The 15 best spots for soup in Annapolis

What a great gem! This place has been a staple since 1965, and you can really feel the cozy, nostalgic vibe as soon as you step in. The menu is extensive, with plenty of options to suit all tastes, there's something for everyone! The service is speedy and the servers are incredibly friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. One unique touch is the daily tradition of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at 8:30am (I witnessed it on Labor Day, at least!), it's a lovely way to start the day. The decor is also noteworthy, with an interesting collection of photos featuring MD governors and politicians. And if you're feeling adventurous, be sure to check out their infamous food challenge! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a warm, unique, and welcoming dining experience.

I looked around Annapolis for a massive crab cake on the menu, and that is exactly what I got when I came here! The cream of crab soup was very good although it was not a “lump” crab soup… still great though. It was very well seasoned. Just the right amount of salt. I think one thing that is not mentioned enough is how good, soft, and massive the poppy sees roll is! Perfectly buttered and toasted. When I added some crab cake to my roll and dipped it in my soup, it was eye-closing good!!! The crab mac and cheese was decent but nothing too special. The baked potato could have been cooked more. It was a little too firm for my liking. Nonetheless, it was an amazing meal I enjoyed very much! I’m sure I will be back!

I Can’t tell you how much I love the character of this place. Felt like I was transported back into the 1960’s. This place was bustling busy so me & the Mrs. ate at the counter. I went with what was considered the most popular item on the menu which was a jumbo lump crab cake, and I got a classic cheese steak & fries. Both were very delicious. If you happen to be in the Annapolis area, I highly suggest you stop in here. You won’t regret it. I didn’t have the breakfast menu but the plates coming out looked phenomenal.

This place is a local legend and deservedly so. I would say it's among my favorite Annapolis restaurants. There are a lot of options including the famous crab cakes and all-day breakfast. As a result it tends to be pretty busy and you may have to wait for a table if you come during peak hours, especially in the middle of tourist season. It is tight inside and I wouldn't recommend coming here with a group of more than 4 people. It is wheelchair accessible but only through the back alley door. I would recommend coming in the off-season like we did and after 1 pm. But we had a great time and the food was excellent, and we didn't have to wait long for it.

First time in Annapolis and tried to eat each meal somewhere new, but had to take a second trip here. I'm not sure how you can make pastrami taste like it's more than a deli sandwich but it was incredible. The Philly was pretty good, and great burgers. Tried the crab mac and cheese as well, I would say that was good, but everything else was great. Service was really good and the place had a really cool old deli vibe they should never change.

Made two trips. One to try the Super Duper Colossal Burger Challenge and once to try one of the many sandwiches. Fantastic atmosphere if you are looking for diner vibe! Great food. Had one of the hot pastrami sandwiches. Would highly recommend stopping by here.

I love the atmosphere and the food was fantastic. The service was fast and very efficient. The milkshake was incredible. I may have eaten that before my delicious crabcakes. I cannot wait to go back again.

We started with the crab dip, crab balls, and soup with half MD crab soup and half cream of crab. The crab dip was super good. The crab balls were really crispy with a nice amount of meat filling on the inside. The sauce with the crab balls was also pretty good. The soup was exactly what I wanted. It was a nice combo of bold flavors from the Md crab soup with the rich texture of cream of crab. For entrees, I got the boss burger which was basically a double bacon cheeseburger. My girlfriend got the crab dip sandwich. Our server Jenna was very nice and even made me my own spicy mayo for my fries. My burger was pretty good and my girlfriend liked her sandwich too. For dessert we got the butter cake and key lime pie. Both were absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this place, particularly for a casual lunch.

