    This was my first time trying raw oysters, and I'm officially hooked! They were so fresh and not fishy at all. I'm definitely a texture person, and apparently I can eat my weight in oysters. The shrimp and lobster bisque was also delicious. You could really taste the shrimp and lobster, and the flavors came through without being overpowering. The service was great, and our server was very helpful. I especially loved her recommendation. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was because they suddenly turned the music up so loud that I could barely hear my friend talking. It was a little difficult to enjoy the conversation after that.

    Grabbed dinner here last night and it did not disappoint! Everything was out of this world! The restaurant was absolutely beautiful, staff was phenomenal, and the food delicious! Our portions were also HUGE! We ordered drinks, two appetizers (plus the cheddar biscuits they give you) and main courses. By the time we looked at the dessert menu, we were too full! Our drinks were refreshing and everything was very aesthetically pleasing to look at! They also have their own parking lot too which was a great convenience. Give this restaurant a try!

    Grilled Chicken and Kale Salad

    The food here is so good! I love the kale salad. I added grilled chicken and it was seasoned so well and added more flavor to the salad. The shrimp and lobster bisque was amazing! I wanted another bowl!

    Great restaurant centered on fresh local sea fare! Interior has a coastal, nautical vibe that feels upscale yet homey. Dining is separated into a bar room (with full table service and a stage for performers), a main dining area and an upstairs space. Menu is standard American with many seafood choices (grilled fishes, crab cakes) as well as meat and vegetarian options (pasta, steak, ect). We happened to come during Annapolis restaurant week, which allows you an appetizer, entree and dessert for $42 (only the ones listed on their RW menu). My companion decided on the lobster bisque, grilled halibut and lemon creme brûlée. I had the crispy fish Sammie (regular menu). The lobster bisque was velvety and thick with tender chunks of lobster and not heavy. The fish was flaky and tender, with hints of lemon over roasted Brussel sprouts. The dessert (not pictured) had a soft creamy custard texture with hints of lemon, topped by caramelized crunchy sugar shell. The fish sandwich was a barramundi filet fried and put in a brioche bun with bacon jam, remoulade and arugula. The remoulade had a nice kick. The fish was very fresh and has a great crunchy breaded exterior. The fries that accompanied the dish were also very good (generous portion). Service was impeccable and attentive.

    Came here for a graduation dinner with a group of 20 on Saturday around 2pm. We had a private room with preset menu options. The atmosphere is a balance of relaxed yet upscale. The decor was warm and inviting. This restaurant is perfect for Whether for a casual meal or a special night out, the ambiance fits perfectly for both. The menu offers a good variety of different food options for everyone even for kids. The service was also really good, the wait staff were very pleasant, attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. I had the Maryland crab soup for my first course which was my least favorite. I expected it to be more crab based and flavor but tomato broth dominated the soup instead. Entree, I had the creole rigatoni which was delicious 9/10. The sauce was great and everything was perfectly seasoned. The portion size was good and the meal filing, Dessert, I had the cheesecake which was very mid. Could have done without it. Drink, I had the lavender French 75, which was delicious and I highly recommend. Parking: there is a free parking lot located behind the restaurant.

    I met up with a girlfriend in Annapolis and decided to try Blackwall Hitch, especially since I had a free appetizer coupon from their sister restaurant from my birthday back in May. It was the perfect excuse to check out a new spot! The location is great; it's close to downtown, the pier, and other attractions. They offer free parking, which is a nice bonus. We arrived after brunch ended at 3 PM. Our server was friendly and recommended the Flaming Crab Dip, and since I love anything with crab, I decided to try it. When she brought it out, she poured a liquid over the dip and tried to light it, but unfortunately, it didn't ignite. When I asked, she mentioned it was garlic butter. From the name (and later photos online), it's clear it was supposed to actually flame. Presentation-wise, it looked okay, but not as impressive as advertised. The dip itself was just average. We shared a Caprese pizza, which sadly wasn't hot. We were seated near the kitchen and noticed it sitting under the warmer for a bit before being served. It had good flavor, but would've been much better hot. Overall, the service was pleasant, and the setting was decent, but the food didn't quite meet expectations this time. I'd give it another try for brunch or dinner, hoping for a bit more consistency next visit.

