This restaurant has changed owners and will soon change names. I have had better experiences here…read morein the past. I guess I caught them on an off night. Ambiance: Modern and sassy, but can be loud. I'd say it has a very energetic vibe. Not very intimate because of the, sometimes boisterous, patronage. There is a new dress code, but I didn't see it being enforced on a few. Not somewhere to have a quiet refined dinner, at least on a Saturday. However, there is outside seating, which actually is a little more relaxed, if the weather is cooperative. App steak rolls: These are always a hit when going here. Sadly I think these are going away because the new owners want a more authentic Italian restaurant. Steaks: We ordered 3 10 oz filets. 2 were cooked perfectly, the third was very rare in the center when all of them were supposed to be medium. Part of me thinks the back got the order wrong somehow, because the two others were perfect. Very strange. Truffle Fries: Very yummy, although to me, I felt it needed a tad bit more salt, but there is salt on the table as needed. I would definitely order these fries again.

The fire torches gave it such a warm, romantic feel that we honestly forgot we were in the middle of Annapolis. Perfect for date night. I also appreciate that this is one of those rare places where you can dress up if you're feeling fancy, or go more casual and still fit right in. Service was attentive and welcoming without being overbearing--always a plus. If we're back in the area, we'll definitely be returning (and yes, for more pasta).

We didn't have to wait long as a family with a baby was about to leave. I looked around and the space is modern and clean. There is a bar area that is well lit and inviting if I was dining by myself. The menu isn't your typical Italian menu. There was a chicken fried tofu appetizer, steak frites, smash burgers and snakehead. I don't know what snakehead is so ai went with the catfish carbonara, my friend had the steak frites and my other friend had the Brussel sprouts appetizer and pear salad. We also shared a bottle of red wine. Our dessert was a deconstructed sundae with cannoli bits and delicious. Our server was Brendan and he was fantastic. He answered our questions and checked in and chatted with us for a bit. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Love the ambiance!

The brussel sprouts are quite good.

The calamari, wedge salad, mushrooms, and lamb chops were all stars of the evening. Sadly, the rest of the food was kind of bland, including the steaks and most of the vegetable and potato sides. However, the steaks were all cooked to the proper temperature. We tried three deserts - the chocolate cake, creme brûlée, and cheesecake, and they were enormous, and tasty, but also a little lackluster. Overall, there was nothing really wrong with this meal, but it wasn't quite right either.

He checked on us regularly but he forgot to mention the specials of the day which was on a different menu. I found out after ordering by looking at an additional menu. That was a bit disappointing because I love Snapper fish as well. Now my Salmon was delicious. Cooked perfectly with a nice crunch. So no complaints there. Oh and the rolls they bring to your table was very satisfying. I enjoyed my meal and I ordered the carrot cake to go. So delicious and just what I needed. It's a nice size so I will be enjoying that for a few days. Very nice visit.

I'd had Dry 85 on my list for a while, and it sounded just right on that cold, snowy day. I walked in, grabbed a seat at the bar, and was immediately welcomed and handed menus and given a glass of water. This welcome was consistent with great service throughout. I love sitting at a bar (especially for a solo meal), because it allows you to chat with the bartenders, and the bartenders at Dry 85 were great. I had one of their burgers and fries, and it was delicious. Add a bourbon cocktail and TVs playing college basketball, and I was a happy girl. Truly a good place for a meal or drinks. Cozy, warm, with solid food, drinks, and service. I'd be happy to return.

It was…read morethe week after the snow storm, so the streets around the restaurant and parking was difficult to get to. The boats sitting on the water were even frozen. Despite the freezing weather, the restaurant was still pretty filled and had a great vibe. When we got to our table the waiter checked my coat and gave me a ticket, to get it later. Our table was seated right next to a beautiful fire pit, which gave an amazing warm temperature. The views across the water were breath taking, through the tall glass windows. There were high ceilings and many details throughout the restaurant that were stunning! Started dinner with the Oysters, followed by the Shellfish Linguine with sautéed mushrooms as an entree. I got the Roasted Lamb Chops which came with the tri-color carrots, and parsnip purée. It all tasted great, however there wasn't enough for leftovers. The waiter brought out a tasty piece of red velvet cake that said "Happy Birthday," which was much appreciated. Service was attentive and kind from all of the staff.

We started with the crab dip and that was good! The valentine couple's surf & turf special, shareable ribeye and tomahawk were all sold out! This was very disappointing. The entree - we ordered the prime rib and eye of the ribeye. Both were cooked great. The creamed spinach was flavorful and creamy. The truffle fries? No complaints, crispy and tasty. Now let's talk about the lobster risotto... because what happened there? Risotto is supposed to be creamy, rich, and comforting. This was dry, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp and lobster was dried out. Service was excellent and ambiance is luxury rustic. Overall, some items were good, but that lobster risotto was a major letdown, especially for the price point. I would revisit but will stay away from the lobster risotto.