First time trying Boatyard and the vibe walking in was vibrant with a lot of ocean themed decor. We got a table within 10 mins even though they were extremely busy… The waitress also took our order relatively quickly. We ordered salmon salad, w/ a side of BBQ wings, goat cheese and arugula salad & a hot dog and fries. Honestly, it wasn’t anything special, but it’s an edible American version of sea food (comparing to Caribbean styled sea food which I grew up enjoying). That being said, it filled a belly. Will we willingly return… maybe…

These may have been the best crab cakes I’ve ever had. I loved the mashed potatoes and street corn as sides too. They were a large portion of crab meat, like they say free of fillers. They tasted fresh, and they were creamy, nice texture. The sailor’s mussels were amazing, I’m not even a huge fan of mussels, but these were good. My husband was very pleased with them. Jenna was our server and she took care of us. She was attentive and pleasant! The prices were right too.

I really enjoyed the Boatyard. I was by myself so I sat at the bar and chatted to the bar tender a bit. He was outstanding. I had Antione’s Oysters Rock for an app. They were PERFECT! Gobbled them up and then ate my crab cake sandwich with a couple of Boatyard largers which were also very good! Oh, and the toffee cake dessert was incredible too! Definitely a great spot! Fun atmosphere, friendly and fast service, and awesome food! I LOVE MARYLAND CRABCAKES!! Why can’t anyone else make them like they do??

If you’re ever in Annapolis, the Boatyard Bar & Grill is the real deal. From the moment you walk in, the energy feels alive. the service is on point even when the place is packed. It’s not quiet, but that’s part of the experience. It’s loud, it’s lively, and it feels like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Perfect spot for great food, good people, and that true Eastport waterfront charm. Highly recommend.

On our first visit to Annapolis and we chose to check out the Boatyard for a casual dinner. The weather was very nice so we chose the available outdoor seating. We went inside to have a drink at the bar while we waited for a table. It was a Friday evening, so the place was pretty busy. It didn't take long and we were sitting down ordering. So the food was pretty good, the drinks were good, and the vibe was cool.

Everything was delicious. Flavorful and served up fresh and hot, just like I like it. As soon as the food was ready, it was brought right over to our table. Amazing service and presentation of the food. The ambiance was very pleasant and family oriented. Open space, with a nice bar and store to buy souvenirs and the state of Maryland merchandise. It was absolutely great. Parking lot right across the street for convenient parking. Outdoor seating, covered to protect you from the sun but also a great way to feel the summer breeze. Just awesome.

We dined here for my birthday. The charming and romantic atmosphere was perfect. Our attentive server provided just the right amount of service. The steak was a wonderful cut, perfectly medium-rare, but lacked seasoning and flavor. Adding salt improved it. I’d recommend a ribeye if you go here.

Lewnes' Steakhouse in Annapolis is a true gem for steak enthusiasts. The steaks are exceptional—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Each bite melts in your mouth, showcasing the quality of their USDA Prime beef. ​ The ambiance is classic and inviting, making it an ideal spot for special occasions or a memorable night out. The service is attentive and professional, enhancing the overall dining experience. ​ While the menu is steak-focused, they also offer a selection of seafood and appetizers that complement the main courses well. The wine list is extensive, providing excellent pairing options for your meal. OpenTable ​ Overall, Lewnes' Steakhouse delivers a top-notch dining experience with its superb steaks, elegant atmosphere, and outstanding service.​

The seafood bisque and yellow fin tuna were both excellent. The cowboy ribeye did not actually impress me, maybe I had high hopes given the $80 price tag, but it was not a great piece.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Lewnes! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Despite arriving later than our reservation time, the manager, Marco, greeted us warmly and made sure we were still comfortably seated without any rush or inconvenience. His professionalism and hospitality really set the tone for the evening. The service throughout the meal was attentive and friendly, and the staff made excellent recommendations. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant. Thanks to Marco and the team for making our evening so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

