“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.“

“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!“

“All I can say is, wow. EVERYTHING here is top notch. Better than most Michelin guide (and honestly Michelin starred) restaurants I've been to in DC.Cocktails are excellent. We had 4 off the menu and they were all really well done. And honestly... Everything we ate off the menu was stellar. I have ZERO complaints. The whitefish dip was amazing and the boqueria toast was one of the most delicious and complex things I've eaten... Ever. It's been two days and I am still thinking about it. The tinned fish was also excellent.The atmosphere is clean and modern with a good throwback sailor vibe. Staff were super friendly and helpful. 11/10.My *only* suggestion is to make the menu more GF friendly. I have SO many friends I would want to bring here, but since the menu has a lot of bread items, it would be really hard for them. Our server did say they had GF crackers, but that only helps a tad. I'm hoping they can find some solid GF bread to offer in the future!Truly -- so, so good.. I can't wait to go back.“

We go there all the time and love their food. I called them up and within two hours they were they catering my event. I could not have been so thankful for their response, understanding for the situation, and just their ability to be flexible. The food was amazing as always their service was impeccable and it just shows how they really support our community here in the Cape. They brought me to tears and it made my event so much more special. They will have a place in my heart for what they did to help. 10/10“

“This fun quirky restaurant is just my style. I was staying at a nearby cabin for the weekend, and the owners recommended it Perfect for breakfast with a warm and friendly staff. I highly recommend the pancakes they even offer smaller sized portions of everything! It is important to know that this is a counter seating restaurant (no table service). The unique seating and ordering system may throw off some people, but I actually really enjoyed it. Coffee is help yourself so you can pick your own mug and your own flavor of coffee. Impressed me most was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. When the couple behind me left the restaurant, it took less than 30 seconds for the crew to clear their table and clean it for the next patron. This is definitely my new local favorite“

“Usually very fast service. Give drink order, she returns, give food order, 5 minutes later, food arrives. Don’t even have time to drink the coffee and your food is there. Like everything post Covid, good help is hard to get, so it is possible to get less than good service. But more the exception. When it’s busy, there may be a line. It may seem like a long line and you may think about leaving. Don’t!! The line moves quickly and it’s never more than a 10 minute wait. Unfortunately, they are no longer open 24 hours.

“Great food and service in the ambience of a Parisian brasserie. Wine specials included a bottle of Sancerre Rouge at a really good price point. The charcuterie board is a classic French appetizer with authentic French bread. Our entrees were the roast half chicken & frites and the sautéed veal with mushrooms in calvados. The chicken was fall off the bone tender and the frites, well there's a reason we call them French fries. The veal was likewise so tender and dressed in the calvados sauce. Rich and velvety with a side of potatoes and onions. Carmel was our attentive and efficient server. Food, service, ambience...as they might say in France, “Parfait”!“

BUT THEY HAVE AN UPSTAIRS Private Banquet area that is UNBELIEVABLE. We had a rehearsal dinner here and it was AMAZING- the facility had private bar area, beautiful fireplace dining room- looked like something from Europe or Colonial Williamsburg. The catering staff was outstanding- from the general manager, Salomon- to all the bartenders and waitstaff- they helped us plan and then pull off an amazing event. Could not recommend more highly- so grateful to O'Brien's for providing a perfect venue and memorable event to our family.“
