Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s Dining Guide to Annapolis and Baltimore | Eater DC

"For a more elevated meal in Annapolis, Moore recommends an upscale option: “If you want something a little bit more upscale go to [this place].” He cites it as the choice when guests or an occasion call for a nicer dining experience." - Claudia Rosenbaum

Exceptional! Everything was exceptional - The service, food and location We were the last reservation on Christmas Eve and we were not rushers in or out. The service was great, and the food was outstanding. The clam chowder was the best I’ve had, salads were great and the filet was amazing. R the he desserts were perfect as well. I really don’t think they could have done much better.

Today we came to the second time, and since we really liked it the first time, we came again to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere in Annapolis. We also brought some friends from D.C. to this lovely restaurant we had enjoyed before. However, one of the servers — her name was Alicia or Eliza , I believe — behaved quite rudely from the beginning. When we politely asked for a few things, she responded with a harsh attitude. There wasn’t necessarily anything racist, but she was extremely impolite. For example, when we asked for ekstra hot water for tea, she replied disrespectfully, saying, “I only have two hands.” Thıs not acceptable!!! It completely ruined our mood. Although the manager later came over, apologized, and offered us complimentary desserts, the experience was already spoiled. It’s very disappointing that such a beautiful and elegant restaurant — one that encourages formal attire — allows such unprofessional service. It was truly a big disappointment and an upsetting day for us. We wont be back!! After coming home, I checked whether the issue we experienced was unique to us or if others had similar problems. Bu I found several reviews mentioning rude service and unprofessional behavior from the waitstaff. Clearly, this is not an isolated incident, and the management needs to address and correct this situation immediately. Don’t let poor service ruin your day — especially when you’re paying premium prices and expecting a fine dining experience!

I went to Chart House for an evening out with a friend, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, dim, moody lighting, high ceilings, and a beautiful view of the water. It feels very upscale, yet comfortable and inviting, with a warm, almost homelike atmosphere rather than anything stiff or formal. What truly stood out was the service. Our waitress, Tiaa, along with Ryan who was shadowing her, provided the best service I’ve ever experienced from a wait staff. Their pacing was exceptional, they gave us time to think through the menu, walked us through options without rushing, kept us informed about when food was coming, and struck the perfect balance between attentiveness and space. On top of that, they were genuinely great conversationalists, which made the entire evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. The service elevated the whole experience and is the reason I would return.

We have been to this so called "fine dining place-casual attire required" 2 times. At first we like the atmosphere and the waiter attitudes toward us and the service. Food was ok. We tried calamari, chopped salad the "eye of the ribeye" hoping that we would have the most delicious steak, unfortunately the small portion meat came with some burned outside and raw inside. Having this experience we still like the atmosphere and decided to visit again with our friends. Unfortunately, the second experince was worse that the first one. The young waitress (named Elysa or Alicia) was rude and unwilling to service from the beginning. The last point which made us really angry; when ever we asked for extra hot water for tea, she responded rude and angry "I have just 2 hands etc..." Whenever we talked to the manager, she gave her apologies and offered the desert on the house. But the waitress already spoiled the vibe. it is unfortunate to encounter waiters/waitresses who display uncontrolled emotional reactions and disturbing attitudes towards guests in a restaurant like this. Since this was a bad experience for all of us, my review is 1 star and I dont think we will go this restaurant again.

The food was extremely good, we loved it. Our server was amazing. The only thing was that we had a reservation and it seemed like we just walk-in, it took like a 20 minutes wait, but it was worth it.

Read some of the recent reviews that were less than stellar. Tonight when we dined on a weekday night at Chart House, I am pleased to say that everything was well executed. Our first visit to this establishment for a belated birthday meal. Whitney was our waiter, she was knowledgeable and answered the questions we had about the menu. My husband had the onion baked oysters, I had the crispy escargot followed by the beet salad (without the radish as I requested they be omitted). The baked oysters (6 medium sized) were rich, flavorful, fresh, and tasty. I am a fan of Oysters Rockefeller and this version was as good if not better than that! The crispy escargot each served in a mushroom cap were surprisingly good. I had only enjoyed the escargot served in shells with garlic and butter in the past and this presentation was unique and pleasing. I love beets, and the beet salad, goat cheese, and thin crispy toast was completely delicious. I enjoyed it thoroughly. For our entrees, my husband had the whole Branzino fish served with fresh vegetables, a large serving. Being experienced with eating fish with bones he enjoyed it, I had a taste and the texture was soft and tender . I had the Rockfish and Crab with asparagus spears and a side of Lobster Risotto. The Rockfish was prepared perfectly, the asparagus spears super tender and the risotto did not disappoint. For dessert we shared the chocolate lava cake which we ordered at the beginning to allow for the 30 minutes that we read was needed. It was as described and we would recommend it. The entire evening was pleasant, the serving pace was perfect, the assistant manager stopped by and chatted with us, made us feel welcome. The view out of the large windows over the water with the reflected lights added to the lovely setting. Would recommend and make an effort to return in the future. Well done!