My dining experience at Lewnes' Steakhouse was first class, outstanding! Super professional service and exquisite cuisine, I would argue that they should be Michelin rated, absolutely. I eat out regularly and work in the industry, so have more than a bit of experience in the field. Service was best of the best! The interaction from the hostess to waiter and owner/manager was spot on. Courteous, insightful and respectful is name of the game at Lewnes'! Our waiter Mark knew how to entertain and walk us through our dining experience as this was our first time here. His explanations and suggestions were exceptional. The timing of drink and food was spot on, he even decanted the wine and let it breath as we finished our aperitif's. All the courses were delicious. The Oysters Rockefeller were the best I have ever had. For the main course I had the cowboy ribeye and my date had lamb chops. Both dishes were exceptional, I am very particular about temperature of my steak and the chef nailed it! Hats off to the chef. Also, we were greeted 3 times by the owner/GM, he introduced himself when we were checking in for our reservation, then twice came to our table to ensure our experience was perfect and it was. The ambiance is light and refreshing super positive with a bit of excitement amongst the patrons. Lewnes' Steakhouse is now officially my favorite, I suggest you make a reservation as soon as the opportunity presents.

First time at this restaurant, tried based on the reviews. Great choice, my server Matt was phenomenal, very attentive without being over bearing. Food was cooked as asked and had a good taste. Alcoholic drinks were great and were prepared well. Had desert only because it was my bday so Matt brought out like a brownie ice cream combo, nice touch and great tasting. I would definitely try again. Parking is also available across the street prior to reaching the restaurant in an open lot.

Absolutely classic steakhouse. Excellent service in a beautiful room lined with glimpses into a well stocked wine cellar. Everything was perfectly prepared. Highest recommendation.

There was nothing special about today's lunch. My grilled cheese sandwich was overly greasy, on one side (the top side looked perfect). The "breading" on the fried green tomatoes had no taste, and they were placed on the plate, in a manner you would expect at a place with Grade D but edible food; four, lackluster sices, plopped on random lettuce slices [The lettuce made no sense as they looked like a few strands of scraps from a previous customer's plate]. The Tomatoe's taste was similar to a sweet mini pizza that a child might make for their afternoon snack covered in shredded cheese - definitely not worth the $15 (or $18) i spent. That made me really sad because every previous visit was amazing. The photo was withheld to save you the embarrassment, but my description should be sufficient! The server was on point. He was attentive and present. They oysters were presented nicely but approximately a 3 out of 5. The crabcake was great. Its taste was superior to the one we had at Bridges a few days ago. The fireplace was wonderful.

Super cool Restaurant/Tavern, food and service are great, we sat outside, the view was great. We were able to see boats in the Marina. This entire section is historic and Beautiful. We also visited the Navel Academy and walked the campus. Well worth the time

great location! right near the water, a great view of everything. service was great, all of the servers and hostesses were super polite and nice. we were seated very quickly, and were given menus while considering dining here. everything came out in a timely manner, fresh and hot! the menu has a good variety of options if you’re not sure what you want. the mussels are a really generous portion, and the sauce is fabulous! the wonton tuna was excellent- loved the wasabi dressing! great food, definitely will be making our way back!

I gave the rating I did due to the food honestly. I got the crab dip burger and my partner got the crab cake. I also ordered the cream of crab soup (soup of the day it was) anyway my partner liked his crab cake. However I found my burger to be really bland. Even with the dip. Nothing made it that great. Our server was awesome tho. We sat at the smaller side tables outside so that was cool. Just wish there was more flavor in my burger and dip.

Came here almost 20 years ago and the crab balls were just as remembered...DELICIOUS! Excellent location, incredible food, great service. Definitely get the crab balls and try the crab dip burger. Homemade Caesar dressing was spot on, too. Hope to be back sooner than 20 years next time!

I couldn’t even bring myself to order after visiting the restroom and coming across a 2” American roach! After seeing this little guy (bugs don’t typically bother me) I got looking around… the ceiling was covered with black dust and visible different colored molds. I found nothing wrong with service or staff. Very friendly! But the place itself could use pest control and a good deep clean.

