If the hostess says there's a 20 minute wait, I don't recommend doing what I did, which was set my timer and go for a walk across the street to checkout the sailboats on the hard. I came back in time, and the hostess said she gave my table away because I wasn't here 5 minutes after I had left. Remember she said it would be 20 minutes, right? Anyway, she sat me indoors within a few minutes...mind you I looked around and I could visually see several tables on the patio open and cleaned waiting for someone to be seated. You know, like me! Anyway, after being seated at an indoor table for about 5 minutes, she came over and said she could seat me out on the patio now. Again, awkward, but I was happy I was able to be outside. Aside from that, I had a great experience here and really enjoyed the oysters. I recommend eating out on the patio where it is quieter and easier to hear, but better vibes and airy.

That's not a shipwreck you're imagining after a few cocktails, there really is a boat jutting out from the roof of this cute hipster brew pub, namely the Reuben James (worth a Google). In collaboration with Heavy Seas Brewery, you can find an assortment of Cannons on tap here at RHBC. Looking for a cocktail in lieu of beer? The blueberry hard lemonade will have you sailing in tranquility in no time. At opening, RHBC isn't serving food yet, but I hear they're working on it.

All housed in the historic Capital Hotel, newly renovated in November of 2022. The atmosphere here is immaculate. It is a must see when enjoying the sights of Annapolis. My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon after touring the State House. We each ordered the Monkey Smoke (Penicillin), and she ordered a small plate with avocado and lump crabmeat, which we ordered just in time as the kitchen closed between 3 and 4. The standout of the day for me was the old fashioned, made with plum bitters. One of the best old fashioneds I've ever had. The servers were all very friendly and quick. We will definitely come back the next time we're in town, and definitely recommend this to others.

The Retriever Oyster House in Chestertown left us with a mixed impression, one that deserves a fair…read moreand constructive take. We had just come from a college football game and, on the fly, decided to grab dinner here based on the recommendation of the one local in our group. There were seven of us, and most went for the double smash burgers with fries, which were excellent. Kim, our server, was outstanding, prompt, accurate, and attentive throughout the evening. The bartender also added to the positive side of the experience, making sure everything at the table ran smoothly. The issue came at the door. We had tried to call ahead to let them know we were on the way, not realizing that OpenTable was their preferred system. When we arrived, the host made this clear, but in a way that was unnecessarily sharp and cold. It set the wrong tone for the night. In a town where friendliness is the norm, the contrast was striking. The experience began under a haze that was difficult to shake, even though the food and drinks were excellent once we sat down. To be constructive, this is less about policy and more about hospitality. A host sets the tone, and a welcoming explanation could have changed everything. Something as simple as, "We usually use OpenTable to handle groups this size, but I'm glad you're here, let's get you taken care of," would have gone a long way. Instead of frustration, it could have created a positive first impression and likely earned a loyal group of returning guests for years to come. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with locals enjoying themselves in a loud and fun environment. Our group of longtime friends who have been convening in Chestertown for two decades fit right in once we were seated. However, the bad first impression lingered, and as a result we only had one round with food before deciding to leave a lot earlier than our normal rhythm for an evening out. We ended up taking our bar bill to another venue. Great food and excellent table service carried the night, but the host made sure we will not be returning as part of our annual tradition. This is a restaurant with strong potential, and it could go from good to exceptional with just a little more attention to how guests are greeted.

We'll definitely be back on our next visit to Brampton to try more.

I made the trek with some buddies the day before the 2025 home opener, and it did not disappoint. We were immediately greeted by a young man who directed us downstairs, and said "Irv will be down in a minute, make yourselves at home." We descended into the basement of this unassuming waterfront house, and there he was. 101 year old Irv, emerging from the shadows like an old wizard from your favorite sci-fi movie, almost like Yoda. He politely and softly asked us what we wanted, and proceeded to serve us the best round of Natty Bohs I may have had in my life. This bar isn't like your neighbor's basement bar - it's a full bar with a pool table, full service rest rooms, a functional jukebox, and a lot of the charm you'd find in your favorite dive bar. The only thing you won't find at your favorite bar is Irv. At 101, he's sharp as a tack. Funny, with a lifetime of stories. Sign his wall, by a t shirt or shot glass, admire the bras hanging from the ceiling, and soak in what could be a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you, Irv.