We came here for our anniversary, and overall it was fine but nothing memorable. The food was good, but it didn’t really stand out. Our waitress wasn’t very friendly, though she was okay and got the job done. For a special occasion, I expected a bit more in terms of service and atmosphere.

What a delightful evening we had celebrating our anniversary. The service was attentive and the atmosphere romantic with beautiful views of the Spa Creek. I had the SHELLFISH LINGUINE which was loaded with lobster | shrimp | mussels | clams | scallops garlic butter | bone marrow toast all in a broth that was seasoned just enough to bring out the flavors of the shellfish. I started with a cup of NE Clam Chowder which was one of the best I’ve ever had. It was thick with clams, creamy and with a light savory flavor. I would highly recommend Chart House Prime for a wonderful evening out.

we've been there twice in the last month once for a business meeting and once for a birthday celebration. Both occasions, the food was outstanding. The service was superior. The appetizers are incredible. Definitely a five star.

Chart House Prime is the perfect place to dine with a fantastic view of the water. Our food was decent. I had the create your omelette with hash browns, fruit, and a side of turkey bacon. My wife enjoyed the smash burger with shoestring cut fries. We also decor have the crab soup and Caesar salad. We washed our food down with a few mimosas. We received the best service ever from our waiter Terry. He was enthusiastic and personable. The Chart House Prime Annapolis is a sophisticated restaurant with elegant dining options, and impeccable service.

For the past 20+ years (except for the short period when this restaurant was closed after flood damage back in 2003), we have taken our daughter to dinner at this Chart House for her birthday in December. This year was her 30th, and we were really looking forward to this dinner. For context, our family (adult "kids", their spouses, their kids, etc) is a pretty big party -- these dinner reservations are typically for 6-10 people. Last night our reservation was for eight plus a baby - and I made the reservation roughly 3 weeks in advance. When I made the reservation, I was told that I couldn't get all of us together at the same table - but we would have two adjacent tables. Early on the day of the dinner, I called the restaurant to let them know that our grandson (the baby) was sick - so our reservation would be for 7 instead of 8 + baby. I figured that was considerate (for the restaurant's management and other patrons), and I again asked about being put together at one "table," but I was told that we'd still be at two adjacent tables on this special birthday. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly of this review - now that you have the context. (1) Yes, two tables. BUT... despite being told earlier that day, and despite being told we'd be adjacent at the hostess table -- No, not adjacent. No, not the same server. The second table was sufficiently far away that we couldn't see our daughter - and obviously could not communicate other than by TEXTING across the restaurant. Also - there were tables that "flipped" literally 5-10 minutes after we were seated that WERE adjacent to our 4-top... We would have been happy to have waited 10 minutes to make that happen... (2) Yes, the food was very good. We ordered both seafood and beef. Speaking for myself, my blacked Ahi was sublime - simply amazing. My son-in-law couldn't say enough good things about his prime rib, and others at our table loved the seafood that they ordered. BUT... when ordering, we asked if there were any specials that night, and we were told that "it" was sold out - Really?.... at 6:15pm? (3) Ambiance? Well.... Wow... the music was loud. This isn't a bar in downtown Annapolis - it is a restaurant, where I'm spending about $500 for dinner. As such, it was difficult to talk across a 4-top table. Also, I can honestly say that I never expected to hear AC/DC played at dinner at THIS restaurant. Are there times when I'd love to hear AC/DC... Yes. Then? No. BUT.... the holiday decorations were very nice. (4) Service? Well... while our servers were pleasant and professional, they were very busy, and the resulting service was sub par for our tables. For comparison, on our 40th anniversary in August at this restaurant, the service was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about that service experience - so, it should be said that this restaurant CAN do much better. On this occasion, however, the server that seated us, took our orders, brought us our drinks, and we seldom saw her again. I think she was pulled to help with another table(s) (maybe the private party?). Consequently, I was never asked if I wanted a second drink. At the end of dinner, we had been told that the two servers for our two tables would coordinate, but it didn't seem like they were talking at all (especially when I was trying to pay). I hustled across the restaurant, collecting two bills, giving two tips, etc... That could have gone so much easier. With all of that said, I'd have to say that the title of this review should be, "Disappointed."

