“Twain's has some great live music. The staff is generally very friendly. They have a nice selection of food and drink choices. That being said the floor space in front of the stage is small. It's difficult to navigate and very cramped, especially If you have mobility issues. If you enjoy live music and want to be close to stage, without issues, this not the venue. People get drunk, agitated and aggressive in the small space and it ruins the vibe. I've had 6 foot or taller men literally put hands on me, and push me out of the way when there is not space for them several times, to the point of bruising. If the stage area was more welcoming, it would be my goto for live music because the line up is awesome and it's local.“
“I can't recommend this place enough!!! The restaurant is absolutely delicious and the service is impeccable. My husband actually decided to get married here after eating dinner in the restaurant. The owners are wonderful and the chef has an incredible pallet based on the menus and wine pairings. They truly provide the best most stress free experience when we were planning all the way through the ceremony. Super wonderful and cozy for a date night and perfect for an intimate/ medium size wedding!“
“A step up for Annapolis and West Street. Nice atmosphere - a bit more upscale than you would expect. Nice wine list by the glass and bottle. Reasonable.Menu is a bit limited but what they do offer they do well. Farm to table. Had the catfish -excellent. Chicken a bit dry but nice sauce. Presentation was best I have seen in annapolis. Nice app selection. Service was excellent! Great deserts. Will be back.“
“We recently hosted a baby shower party for our daughter at the Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge in Annapolis. The staff made this event incredibly memorable, and it was easy to arrange and pull off. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the service was the best. Thanks so much to Tom Hanna and his staff. :-)“
“Food here can be hit or miss. You usually can't go wrong with the appetizers, but I feel that every other time I go to True Food Kitchen I pick the wrong entrée and leave unsatisfied. That said, the last time I went I had the butternut squash pizza and it was delicious!“
“We went on a Friday night, and boy was it busy. It was about a 45 min wait, but we didn't mind. It was worth the wait! We ordered clams, skirt steak and pizza. Everything was delicious and fresh. Overall, we would definitely be back...one of my fave pizzas ever!“
“We had a table reservation, but ended up staying at the bar because we were having so much fun there! The bar team is super knowledgeable and personable...and make a mean cocktail! We had the deviled eggs, mussels, and pizza...all outstanding. If we lived locally, we'd be regulars for sure! p.s. the deviled eggs were the best we've ever had...yes, they are that good!“
“After we were turned away from Harry Browne's because there was only one waitress and she couldn't handle additional guests, we saw this place and were delighted by the woman at the counter who was so warm and friendly and a pure delight. The food was delicious and came out FAST! We were surprised at how quickly 5 orders (sandwiches, salad, and loaded potatoes) all came out boom boom boom .... but the woman at the counter said it best, "we've been doing this for 28 years, we have it down." I loved seeing her chit chat with customers and making them each feel welcomed. Definitely loved the service and the food and wouldn't have even thought to try it until we stopped in front of the cafe wondering where to go eat at 2pm on President's Day. Definitely recommend!“

“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!“
“Eating at the Picantillo is always a wonderful experience. Whenever my husband and I visit my parents, this is one of our favorite spots to eat with them. The food is always great (my favorites being the smothered burrito and the chimichanga) and the service is always excellent.“
“We gave this place a try last week when we had a friend staying with us from out of town. It is about what you'd expect from the branding and menu! Our server was super friendly and on the ball with refilling our drinks. There was a band warming up on a Saturday night around 6/630, but the waitress said they didn't start playing until later that night (like 8 or 9pm, I forget the exact time!). It seemed like it would be loud when they started playing, though. The menu was diverse and had tons of options for everyone. We ordered two appetizers (loaded cauliflower/Brussels sprouts and steamed shrimp). Two of us ordered burgers and the third ordered a salad. The appetizers came out quickly and then less than five minutes later our entrees came out- we could have used slower pacing between the two to relax and enjoy our meal. All of the food was good- although it wasn't amazing, everything was solid. Our only complaint was that some of the shrimp were overcooked, but the majority were cooked well. While we were able to get seated right away, there was a few groups waiting by the time we left. Overall, we are glad we gave this place a try and will likely be back!“
“I've been to Allison's probably 20 times, maybe more - and I've never had a bad meal. They prepare consistently outstanding meals. If you want a great meal, make reservations at Allison's. You won't be disappointed.“

“Idk what they do with their crab dip but it’s so airy and delicious. The pretzel/bread it comes in is so good it’s insane. The bartenders here are also incredible and super accommodating! We loved this place when it was Magothy seafood and we were so skeptical when it became the point…we’re fools. They gave this place such a glow up.Parking: There are a ton of spots all over the marina. Just make sure you’re noting if the spot has signs for marina parking only. There are only a few and the signs will make them really obvious :)“
“Loved coming here for a quick causal breakfast. The food is great and the prices are even better! Super reasonably priced for the quality you are getting. I ordered the poached eggs with steak and hash browns. They even let you have a croissant as your choice of bread. My mom got the egg and cheese sandwich because she is vegetarian. Also they are small dog friendly! Would definitely recommend this place!“
“Had the Garden Salad with Italian dressing. Followed by the pepper steak and rice, which wasn't exactly what I expected. The steak was slightly overcooked and the salad left something to be desired.The waitress was great and Happy Hour drinks were more than reasonable. The overall ambiance was folksy and I would definitely visit again, but next time I will refrain from ordering the pepper steak and rice.“

