We started with the flavorful and lightly crispy Thai chicken tenders. We will order these again! My husband ordered the prime rib, of which I had a taste, and it was delicious! I ordered the crab cake dinner and it was tasty. We enjoyed the nice choice of rice or 3 kinds of potato. We did decide to splurge with dessert. The flourless chocolate cake was so yummy and my husband's bread pudding smelled, and apparently tasted, just like fall. It is not your traditional bread pudding, but a wonderful dessert nonetheless. The restaurant is nicely decorated for this Chesapeake Bay community. It can get quite lively and while there are acoustic tiles on the ceiling, it was hard to talk until the dining room was only about half full.

Our last few visits have been disappointing. They took the oyster po boy off the menu (one of our favorites!) and the portions have gotten smaller, not as tasty and pricier.

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).

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.

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.

A Maryland legend, Irv's in Pasadena the last legal basement bar in Maryland!…read more As you'd guess it is located in the basement of Irv's home. He's had the home since I believe the 1940s and the biz has been open since the 50s or 60s. Irv is also the only bartender and single handely has run the place for decades. If you were in Greek life like myself you'll feel right at home -- the basement feels like a frat house (in the best way). With bras on the ceiling and plenty of MD decor, it's got a vibe that to me feels cozy! Make sure you bring cash and a good attitude and you'll have a great time!
