysters and a number of other local specialties. What you don't get is seating on the water-side porch or in the main restaurant. HOW TO ACCESS: When you enter the restaurant, let the hostess know that you're here for Happy Hour and request a table in the bar area (to the left of the hostess stand). There is sure to be a crowd at the car and a number of tables already filled, but there's always been a 4-top when we've shown up. Staff is great and hard working - Tip them well!

Dropped in last night in Annapolis MD. Restaurant was very nice and close to the water. Jay our server was very attentive and good. I ordered the surf and turf. It was good. Steak was ordered rare but was med rare. Lobster was good as well. I would recommend stopping in. Good choices on the menu. Really wish I got crab cakes but next time....

The views & ambiance are lovely here, but I was hoping the food would taste better. My family decided to dine at Carrol's Creek before I returned to the West coast. I wanted to eat somewhere close to home and on the water. There restaurant is nestled beautifully on the docks near downtown Annapolis. There is a parking lot out front, and the restaurant will validate the parking. Our waiter was fun, and made a few jokes at our table, so the service wasn't lacking. They honestly just dropped the ball with the food. We started off with the crab guacamole appetizer. Surprisingly, this was the best dish of the night. My mom order some crab dip, and it was extremely watery and lacked flavor. For dinner, I ordered a crab cake and a house salad with raspberry vinaigrette. The salad was actually sad. It had romaine lettuce, sunflower seeds, and cranberries. I would have loved for it to have some additional vegetables or croutons to jazz it up. I have had house salads that came with diced tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, etc. I was just hoping for a little more. The crab cake also missed the mark for me. It needed more old bay or something, just not what i'm use to. For my first time visiting Carrol's Creek, I was expecting more.

Better than expected really. Myself and two other girlfriends had hoped to sit outside, but it was packed and about a two hour wait; dissapointed but we settled for the dark somewhat dingey bar area. Our server and bartender was great and helpful. I had a Spirit Free Drink that was worth posting about because it was THAT good. a non-alcoholic Bourbon, tea type drink that was actually quite delicious. Don't judge me but I had a medium well burger, and it was peeerrrfectly cooked, and juicy, and the fries that came with weree on point. Service good. food and drink excellent. Seems I'd have to make reservations this time around to sit outside to enjoy the water view.

Food was to die for! Such amazing food and the wine was delish! The waiter was so kind and so attentive. The views on the back deck were nice too. Just to see all the sailboats and people docking their boats was cool. Will be back here for sure.

During our long weekend we chose this cafe because the reviews were good and we were also attracted by the fact that the cafe had a view of the water. The food was prepared from fresh ingredients. But the taste was nothing special. And the prices for the dishes are almost like in upscale restaurants. I ordered a cocktail Russ's Rainkiller. I liked the taste. The staff and the waitress were very nice and attentive.

Really nice spot for a view of the water and yummy seafood,. Very pleasant waiter and good service, Nice outdoor seating but fortunately it was too windy to be sitting outside today. I had a lunch special - a Maryland soft shell crab sandwich and it was delicious! So much fun to eat. Served with very good, crispy French fries. Also tried the creamy crab soup. Very tasty and very rich. My husband had the Greek seafood salad snd he really liked it. The ahi tartar was beautifully presented and my friend loved it. Definitely recommend a stop here and, a nice glass of rose.

My husband and I went to celebrate both our birthdays for lunch. The food was amazing and delicious. Absolutely loved the dockside seating. The weather was perfect for lunch. Service was excellent. Our waiter was funny and very informative. Had great recommendations.