Had the pleasure of dining here on my birthday. It's weird, because I haven't been to Annapolis to eat in like forever... lately it's been Baltimore, Columbia... but Annapolis wasnt on my radar. The person who took me out lives in Eastern Shore so this was our middle ground. At first glance you'll think the parking situation is horrible, but they actually have a parking lot next to the restaurant. When you walk in you see the semi open Kitchen concept and the nice bar. In the dining room they have it situated where you have a nice view from almost every point. They have a great cocktail menu and offer a service where they make drinks table side. I tried the Old Fashioned.. it had a truffle in it . For appetizers I had the Crispy Escargot and my friend had the Ahi Poke, that was a pretty large portion that can be shared or even eaten as an entree. For the mains, my friend had the Seabass, and I had the Shellfish Linguine. The Linguine was good, the server removed my plate before I was done so I didn't finish. And for dessert BIRTHDAY CAKE! I feel like this is the perfect date night spot or Holiday Office party place.

So the atmosphere was very nice very intimate which I assume is what they were going for. The service was great the server was friendly accommodating and personable. I got the wok friend fish and it was good. I do wish the fish had maybe a sweet and sour sauce to go on it or maybe fajitas vegetables to make it pop. But as is the fish was still good. The vegetables were fresh, crisp, and seasoned well. The sticky rice was just sticky rice. We also got the seafood tower which great the poke tuna was fresh and melted in your mouth good. All and all a great meal with a great view of the water. If you have a date and want to impress them or want an intimate restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or valentine's day this is a good spot.

I absolutely love this place for happy hour, meeting friends, special occasions and date night. The ambiance on the water is alluring. I will say everytime I come here, I must get the grilled and chilled shrimp, my favorite Most recently I visited for my birthday. The service is always top tier. We of course had the grilled and chilled shrimp, the lamb chops and the whole bronzino. Everything was absolutely delicious. I will say in the fall/winter on the water sitting close to the windows can be quite brisk. I definitely recommend a reservation as this place is pretty popular. Parking is free, but can be difficult at times.

I came here with a small party, and it was lovely. The views, the restaurant, the food, and staff were great. The oysters were especially lovely, and we had a few of the sushi rolls. I went when it was late, but would love to come earlier in the day to enjoy more views of the water.

Service: we sat at the bar but OMG, the bartenders were amazing. Very kind and patient even towards the end of the evening. Food: we had the seafood tower and edamame. Both delicious Ambiance: well this was on the marina so it was pretty fancy. Interior was very clean and sophisticated. Absolutely had an a blast trying the specially choreographed cocktails. It was probably one of the best I've had in the DMV and I've had my far share of drinks in DC and VA. Annapolis you did not disappoint a first time visitor.

We arrived 10 minutes early for our 6:45pm reservation. Felt odd that they had us wait until 6:45 passed to get seated. Oh well. After a brief 10 minute wait we were seated at a table adjacent to the open fire pit. It was definitely warm. I used the large wine menu to deflect the heat from me. Our waitress Alex was superb. She was on top of every detail and didn't miss a beat. We didn't need to remind her of anything. Onto the food. I had the 10pz filet and creamed spinach. Both were very good. Wifee had the Lobstertail and rated it 9 out of 10. She said although it was slightly overcooked it was very flavorful. Mixed veggies were phenomenal and perfectly seasoned. And again, did I say Alex was superb?! Top notch restaurant in Annapolis IMHO.

Really good food, atmosphere & service. The rolls were phenomenal and fresh. Only advice is to expand your ingredient list for drinks - they didn't have lychee which was shocking for a full service bar serving seafood, which is normal to have with lychee martini! overall 10/10! Will return.