Loved this place! Like walking into history! Such a cool local and colonial vibe! So very Annapolis, everything was great. Food was very good! Our bartender Maddie was great and so helpful! She made sure we ate, drank and toured like locals! Took her suggestions for other great food and experiences.

So glad we stumbled upon this local treasure. Great Irish pub with an authentic feeling to it. I am so glad I chose the crab cakes. They were hands down the best I've had! Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was fantastic. I definitely recommend eating here while you visit Annapolis!

Always love dining here. Food is great, service is great, atmosphere is top notch. If you catch the times when live music is playing it is a wonderful relaxing place to hang out. I pop in here almost every time I am in Annapolis. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Zehra took excellent care of us and was super fast with everything. She also had a great personality. 😊 The food was really good and I have been to Ireland so I would say they did a great job. I had the potato leek soup and shrimp platter. Shepherd’s pie mac n cheese and fish & chips were also amazing according to my friends. This place is definitely one I will return to when we come back for the sailboat show. The chocolate mousse for dessert was also very decadent and rich. I recommend it. 🤤

Stop in after a afternoon of site seeing and shopping, for a quick snack and some drinks! Loved the live music! Service was very quickly and prompt! Had a variety of beers, shots and the fried pickles, and these were so freaking good!!! Highly recommend!!!

A little piece of Ireland right here! Having visited several pubs in Galway, I can honestly say this one captures the true Irish spirit perfectly. The ambiance is spot-on, warm, dimmed lighting, Irish background music, and that familiar cozy decoration that makes you feel instantly at home. The Guinness was excellent, just as smooth and rich as in Ireland, which is saying a lot! The food was a lovely surprise too, with even more variety on the menu than many places I tried in Galway. I had the cod, which was tender and perfectly cooked. The portion was a bit smaller than what I’ve had in Ireland, but the flavor was absolutely authentic that same delicious, crispy coating that makes fish and chips such a classic. Overall, it’s a truly great pub and a very worthwhile experience. For a moment, I really felt like I was back in Ireland! 🍀

Galway Bay is an Annapolis institution...a classic Irish pub serving delicious food like their exceptional Rueben and hand-battered fish and chips The creamy whiskey tomato soup is a treat. Reliably good for decades!

The food was amazing. I recommend getting the Ruben as it is extremely delicious. However, the umbrellas on the ceiling didn't cover the whole thing. Really recommend.

Let me just say this was THE SPOT, at 5pm sharp there was a line and people excited to sit down for wine and dine. I’ve never seen so many people at the door waiting for them to open. The staff was kind and efficient in getting everyone seated and served. Food was delicious, especially the pizza and desserts and the rose wine by the bottle was five stars. Parking onsite and out front on the street as well, but plan accordingly because it is popular and in demand. Indoor and outdoor seating and a fun bar wrap around as well. Great spot and experience.

We waited an hour and 15 minutes for a table here in a random Tuesday night… and it was so worth it. I’ve been told many times to visit this quaint restaurant and I can now see why. We had the most wonderful server, I didn’t catch her name but truly she made our experience so so wonderful. The food was all delicious. Everything was reasonably priced as well… our table of 4 ended up with a bill under $200 and we had everything we wanted. Also clearly red wine is the way to go here, as every table was drinking red wine including ours. Next time I’ll ask for my pizza to be slightly more cooked since i like a bit more crispy crust but I wait to come back.

I knew this place was going to be good but I wasn't prepared for just HOW good it would be. The ingredients and food were very thoughtfully crafted and were high quality. It was all so fresh and this is some of the best pizza we've had in a very long time. I wish we lived closer so we could come more often, but next time I'm in Annapolis I will definitely be back! Also, I really loved the gorgeous garden out front!