Went for a program in one of their private rooms. The service was unbelievably good. But the food, I only took a couple of pictures but the food was really good and presentation was next level. Don't ask me prices, because we ordered from a set menu, but it waz worth it I'm sure. But the food details? She crab soup - thick, almost a paste instead of the soup, but the flavor was sublime, and there was a ton of crab in the soup Salad - it's hard to mess up a good salad, but I've seen it done, thankfully not here. Everything was fresh, presentation was fab, and the vinaigrette dressing was some of the best I've had. Mashed potatoes - mine had a green tint to them, and the flavor had a hint of spinach, but WOW these weee good. Green beans - crisp and well seasoned. Sugar peas - OH MY, these were so good. Crab Cake /Fillet - not my dish, but one of my table mates said the crack cake was amazing. I didn't get any comments on the fillet but it looked good. Salmon - the salmon was good, a tad dry, but the crisp exterior reminded me of a crème brûlée as you could tap the surface and feel that hard coating. The exterior was great, as I said the middle got a little dry. Mushrooms - mushrooms were part of the salmon dish, and they're getting their billing because they were freaking fabulous. You hear me. FREAKING FABULOUS. I could eat mushrooms like this 31 days out of a month and not get tired of them. If the restaurant reads this and wants to slide me the recipe, I would not complain. I used to ride Service to get there, and to leave so I don't really know about the parking but it looked like there was plenty. One of the better parts was you look over the marina and see a number of beautiful boats, small and large and we got to see some of the sunset too. In fact, one of the , one of the teammates had them open up the blinds and let them take a picture of the sunset. It was so beautiful. The service here was so good, really so good. It is direly worth a try.

we had an amazing anniversary dinner here! we had a 7pm reservation on a saturday night. there is a small paid parking lot right out front, and the restaurant validates so bring your ticket inside! we had to wait a few min for our table to be ready. the ambience is very nice, but not toooo fancy. love the view of the water and boats - im sure it's even better in the summer! everything we ate was fabulous! fresh, tasty, and worth the price. we seriously cleaned all of our plates. the menu on their website is slightly different than the one in the restaurant, so don't get too attached to a particular dish. we got a free choice of dessert bc of our special occasion - always appreciated! my only real complaint was that our service was ~too fast~. we had our appetizer for less than 10 min and we were still working on it when our server brought our main courses and asked if he could take the appetizer away. this is a small thing but makes you feel like you're being rushed out. regardless, i would definitely come back!

This is one of my favorite local restaurants for lunch or dinner by the water overlooking the Annapolis Marina. All of the food here is great! The staff is well trained and polite. Not sure what to order? I'm going to make this simple for you: 5oz Filet Mignon, herb mashed potatoes (don't be alarmed looks like guacamole), comes with sauteed pearl onions and mushrooms, broccolini, and I added the grilled shrimp Trust me, this meal looks as good as it tasted. For an additional treat, I did a 3-tier white wine flight. The Italian selection and the French were very good, until we got to the 3rd American varietal, which I sent back, because it completely threw my taste buds off, so they brought me out an extra 2 oz pour of the French selection. This day did not disappoint, the parking is free when you bring in your ticket for validation. The restaurant is also steps away from the water taxi stand if you want a lovely sail to explore other parts of old Annapolis.

Perfect for a wonderful Sunday brunch experience. Classy place yet not stuffy! Highly recommended!

Had supper there last night both specials short rib with mashed potato's and blackened swordfish over risotto both outstanding had the red onion soup to start which is always well made everything was great including service !

Quick seating and service during a busy time (immediately post USNA football game)! Tried the lunch filet mignon (pictured), shrimp and crab pasta, and bruschetta, all winners. Bruschetta was on toasted French bread with pesto, burrata, fresh tomatoes - came with two slices! Annapolis marina was gorgeous, weather was perfect so there were a lot of boats passing by! Cool to be able to see some of the main USNA buildings from our seats!