“I've walked past Martini Bar a ton of times but never stopped for a drink. I finally stopped by for a drink when I was flying out of BWI last month. My martini (I went with a classic dirty vodka martini, but they have a full menu of martinis and other cocktails) was good, and I really loved all of outlets for charging. The service was really good, and it was a great place to have a cocktail (or did I have two?) and do a little work or reading while waiting for a flight.“

“Took a first-time guest to Cooper's Hawk and initially seated on the patio. However, discomfort from the temperature led us to request assistance from Manager Al, who promptly relocated us to a more comfortable area. Our server, Rorie, provided attentive service throughout the evening. The wine tasting experience, guided by Amy and Dee, was enlightening, helping my family member grasp the differences between the three tasting types. Thank you to Al, Rorie, Amy, and Dee for ensuring a memorable first-time visit and creating lasting memories for us.“
“I can’t recommend Ashling enough they are a dream to work with! The food was amazing all I heard throughout the night was how it was the best wedding food people have ever had. They are so organized and on top everything they really help guide you to your perfect vision. Danielle is not only amazing at her job but an amazing person she’s is very warm and friendly after meeting her I felt so much more at ease and suddenly everything wasn’t scary anymore! She also came up with so many wonderful ideas that I certainly would’ve never thought of. If you get the privilege to work with Danielle just know your day with be perfect and everything you dream of!!!!“
“The food at Silver Diner was incredible!! Visiting from Australia, and was the perfect place to go. Olu was our waiter, and he was super lovely. Was able to have a good laugh with him and helped us chose what to eat. 10/10 would recommend :)“
“Stop everything and head straight to this boardwalk fries restaurant! I can't even begin to describe how incredible the cheese steak and fries were – it's like a taste of heaven on a plate. The cheese steak was loaded with juicy, flavorful meat and melted cheese, perfectly complemented by the crispy, golden fries. And let me tell you, the portion sizes were HUGE – I couldn't believe my eyes when the food arrived. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, leaving me craving more even after I was stuffed! If you're a fan of mouthwatering comfort food done right, do yourself a favor and visit this place ASAP. You won't regret it!“
“Were there this evening after living in the area for a couple of years. Keith was our server and was great! Perfectly attentive without feeling like he was hovering. The live music of Dave Tieff tonight was phenomenal! So glad we finally gave them a try!! Langway’s may have just become our new local watering hole!!“
“Both the service and food here are excellent. Everything came out rapidly and delicious, even though we were a party of ten. And the waitress was super nice and friendly. Never had to worry about a drink or chips running low the entire night. Excited to bring our group back again.“
“We stumbled on Ellie’s Place and I’m so glad we did! It’s definitely a locals spot, which I love! The vibe is super chill, the bar is stocked and everyone was so nice the food is made to order and it was totally worth the wait.It’s locally owned and family owned.“
“For context it is located in the lobby of the double tree. I didn't eat any food, but it looked fine. The service was amazing. The bartender was very friendly and engaging with all the customers. Solid bar that can make most of what you need.Parking: It is in the lobby of the double tree and they sell parking for airport travellers.“
“Libations is one of those rare places that make you reconsider how you evaluate food. Their dishes are unique. The least enjoyable part of dinner is having to actually make a choice. I recommend going with a group so everyone can experience different dishes. Don't forget to save room for dessert!“
“We had a small pepperoni pizza, a veggie pizza, and chicken tenders. It was great food and super service. A doordash driver came in ahead of us and was rude, insulting, and obscene. The staff at Neo's was very apologetic. They reported the driver on our behalf and made us feel welcome. Great place. Great food. Great people.“
“We had the chicken salad wrap. Excellent! And one wrap was big enough for two people! Lots of good food all around. With Covid wreaking havoc on menus and taste buds, it's nice to have a good variety of foods. You guys have that covered!“
“The staff at DePaola’s are so accommodating and understanding and KIND! No judgements! I don’t feel accepted many places I go, and I don’t generally relax very much in public, but I can when I come here, because the staff and regulars are so awesome. The service is very fast and attentive. The food is great too. I actually don’t eat burgers, but everyone I’ve brought here to try one says they’re great! I can say from personal experience that the French fries are top notch and best served with honey mustard. The sweet Thai chili wings are also a go-to. When the world feels generally disappointing, I go by DePaolas to introduce some fun back into my life.“
“This saloon is such a quick spot to go to, for lunch or any type of the day really. I tend to stop here a lot during a lunch break or for happy hour some evenings working in the surrounding area - which I am also never disappointed. Because I've come here so often, I am not sure if it is on Thursdays specifically, but S&J's does offer karaoke during the week. Along with good food, a happy hour menu and great bartenders. My favorite meal there : touchdown chicken wrap, with tator tots. *pictured*“
“Dry 85 has one of the most creative cocktails menus in downtown Annapolis. Situated on Main Street which means street parking is challenging, so your best bet is the parking garage nearby. Inside it is dark and slightly industrial looking small space. The servers have always been friendly. I mostly go for the drinks, but you can't go wrong with veggie burger or the fries. The fries are really good if you're a connoisseur of fresh cut and freshly fried ones. Theirs are slightly thicker cut like how the British do their chips. Here they garnish with Parmesan, garlic, and parsley.“
“We’ve been coming here for years, and they’ve always been pleasant, fast, and accurate. Their menu is regularly updated, and they also do a good job with all the staples. They have gluten-friendly pizza, too, which allows us to keep coming back. When we dine in, we appreciate the interior which is far more upscale than your typical pizza/pasta joint.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-friendly pizza!“