Great find in Annapolis,MD! @vin909wine Looking for a spot to stop to get a bite eat last night but didn't want to go downtown. @vin909wine is a small neighborhood restaurant that gives you that hometown fill. This restaurant/wine bar. The staff here is very friendly and attentive to you and your guests. The food is fantastic to the taste, flavors, smells, and presentations! Everything that we tried was great and came out surprisingly quick. We tried the hummus, cast iron skirt steak, and 909 potstikers. The taste of all of them were absolutely fantastic! The cast iron skirt steak is served in a sauce and a side of bread. You're gonna what extra bread to soak up the extra spicy Moroccan sauce. The potstikers were nice and tender citrus ponzu sauce. (A sweet like dumpling sauce) The only thing I would have to say is be ready to order multiple things off of the menu. Everything is made to share. We end up ordering the Miss Piggy flatbread. A great brick oven taste, the flatbread look like and tasted like it was homemade. @vin909wine is definitely a place to stop by to check out for yourself! We will definitely be back!

Vin909 is hands down our favorite restaurant and has quite literally ruined us for eating elsewhere 🤣. It is always the top of our list for where we want to eat. The food is incredible, and dining here is the best value too, since it is not expensive for how amazing the dining experience is. The service always delivers, with staff like Becky who are genuine, nice, attentive, and go above and beyond to ensure your meal is perfect. We went to the French Laundry recently and had a great experience, but Vin909 is still our favorite! My favorite meal as a vegetarian is definitely the risotto (any of the variations!), but the current burrata and the previous wildflower gnocchi are also top notch.

Really outstanding food! Appetizer of mozzarella with pesto and a bit of eggplant hiding under it. We had the spotted hog pizza with various pork products on it. I'm not sure what exactly made it taste so good, but it did. Based on reviews, I made sure we had room for dessert and it did not disappoint. Mine was the bread pudding - which the reviews said we should get. It was a delicious comfort dessert. Some might find it too sweet. He had the fruit crumble. It was supposed to be apple, but it tasted more tart like rhubarb so we were glad he'd also got a scoop of ice cream.

Very cool place. Worth getting a bottle of wine and waiting outside in the nice outside waiting area for your table to be ready. The pizza is a must.

A buddy of mine and I had some time to spare in downtown Annapolis, so we thought we’d get some seafood. The Federal House looked good, so we stopped in for lunch on a whim. We had the crab dip starter, followed by my lobster grilled cheese and my buddy’s “Pick 2” soup and sandwich. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised. Both of our meals were really good, and our server was entertaining and very friendly. Having the outside patio to relax and chat made for a great atmosphere—nice weather and pretty good people-watching thanks to the boat show. All in all, an afternoon well spent.

We stopped here for a late lunch after a long day of exploring Annapolis. Beautiful and historic. The food and wine were great. We had fish tacos, fish and chips, lobster bisque and a burger. Everything was excellent. Great service too. Highly recommended.

Awesome food, attentive service, and overall great experience. We visited the place on Independence Day, and we did not feel short of attention despite the venue being very busy

Located in the heart of Annapolis, the Federal House Bar & Grill is an awesome vantage point to enjoy the local atmosphere. Hard charging Midshipmen all over the place…and a few old ones as well. A great selection of beers, cocktails, and wine. We cose to appetizers, the Tuna Mountain and the Calamari. Both dishes were outstanding. Wait staff were professional and welcoming. We’ll be back. Thanks!

Enjoyed a nice dinner outdoors, taking in historic downtown Annapolis and listening to live music. So happy the tables had a little fireplace because it got a bit chilly on this fall day. Would not recommend the cocktails, I ended up sending mine back and ordered a house cab instead. I do recommend the cowboy burger! It’s huge, so if you’re a light eater, split with someone. Fries were excellent! Our server Ann was very attentive and checked on us regularly.

We didn’t eat here, but the food that we saw patrons prior orders looked excellent. They have an excellent drink list. Service was good even though it was a busy Saturday night after a Navy football game. It was busy, but we got seats at the bar right away.