Came here for the first time for dinner with a group of friends. Hubby and I ordered the baked oysters, hush puppies, and coconut shrimp appetizer; seafood Greek salad and wedge salad for mains, and; a couple of drinks. Total for us came out to approximately $105. What's hot - Menu. There's something for everyone, including non-seafood, even possibly vegans. The menu isn't long, either, which helps, because it's not overwhelming. - Quality. Delicious! Everything was flavorful and well-seasoned. No weird odors. I loved my baked oysters- great texture and not overly salty. Hubby really liked their coconut shrimp- not overly breaded and a good flavor of coconut. The hush puppies were soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. Their dinner rolls are also served warm and soft, which we all really enjoyed. - Portions. Very good. My salad was enough to get me full and not stuffed. No skimping on the seafood, like the shrimp and crab. Everyone's dishes were good size portions for individuals and to share, but not too much. - Service. Very good. Our group had 6 people, so we chatted for a decent amount of time. The waiter had to come twice to check on us to see if we were ready to order. Very patient. One of our group's husband has a good relationship with some of their staff. When she asked about her husband's friends, the waiter was kind enough to spread the word, so a handful of staff came by to check on her. We also ended up splitting our check amongst us and the waiter got everyone's final balance right. He was so polite about it and on top of his game, which we all appreciated. - Price. Reasonable for the quality and portions. However, it all easily adds up, so be prepared. - Parking. There is a parking lot, which the restaurant will validate. There's a validation machine at the front desk. - Location. Beautiful view of the water nearby. What's not - Service. Highly recommend to make a reservation. This place is popular and busy. They also won't seat you until most or all of your party is there. - Location. Depending on where you're coming from, be prepared for a decent commute time. - Parking. The main option is their parking lot, so availability is dependent on the day and time you come. There's street parking, but it's very limited and not easy to find. Final Answer Would be willing to come back for a special occasion.

We were from out of town, so parking was a little challenging. But our waiter, Adam, was the best; he made sure I ordered a second cocktail. We sat outside overlooking the water, and it was perfect weather. My parents and I tasted each other's food, but my crab cake platter was the best. Don't share the crab cake platter.

Oh my God Carol's Creek is now in our top 10 of all-time best restaurants two big reasons 1) incredible food and 2) incredible server, Mike. Now let me tell you about our nights experience -- my wife and I were new into Annapolis. We were celebrating both our birthdays and we were surprised upon searching for best seafood how few places came up and some with mixed reviews; putting that aside we opted to try Carrol's Creek. We had made a reservation prior to our travels and we were absolutely blown away. We only wish we lived closer, can't drive six hours round trip for dinner. Let me tell you about our evening, we had requested an inside table along the window so we can enjoy the view of the marina considering how hot the stretch was in mid June. We were shown to our table immediately upon arrival and Mike, our server, introduced himself, presented us with a happy birthday note card that was on display on the table, he walked us through the evening's special dishes. so many tasty items. It was hard to choose from, but obviously we did and we chose well. We started off our dinner exploration with fried green tomatoes with crab, and as you can see from the photographs, it was a beautifully presented dish and tasted equally as great . Was fresh crisp and it was nice having chunks of crap. For our main dishes, my wife and I shared two dishes, 1) the Thai shrimp and scallops which blew us away. The flavor was just right with the right amount of spice and also 2) the softshell crap, and Mike went and picked two really nice meaty crabs for me, it was cooked to perfection. It was not greasy overly fried. It was really nice. Pleasant taste where the coating basically surrounded the crab, but didn't permeate the crab , this way you tasted the fresh crab flavor underneath. To our great surprise, we learned that our dinner desserts due to our birthdays were on the house that really put a twinkle in our eyes and thank you to the restaurant staff for that ... we were in heaven, enjoying the lime soufflé and a doughnut bread pudding . After dinner, I went enjoy photographing the evening sunset over the marina. Again, what a wonderful evening and a wonderful tasting experience.

The restaurant is quite nice. We sat on the patio. The wait staff was fabulous and friendly. The food was spectacular

Perfect restaurant for a date night, special occasion, or just a nice dinner outing. They have seating indoors and outdoors. The restaurant is overlooking a beautiful view of the boats and water in downtown Annapolis. The service was very attentive, our waiter John was great! Everything he recommended to us was just as he said it would be. We took my dad here for his birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Per the recommendation, most of our party ordered the cream of crab soup and the rockfish entree. Both were delicious! The fried green tomato appetizer was very good as well, the crab is a nice touch. It was more like a small salad, but very good nonetheless. I would return, we had a lovely time.