Waited for over an hour. Had a reservation for 6 pm Dec 13 which was made in February. They were so packed people were siting for HOURS, and people left without being seated because they were no help in even trying to seat anyone. No accommodations. People EVERYWHERE. The manager at six PM on Dec 13 was walking around making small talk with the regulars barely even doing anything. They need to plan better when they know times will be bus. They are poorly managed, it's a shame me and my family truly liked this restaurant and have been here many times. No one was happy and were just waiting for people to finally leave. I do not recommend this restaurant if you are not okay with eating 1-4 hours.

Food was pretty good. The steak needed more seasoning. Service was a little slow but overall ok. We needed food packaged to go and that took some time. Ambiance was very nice. Wish the lighting was a little brighter. Overall good experience

Try this place for happy hour at 4:30. Delicious small plates to go along with your cocktails. They have great mocktails too. I really liked their Blood Orange and Sage Mocktail. The Shishito Peppers were a hit at our table too!

Food, top quality from the starters to the main course. Teaa (waiters) explained everything making this an unforgettable experience. Orderded the Infused and Fogged drink and let's say more like an experience. The drink was properly made, flavored, and just as described, smoothed the gyn to the point of enjoyment. Ambiance, area and plenty space between parties, allowed for a great time, lighting and the view was just as expected, seaworthy. Will return for sure, that Clam Chowder was something especial.

Always love going to Chart House. Staff goes above and beyond. Food is beautifully presented and many unique flavor profiles. I have never been disappointed with Chart House. The room is spacious and high ceilings like in a boathouse. It's not too loud and the house dj does a great job with choosing music that flows.

Chart House was the perfect place for us to have our last dinner of 2024! The ambiance was jammin with great tunes and lots of people out. I ordered an old fashioned to get things started and wow was it a generous pour! We decided to start with the cream of crab soup and butternut squash salad. The soup had lots of lump crab and was a great start. We then had the eye of eye the ribeye and Chilean sea bass. Wow!!! The sea bass was cooked and seared to perfection with perfect flakiness and the lobster risotto was amazing. And the ribeye was cooked and seared with a nice char on outside and perfectly medium rare on the inside. The mashed potatoes was delicious and nice and garlicky. And to finish was had the key like pie and mini lava cake. There were even fireworks over the water at 9pm right as we were starting our main course. Amazing night!!!

Don't waste your money, but more importantly your time and sanity! As a longtime Santa Barbara resident and former loyal patron of the original Chart House location, I came into this evening with high expectations and a sense of nostalgia. Unfortunately, what was meant to be a meaningful sendoff dinner for my daughter, who is heading to the U.S. Naval Academy, turned into a night of disappointment, frustration, and embarrassment. From the moment we walked in, it was clear something was off. The hostess was visibly sweating--because the place isn't adequately air-conditioned. That set the tone. Once seated, it took far too long to receive even a glass of water. Bread didn't arrive for over an hour, and only after we reminded the staff. Water glasses remained empty unless we flagged someone down. The service was inattentive at best and completely neglectful at worst. Our dinner--two appetizers, two entrées, and one side--took so long to arrive that we nearly closed the place down. We were seated at 7:30 PM and were still waiting on food well into the evening. This wasn't a multi-course tasting menu--it was a simple order that any properly managed kitchen could have executed with ease. To their credit, the Alaskan king crab was outstanding. But the New York strip? Unremarkable and far from the caliber expected at these prices. For what this restaurant charges, the experience was nothing short of unconscionable. It's like being robbed in plain sight--paying fine dining prices for what feels like a second-rate operation. Chart House used to represent quality and consistency. Today, it's a joke. A sad shell of what it once was. If you're considering spending your hard-earned money here, don't. Annapolis has far better options where service is valued and guests are treated with basic respect.

We went to Chart House Prime the first time for my son's birthday. We made a reservation ahead of time, however we still need to wait for 30 mins to be seated. Then it took another 15-20mins bread. Is on memorial weekend, they said that they are short staff. I felt like the management could do some work here. High end restaurants, shouldn't let customers waited for 30 mins if you have reservations. The service is extremely slow. On the other hand, the food is really good. And the restaurant is beautiful. I think I might try one more time and hopefully will be better next time

Nine years later, and my original criticism remains: Chart House still suffers from multiple personality disorder. On Saturday evening, I was looking forward to an upscale dinner on the water, but things started off inauspiciously when Chart House seated me (after my reserved time) in the bar-adjacent area. I was then treated to the musical selections of DJ "Track Playa," and while cacophonies like Sabrina Carpenter's club remix assailed my ears, I sat in increasing darkness as the sun set with nothing but disquieting blue light emitting from the restaurant's sparse lamps. Several nearby patrons had to use the flashlight functions of their phones to illuminate menus, and the staff confessed that they have trouble seeing during food delivery. Chart House: please increase the brightness of the lights (and get rid of the blue) during dinner time. Nobody wants to eat a $500 dinner In Da Club, but if we're forced to, we'd at least like to see our food.