Been about 3 years, and the food was disappointing, ordered steak Medium came out rare. Sent it back only to come back from the microwave well done. The lettuce was From a bag. Ok lets try a burger, that was ok $17.00 plus up charge for cheese And the frys were cold. Sorry will nit be a next time

Ordered crab cake. It was ready in less than 20 minutes. Best crab cake I’ve had in Maryland.

I had a BLT sandwich and curly fries. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. It was very good. They were pretty busy but they took care of everyone.

Unfortunately, the service at this restaurant was disappointing—our waitress was rude and dismissive throughout the meal. When a simple issue came up, instead of resolving it politely, she tried to blame us, which was frustrating and unprofessional. I believe good customer service is key, and sadly, that was not our experience here. One of the waitresses was Erin, and I don't know the name of the other one (shown being rude in the video). Instead of apologizing, she blows us off as you can see in the video. They may have an amazing crab cake, but the service sucks. They need training. I'd get fired if I acted like a child at my job.

Happy Hour arrival gave us a table outside on a cloudy Tuesday where the Ahi Tuna Salad and especially excellent crabcakes were handicap accessible and lemon-drop martinis went down easily! 10 out of 10 on the crabcakes

Small bar / seating area adjacent to the bar. Crab cake sandwich was good; not much filler, but large bun in comparison. The bread on the sandwich sort of overpowered the crab meat taste due to its thickness. Service at the bar was decent. Food was received in about 10 minutes. No special cocktail menu.

We stopped by for lunch and had the best crab cake we’ve ever eaten. Fun atmosphere, both outside and inside. The crab dip was fabulous as well. Friendly staff, great location. Highly recommend!

Stopped in with my husband and daughters while in town. Old pub vibes. Food was delicious and service was perfect. The restaurant was very dark even though we went on a sunny day and the old floor was not level so my husband's chair leaned forward. It honestly only added to the charm :-)

Given 4 stars for atmosphere because it is diner but the food (crab balls that look like crab cakes, with very little filling, banana pancakes and huge turkey sausages) and the service is excellent. If you’re in Annapolis and you have a big appetite(portions are more than what you can possibly consume in one sitting) the DoubleT is a must stop.

Well this must be a bad day. 1st ordered the sweet tea, it was sweet water, then the lemonade, even worst, then root beer and it had way to much carbonation. I had a BLT with the bacon from this morning and she had a dry reuben. I gave up. Usually better than this!

Love the authenticity of this place. I had a seasoned waitress that made me feel at home, I literally wanted to ask her for a hug. They sat me immediately and while the menu was fairly large with lots of options, I settled on the crabby tots and wing sampler. Portion size was large. The star of the show was the crab dip and buffalo wings. Loved their homemade ranch and blue cheese. Staff was very attentive, and they have a nice selection of desserts and cocktails. I’ll be back!

Honestly, if it were not for my grandson, I would not have come. This is where he picked for his bday. To start off, the silverware were dirty. Not just water stains but between the teeth of the forks were disgusting. I actually asked for plastic eatery. 2nd the food was bland. I get it, its geared more towards the elderlies. Which is great, however, my money should get me what I want that's flavor. The waitress was very kind and nice. The vibe in the restaurant was low key chilled. Thats my honest opinion. My granddaughter ate 2 bites of her meal. My grandson pretty much ate all of his. I well, let's just say I brought mine home to doctor it up. No return for me.

Their breakfast is good and service, but lunch and dinner options are lacking. Order spinach pie for $20 and it was greasy and mushed. Not the typical Greek spanakopita that is flaky.

Someone in these reviews said that the non-breakfast selection was limited. They were apparently dining in a different restaurant. The menu is massive. If you are lucky, Shirley will be your server. She is the classic diner waitress, in every good way possible. I had the eggs benedict, and 9 times out of 10 I don't really care for the hollandaise sauce. Not this time. It was fantastic. I cannot recommend this place high enough, and btw, somehow our meals came out in less than 5 minutes. I still cannot figure out how the heck they did that!