A local pointed us to this restaurant after we tried Boatyard when we were trying to find a spot - we had decided to visit Annapolis on the day of their annual Tug of War, so the town was packed. We were able to get seated immediately, and loved the views. There daily special was Lobster Rolls, which were served warm with fries. The lobster was plentiful and cooked perfectly. Will definitely go back when in Annapolis!

The best Sea Scallops we've ever had! Wonderful tastes everywhere, and great presentations with the deep fried phyllo dough on the Scallops. The wine in the Red Wine Onion Soup and Sherry in the Cream of Crab soup are excellent. Nothing is too salty, including the Maryland Crab Dip; it's full of flavors and textures. The view from the covered patio, well it's Annapolis Yacht Basin. The full bar has a great design and is backed up by an extensive wine list. This is full service.

Excellent night! Food was fantastic (cream of crab soup, hush puppies, surf and turf special and crab cakes!) highly recommend! Great rolls too They even brought a complimentary dessert for my husband's birthday! Our Server LaShawn was the best! She made us feel so comfortable there and we will def be back and ask for her! :)

We ate here last evening with a good friend of ours. Although we had been here once before, it was many years ago. I had forgotten what a great view the restaurant offers; especially if you sit outside. We chose to sit inside due to it being very hot yesterday. From the moment we arrived we had a wonderful experience. The two ladies at the hostess stand were very friendly and helpful. We were sat promptly once our entire party had arrived. The restaurant is lovely. It's very clean and well appointed. Our waiter, Dave, was a rockstar! You could tell he was one of their veteran employees, because he knew so much about the menu. He was professional, incredibly personable and super funny. We thoroughly enjoyed him! The food was delicious. Our friend ordered the rockfish and her serving was huge. She said it was delicious. My husband opted for the crabcake sandwich and, like the other dishes, the sandwich was huge . I had the filet mignon. I like my steak medium rare and Often times the cook does not get it right. This steak was prepared perfectly! Or dessert I ordered the coffee and doughnut bread pudding. It was super yummy! The portion was the perfect size to share. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was great. The food was delicious, and the service was amazing. If you're looking for a restaurant to go to for a special occasion, you should definitely give this place a shot! You will not be disappointed.

Food: crab cake bland Steak: average Service: Good Ambiance: Loud, one very loud lady.

We were there for the July 4 holiday. These folks know how to handle such an event. The food was incredible and the service was completely on point. I highly recommend if you are in the area please go spend an evening with these folks.

Carrol's Creek Cafe is one of my top spots in Annapolis. Time and time again, the food and service are consistently excellent. During this visit, I had my go-to, the salmon, and it did not disappoint--it was absolutely delicious. The rest of my group tried the sea scallops, filet mignon, and rockfish, and they all loved their dishes as well. Highly recommend!

We had a group gathering here today with a party of 9. My wife ordered a crab cake platter. I ordered the cream of crab soup and the rockfish tacos. We've experienced plenty of wonderful crab cakes in the MD area over the last 30 years, and this isn't one of them. These were advertised as jumbo lump, and it was devoid of lump and had zero flavor to it. She said her fries were flaccid. I fared better with the cream of crab soup and rockfish tacos. The crab had crab lump in it, and it was supposed to have a bit of sherry in it. I couldn't really tell it had any sherry in it. The rockfish tacos were panko breaded and were tasty, but I couldn't help think how much better they would have been grilled or blackened. This was our first time here and it was over lunch. We might try a different time over dinner.

We checked out this waterfront cafe for dinner one night. The service was terrific and we really enjoyed their signature scallop appetizer. It was so unusual and tasted fabulous. I had a lemony shrimp pasta dish with crab and asparagus that was absolutely divine. It was so light and filled with layers of flavor. Highly recommended. We would definitely return to this terrific place.

First time here, my daughter booked this for Mother's Day. This place is first rate. Heaters on the patio, beautiful interior, delicious enticing menu, interesting craft cocktails. There's something here for everyone. The dessert menu is absolutely decadent. Service was five star. The meals are mouthwatering.