    I recently visited Blackwall Hitch for brunch with a friend on her birthday. We went on a Sunday morning when the restaurant first opened at 10:00 am. We were one of the first ones to arrive. What we didn't realize is that you needed a reservation for Sunday brunch. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us with a table in the bar area which also happened to be where all the food was set up. Score! I guess for some, that may not be the most ideal seating because there could potentially be a lot of commotion in the area when people are getting their food. We were perfectly fine. Once we were seated, a server came by to ask if we wanted any other drinks besides water and then we were free to go grab food. The brunch at Blackwall Hitch is set up buffet style. They have a great spread, including an omelet station and carving station. Waffles were also freshly made. They had all the breakfast goods, including grits, bacon, french toast, and breakfast potatoes. They also had a fish of the day and a cold seafood display. There was a chocolate fountain and a nice dessert display as well. Sadly, I was too full for any dessert or pastries as I went for all the food. A diner at a table next to us raved about their blueberry muffins. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Blackwall Hitch. This is actually a place that was on my "to try" list when I was living in Maryland. I'm glad I finally got the chance to check it out.

    Ask the Community - Blackwall Hitch

    Is parking close?

    Yes! We actually have our own private parking lot, which is extremely rare in Annapolis.

    What is offered on Sat? Brunch or regular menu?

    Regular menu!

    How about space for a family gathering for the holidays?

    The parking was easy for my party and I when we went. It is a spacious restaurant. I personally wouldn't have a party over 10.

    Is the Sunday brunch a buffet or do you order off the menu?

    Hi Leslie - it is a brunch buffet.

    Do they have a kids menu? I can't seem to locate one online

    Blackwall has standard kids items like a small pizza, chicken tenders, cheese burger, pasta, and quesadilla.

Full On Craft Eats. The Toast online ordering system was easy to navigate and adorned with pictures of every menu item. I could not get past the onion rings on the starter menu hoping they would taste as good as they looked. My friend offered to split the Slammin Salmon sandwich and onion rings since she has had it before and never finished the entire thing. I took her up on it and the order was placed. A quick ask for mom to grab it on the way home and the food made its way back quickly. WOW is all I can say. When you order food to go there is a level of expectation that it will not be as good as it is at the restaurant, especially fries and onion rings. But in this instance WOW. Talk about food that travels well. Fourteen minutes away and the food was still warm, the onion rings were so crisp, and the garlic and dill aioli and onion ring sauce were just right. The Slammin Salmon was served on ciabatta bread that was not too soft not too hard, with salmon cooked perfectly. The lemon dill aioli was a game changer so much that my friend's advice to order extra was well received and committed to memory. The onion rings lived up to the hype, cooked perfectly with a crust I cannot even explain. The kind you bite into without losing the entire onion from the breading. Dip it into the sauce and you have a match made in heaven. Half the sandwich was more than enough but the next day I would have loved some leftovers. Now for the extra razzle dazzle. I left to visit a friend in DC and sent him the menu, shared my experience and he was locked in to try. Online ordering was closed since they were closing at 10pm so I called as a last-ditch effort since the anticipation was already there. The nicest most warm individual answered ten minutes before closing and was more than happy to take my order. She even made sandwich recommendations. I quickly arrived at a shopping center that was easy to get in and out of. Walking in you immediately arrive at the counter and takeout area to your left with a nice bar area a short walk past on the right. The cooks and wait staff were having the best time using the 6/7 saying that was all over social media late last year. They were considerate when they noticed I was in the restaurant, but I assured them I loved their energy. I see why the food is so good because the energy shows it was made with great vibes and laughter all around. As I grabbed the bag to leave the hostess stopped me to add another fork and extra napkins since I would need them to add the pickled veggies on my sandwich. Such a nice touch. Thirty plus minutes to DC and the food still did not need to be reheated. The Mai Thai sandwich was a hit with flavors that married well and the onion rings delivered again. The Spicy Thai wings were good for wings but typical. They had a lot to compete with. Full On Craft Eats Annapolis, not to be confused with Rockville, is an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Good food fast that travels well (yes that is a thing). A great addition to any table worth gathering at. I did it twice in one day!!