Went here for a co-worker's going away, the food was good and plenty. It is on the "pricey" side but as one expect when you visit a high end place. I'm not a big seafood eater (yes I know it's surf & turf place - but this was the choice of the honoree). So I found it kind of hard to choose something I wanted - but ended up getting a wedge salad which was quite good. And chicken with potatoes (sorry I can't recall the name). Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It is right by the water and there is no designated parking for the place, you will need to make sure you arrive in time to find a spot in the lot across the street. I suppose you do get what you paid for - I would recommend to those who want to go someplace different and try something new.

Very busy place, though it was Valentine's Day. I assume it's probably bustling most days. The ambiance was great and included a dj. Very spacious restaurant with plenty of seating. I started with a glass of wine and the smoke + luge. The beef tartare was nice, though I wished it had a tad more seasoning. The bone marrow butter was a nice touch. I followed with the monarch margarita that was quite delicious and refreshing. My last dish was the belly + the beast. The pork belly was good, however the sauce crystallized a bit in some areas, so it was a little hard to chew at times. Wished the flavor was slightly spicier, but it was fine. The charred octopus with the chimichurri wasn't as good as I had hoped. The octopus was cooked perfectly, however I wished there was a touch of citrus or other flavor (chimichurri was very herbaceous). The sweet peppers were a nice touch. Overall, a busy place with a great view that most likely will require reservations, unless you get there at the right time.

Late Tues evening birthday appetizers, dessert, and drinks. Ambiance was fantastic and restaurant was beautiful. Had the tenderloin slider - best I have ever had (medium ofcourse). Do not miss the creme brulee Tasting for dessert - the peach Bourbon was other worldly. Sushi was ok - beautofully prepared. Great and thoughtful service!

This restaurant is right next to the water in Annapolis so you have a nice view while eating. The prime rib was decent but I felt like I've had better prime rib in other places. The sautéed mushrooms were good and so was the chicken. Overall, I had a good experience.

Our table of two couples arrived on time for our 4:30 reservation on a Sunday. The restaurant was only about 2/3rds full during our 2 1/2 hr visit. There were problems with the food and service. I had the tomahawk Wagyu steak. It was clearly sliced without resting, so that most of the steak's juices had run out and was on the serving platter. I ordered it medium rare, but it was served rare. Further, the 32 ounce steak was undersized. Very disappointing. Others ordered the rockfish with crab. That was served under seasoned and bland. The fourth entree was not available (scallops with bourbon peach sauce). We were not informed of this problem until the other entrees were almost ready to be served. The substitute entree was limited. The appetizers and wine were the highlight of the meal. We had the calamari and crab dip. Desserts were good, but very slow to be delivered. It was clear that the restaurant was understaffed based on the service and upkeep of the restaurant. For example, the men's room had an overflowing trash container. We were having a special celebration. I could not recommend this for a full meal. Drinks and appetizers would be fine if that's all you wanted.

I was in town made reservations and realized we were at the other location. I called to see if we were able to push our reservation and they were very accommodating. There was a short wait when we arrived. The atmosphere was amazing. I felt like I had the best seat in the house. We sat right by the fire and right behind the Dj who played a very good mix. Aiden was our server and he was top tier he gave the best service! I definitely will request him when I come back. Drinks: pomegranate tequila lemon drop 10/10 tiki 10/10 espresso martini 10/10 Food: blackened sea bass 10/10 side of shrimp 7/10 lobster risotto 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND creamy spinach 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dessert: cheesecake with strawberry 10/10 I camt forget the bathroom had a nice vibe as well there was a candle lit and a cart with feminine products. I love that. Overall an amazing experience, phenomenal food. We had one mishap and they were so quick with fixing it and making sure we were happy!