Stopped in for a quick bite after reading about their Cream of Crab Soup. Parking was found easily in the Marina area which is a pay to park lot. The outdoor seating overlooking spa creek and the drawbridge was awesome. We enjoyed looking out over the water and seeing all of the docked boats. Our server was nice and very thorough with everything. He was helpful with the drink lists and great with the kids. I ended up having a couple of local brews and the Cream Of Crab Soup - $12.00 rich with crabmeat and a touch of sherry. Judged Maryland's best. I was a bit worried about the sherry, but thankfully it is just a touch and doesn't sweeten the soup up much. I'm in no way capable of determining it to be Maryland's best, but I can tell you the soup was delicious. It was creamy, had plenty of crab meat, good portion and filling. My wife had the Maryland vegetable crab - $10 with a classic tomato base and a touch of Old Bay. I had a spoonful or two and enjoyed that as well. I'd have liked more old bay in it!! I'm so glad we stopped in for the view, the soup and the friendly atmosphere. Thanks guys!

Staff was so flexible with amending our reservation (time and size of party). We went to celebrate my mid's bday. Beautiful scenery and decor. Our waiter Colin was very friendly and accommodating. The servings were generous and prices were fair. We all loved our meals. Having validated parking on site was a huge plus!

We had a lovely dinner at Carrol's creek. I couldn't get a patio table for the time we wanted but we sat right be a window so we still had a great view! Food was great! Coconut shrimp for an app was nice and light, not overly breaded. Seafood Cioppino is one of my favorites and it was just so good! My husband got the Thai shrimp and scallop and it was delicious too. We got the seasonal shortbread for dessert, nice and light but so tasty. Our waitress was lovely too. It was a great experience!

Nice waterfront location with indoor and outdoor seating. Food was exceptional. It is our first pick when guests are in town.

Great service from walking inside to leaving. Host and hostess were great advising on our validating the parking ticket and walking with us to our table. Sat inside but with a great view of the water. We started with a glass of German reisling, my favorite, and a hefeweisen, one of their 29 rotating taps. We ordered appetizers and salads for our meals at lunch but got everything at once. A great spread! We had the wedge salad and the burrata salad. Very fresh and nice size for our lunch. We also tried the app we had been hearing raving reviews about: the Phyllo covered scallops. Man, what a dish! Little bit of crab and spinach and great sauce. We also tried the crab dip, which was more of a veggie dish with a heart of palm or spinach or artichoke hearts. Good size, but I wish it had more crab in it. Tempted us with dessert but had to get back home to the boys. Def will be back! Jake n kevin

Our lunch on a BUSY day in Annapolis was FANTASTIC!!! SHERRIE was most helpful in giving great customer service ...from getting our party of 7 seated, and going a above and beyond to accommodate us! THANK YOU!!! The food was outstanding, our service from John was GREAT! THANKS AGAIN....we appreciated and had an outstanding lunch!

Carrol's Creek Cafe has a great location and unmatched view. It's absolutely gorgeous looking into the water and luckily, outside seating is plentiful. I have enjoyed every visit I've made to this establishment. I have found that the food is very delicious and waitstaff has been good. I would go here more often if its prices were more wallet-friendly. This is the first Annapolis restaurant I dined at in 2016 as I was applying to the Naval Academy - it was also the last meal I had in Annapolis upon graduating from USNA. Will always have a special place in my heart!

My husband and I came to this tried and true establishment for dinner during Annapolis restaurant week. We lucked into a window side tabIe with a great view of the water. had the scallop appetizer which was delicious. My only note is that the crunchy coating/garnish was excessive for my taste. The Asian shrimp entrée was divine. The sauce was flavorful and the shrimp fresh and healthy in size. My server was personable albeit a bit anxious. Our interaction was mostly pleasant. The lemon sorbet was a tangy flavorful end to our meal. I tasted a bit of my husband's cheesecake and that too was delicious. I am in no way surprised and completely content.

Our second visit to Carol Creek Café for lunch. Our party of five had their lobster special,ahi tuna stack, shrimp salad and a pasta special. Everything was delicious as the pictures will indicate. We were able to sit outside on the deck and it was a beautiful day to be outside and look at the million dollar yachts in the marina. Service was excellent.

Adam was an amazing server. Made great recommendations. The shrimp and crab pasta was a most generous portion and tasted great. The lobster rolls were New England good and the fries a wonderful pairing. Great wine and excellent cocktails completed the meals.

Hear me very clearly ... The Best Butter Sautéed Lobster Roll in the State of MD! Amazing views of the Harbor & the Capital this is a must try! I indulged on the Lobster Roll accompanied with fries. The Rainkiller was the cocktail of choice. Great ambience for lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed because the service was equally outstanding!

Carrol's reminds me of Olive Garden but with more of a homey, welcoming vibe. The hostesses were lovely and while the server could've been a little better, nothing struck a nerve. I came with the parents for my mom's birthday and they had a little letter prepared for her. I also requested an indoor window table and knowing that most times requests under Resy don't really get acknowledged, they made sure to accommodate us. To top it off, we received a complimentary dessert. One difference I noticed about my server Jay is he never gave us the specials of the day so I had no idea about the soft shell crabs and other items until later when I overheard another table. However, he was quite attentive other times making sure our needs were met. The food was incredible. We ordered the sea scallops appetizer that was recommended in most reviews. I found this as possibly the least favorite of the dishes we ordered. It tasted great but it's a lot of fried stuff on a plate. The scallops were perfectly cooked, soft and flavorful inside the fried phyllo dough. On top sat a large fried display. On the very bottom laid some spinach and sauce but I thought there was too much fried stuff on top. We also got a dozen oysters.. very plump and tasty. The cioppino was delicious but a bit salty. The thai shrimp and scallops were very good. Seeing a Thai dish in a largely American menu was alarming but this dish was so good. It carried the slightest heat but was so creamy and had some sticky rice in the middle. The rockfish was also very delicious with a crispy skin, perfectly cooked fish. Lastly, the crab cakes did not disappoint. I was wary from some of the reviews here but they were large and delicious, with plenty of crab meat. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were good too. Last but not least, the dessert was scrummy! We got a complimentary "coffee and donuts" and the bread pudding came out hot, topped with coffee ice cream. There was a whiskey caramel sauce to pour too and mm I can eat this dessert every day. Would love to come back some day.

Had the pleasure of having lunch with some co workers today. Beautiful outdoor views and friendly service. We ordered the scallops for the table and I ordered the lobster pasta for my entree. Neither were flavorful to me. My coworkers enjoyed their entrees. 3.5 stars for the great service, clean establishment, and views. Food was bleh. There's parking (paid) right next to the building. There's street parking as well.

We had father's day dinner here. The view of the water was great. The restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was great. The food was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Ambience is fine dining. Staff is friendly, accommodating and attentive. 5 stars for the cleanliness and service. However the food was a bit disappointing. We went at lunch and had the oysters, empanadas and ahi tartare; the crab soup, shrimp po and salmon blt. Oysters were good and clean. Empanadas were decent- creamy sauce and avocado flavor was good. Soup was fine but oddly sweet and somehow lacked flavor.... It was missing something. A lot of cream and very thick. Ahi tartare sauce was very salty, the fish was fine just overbearing in salt. Salmon blt was good-ish- something, maybe the bacon was just crazy salty! Salmon was cooked amazingly, but something salty in the sandwich sorta disrupted the yumminess. Fries were good. Shrimp po was good except it fell apart easy on the croissant. Either it needs to be cut so the shrimp don't fall out or it needs a different type of bread. We would come back to try other good looking food on the menu, but it won't be our first choice with the items we chose this last go around.

Thai curry with shrimp was probably one of the best I have had. They are a bit pricey..but great service, sea food, and ambiance.

A beautiful setting walking distance from downtown Annapolis. Amazing views especially of the sunset. Be ware a sunset cannon is shot from across the water and is loud but cool. I'd never heard of that before. The server was great. All of the food we order was delicious. The Cream of Crab, Salad, and the fish special with scallops was really good. The patio seating on a beautiful night makes for a perfect evening.