I enjoyed the chicken and waffles. I liked the crust of the chicken very crunchy. I didn't expect them to make the flight at the table but it was a fun and amusing experience. All the flavors were delicious. Others I ate with complained about cold food.

Don't go unless you want hearing loss with a side of average food. The music playing for dinner service at 6:30 pm on a Saturday was reminiscent of a club over an upscale restaurant. It was so loud I couldn't hear the person sitting directly next to me. We asked multiple people and times for the music to be lowered and were told that the DJ kept turning up the music. It was horrible - it ruined what would have been at least an average dinner service. The food was okay on its own. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were overcooked. Incredibly rubbery. The calamari was good, nice presentation, even amount of sauce. I had the Chilean sea bass and it was not with the money. The risotto was very, very dry and sauce broken. The fish also tasted like rubber. The Mud Pie was the best part. Even though it seemed like it was going to be one note when it came out, the flavor were a nice range of chocolate and textures varied with the cookie bottom. Highly recommend the desserts.

It could and should have been much better. With family in from out west, a nice brunch by the water in Annapolis we thought, would be a great idea. Wrong. We have been to Chart House's across the US but not to the Annapolis location in many years. While we had a reservation and arrived about 7 minutes before, we were told our table was being set up. When it was past our reservation time, we were told again our table was being set up. There were about 20 seated parties in the restaurant, so setting up a table should not have taken 10+ minutes with a reservation. Strike one. Our server was pleasant enough, but the table we sat at (7 in the party) was tight for us to fit in. We ordered our brunch items. As non-alcoholic drinkers, most ordered Iced tea. When they arrived, we could see right through the glasses. They were so watered down in appearance and taste. Even the refills were the same. It's almost as if they were short on tea bags and were stretching what they had. Strike two. When the supporting staff placed our meals down, they noted the plates were hot. When we tasted our brunch items, 6 noticed that while their plates were hot, the food was not. The 7th was served a cold plate because of the item. We had to ask for water refreshes 2x during the meal as some of us didn't drink the watered-down iced tea. Based on other reviews, dinner seems the better meal to choose. If searching for a brunch location, look for another one. Nothing we ordered was exceptional in flavor or worth returning for...so, Strike 3. Water views don't make that much of a difference if the meal is not enjoyable and you leave frustrated after the dining 'experience.' UPDATE: A few days later, at a great Italian restaurant in DC where our party met up again for another meal, all suggested i amendment my review from 2 stars to 1. They were still, days later, dissatisfied with the meal and experience.

Loved this restaurant. This was our first stop for dinner when we got to Annapolis. The vibe is fantastic, the tall ceilings, ocean view and the Christmas decor were outstanding and made this a lovely experience. The Caesar salad was so amazing, served in a hardened cheese bowl and with peppers, among other things, we raved about the salad. The cream of crab soup was also very good- a little salty but very good nonetheless. The Eye of Ribeye was cooked to perfection, and was so so tasty. I added a crab cake which was okay, it came in some sauce which I would've preferred to have on the side but the crab cake itself was fantastic. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars was slow service. Our waiter took a long time to offer us refills, forgot to bring our bread until after the meal while we were doing dessert cocktails. Speaking of dessert cocktails, we tried the soufflé espresso martini. It's kind of an experience for the price of the drink. They make a frothy whipped topping at the table and pour it over the drink itself which gives you something to eat with a spoon while drinking the cocktail. I personally didn't love the froth, but it was tasty and a cool experience. Overall, very pleased. The food and atmosphere are fantastic!

Beautiful views and great service. This restaurant has a nice ambiance and you can't beat the views plus it was my daughter's birthdays. The restaurant gave the girls a nice card. My daughters enjoyed their meals and drinks. We will be back again soon. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

Chart House has a great happy hour (I go for the food), so I stopped by to treat myself. I started with firecracker shrimp which comes with a side of crisp rice noodles. It's tempura fried, lightly breaded, coated with kimchi sauce, & it's yummy. It's supposed to be spicy but it's not which is I'm fine for me. The prime lip sliders are delicious. They are melt in your mouth good. Just a right amount of horseradish, a little bit of cheese, caramelized onions, lots of thinly slice to meat, lightly toasted bread, & au jus. They only gave me one small container of au jus, so I would definitely recommend getting two.

I was with a large party for a meeting. They had about 5 wait staff for us. They were attentive .All of them were great..1 Hispanic woman had a very heavy accent so we had to constantly repeat what ever we asked her. When she would respond back we had to have her repeat herself,but she did get it right.A mixed green sald was good and cut into smaller portion so as to not have a half of a lettuce leaf stuck to your fork. The dressing and heirloom tomatoes were a great combination.We ordered the medium sirloin, and sides. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was a little dry but was very good. The sauce they had with it was a good addition. The lumpy potatoes were good. Inside is designed very nice with plenty of bottles of wine. They also had a sushi bar sitting in the middle of the entrance area. We will try something else like the king salmon next time..

Ambience of this place its romantic. Its located by the water and surrounded by beautiful sailboats. Service was great and everyone is very attentive. Steak melts in your mouth and chicken is juicy. I would recommend ordering their crab cheese dip.

Sat and had dinner at the bar. Sleek space in a great waterfront location in Eastport. The smokey oyster appetizer was good but pricey for what you get. The blackened sea bass, however, was sublime. Note:it's not advertised as blackened on the menu, but they'll prepare it that way. Looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Excellent food, fantastic ambience and great customer service. I didn't love the hard butter, but that's ok. Our favorite was the beautiful seafood tower. The prime rib dish was phenomenal. We also loved the brusell sprouts. We had a great dining experience.

Decided to go to Chart house prime to have some dinner, and maybe a view of the water. We were told by the host when we walked in that there were no tables available, but the bar seating was open. I looked, and there were a bunch of restaurant tables available, but maybe no staff to wait on them?? We decided to sit at the bar area and get some dinner. Not my ideal choice, but if nothing else is available, then I'm ok with the bar. I did find it a little odd that there was a DJ playing club music in a nice restaurant, loud enough for the entire place to hear it. No big deal though. We sat down, and after 25 minutes of waiting, I went to the bar to ask if a waiter was available, or if I needed to order at the bar. I stood there for at least five minutes while multiple bartenders walked past me, without acknowledging me. I finally had to go to the other end of the bar and chase down a bartender to get some assistance. I was told that they would be right with us. The bartender finally came over and took our drink order. It was a little frustrating because we were seated directly across from the bar. The bartenders looked at us multiple times, and multiple waiters walked by, but no one ever acknowledged us. After our drink order was taken, one of the same waiters that walked past us multiple times without acknowledging us, came and took our order. The bartender brought us our adult beverages, but after waiting another ten minutes, I had to go to the bar and ask for my soda, which was in the order I placed with the waiter. I ordered the wedge salad, with blackened ahi tuna. My wife ordered a salad, with a filet. The food came, and was delicious. Our drinks were also very good. I was very disappointed with the service. Not that we spent a lot of money, but $200 for a lite dinner with drinks, I'd expect at least someone to greet us after sitting down, and maybe remember to bring my soda after ordering. Don't make me go to the bar and get it myself. The location and ambiance was nice, but the service was subpar.

I had such an exquisite time here. What a way to bring in the New Year's. Everything was delicious, from the warm bread and 3 dipping choices, to the cream of crab soup, the Lambchops were cooked to perfection and juicy to the most creamiest mash potatoes I have ever tasted. The Crispy Calamari was the best I have ever had. The cherry cheesecake and chocolate lava cake was perfection. I always finish off my meal with an espresso martini, very "Impressive" lol. Plus the Butterfly Effect Cocktail was so beautiful to watch being made. The atmosphere was chic and relaxing. And that ocean view, oh my. I will definitely be back to try more fabulous dinner options.

My husband and I drive in for Baltimore to Annapolis a few times a year to visit Chart House Prime and the restaurant never disappoints. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and were also craving the CrabStack and Sushi. The manager Josh remembered us and gave us a warm welcome back. The stand out though was Leah while recently new to the team she was amazing! She was attentive, offered recommendations, and ensure we felt valued and heard. She provided exceptional service and went the extra mile to help celebrate my husbands birthday. This made the hour ride well worth the while. Leah keep up the outstanding work and Josh thanks for always remembering us. Cheers the Johnson's

We ordered two flights of mimosas and to our surprise they were made table-side. The blackberry was my favorite, I recommend if you like sweet drinks. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, it was served over a bed of lobster risotto and roasted tomato beurre blanc. It was delicious! Our server was great and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. The restaurant was on the water and the ambience was relaxing. I can't wait to visit Annapolis again and eat here!