There was a short wait, but we were seated within 5 minutes. Very classic diner. My burger was delicious, and they had a rather large kids menu. Breakfast served all day!

I've been to Cooper's Hawk before and I had such a great experience that I thought it would be a nice place to take my Mom for her birthday and they did not meet my expectations! I made a reservation for 5pm and I requested a booth in the special requests section when I booked the reservation. I arrived on time but there were no booths available which means the hostess station isn't paying attention to reservation requests until the party arrives. I dine out frequently and this was a first having to wait for a booth that was requested. We were seated a bit after 530pm and due to the delay we missed the 3pm-530pm specials! We placed our orders for appetizers and the bisque was brought to the table but the egg rolls weren't. We asked the waitress about the egg rolls and she said they were taken to another table but she'd get them out as quickly as possible. My mom ordered a steak well done and it was the blackest steak I've ever seen! The manager came over to check on my mom since the waitress could see her displeasure with the steak but my mom didn't want to create a fuss so she kept the burnt steak. The manager comped her dessert but that's normal for birthdays at most places. Nothing was done special for her birthday dessert. Normally there are at least candles on the dessert but they did nothing! I won't return for a special occasion again.

We are wine club members and love our visits and happy hours at Cooper's Hawk! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is upscale but approachable and comfortable, and the service is always top tier. I highly recommend the raspberry or almond sparkling, along with Unoaked. You can't go wrong, so many great options!

Cooper’s Hawk has truly become our go-to spot for just about everything — from girls’ nights and birthdays to special family dinners. Every visit feels like a little celebration, and we absolutely love it! The atmosphere is the perfect blend of fun, classy, and cute — it’s inviting without being too loud, elegant without being stuffy. Whether we’re laughing over wine flights with my girls or sharing a delicious meal with family, we always feel so welcomed and cared for by the staff. The food is consistently amazing, the drinks are delicious (we’re obsessed with the wine!), and the overall vibe just puts us in the best mood. It’s a place where memories are made. Can’t wait for our next visit! 💕- Isela

Came for our wine pickup, stayed for lunch. The appetizer portions are enough for 4 people! Brussel sprouts, and pot stickers were great! The Soy ginger garlic salmon was also perfect. Our server seemed preoccupied and not very attentive, but maybe he was busy with other tables. That won't keep us from going back.

My family and I celebrated my birthday here and I'm glad I picked it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was great.

Me and my sisters came in for a late wine tasting closer to closing time! Alicia (Ms. Alicia) was our Somalia and was nothing short of amazing! Ms. Alicia explained the notes and tasting of the wines we were tasting. Along with Dee (Mrs. Dee) they took care of us! Dee made sure to make suggestions on wines and provided great conversation! If you are ever in Annapolis please come by and ask for Alicia & Dee!

A Memorable Birthday Celebration at Cooper's Hawk We recently celebrated my sister's birthday at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Annapolis, and it was the perfect choice. The atmosphere is fantastic – upscale but still relaxed and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure our celebration felt special. What really stood out was the wine and food pairings. The server helped us pick wines that complemented our meals perfectly, and everyone raved about their dishes. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. It's clear they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of thought into the menu. Overall, Cooper's Hawk made my sister's birthday unforgettable. The combination of great food, excellent wine, and outstanding service makes it a must-visit in Annapolis. We'll definitely be back!

It was our first time visiting this restaurant in Annapolis with the family to celebrate my husband’s birthday and father’s day! We had an unforgettable dinner at Chris and Ruth Steakhouse. We ordered the Porterhouse for Two and the Cowboy Ribeye—both cooked to perfection and packed with incredible flavor. The quality of the meat was outstanding, tender, and juicy. The cocktails were just as impressive—balanced, creative, and absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to our server Jonathan, who made the experience even better. He was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the food and drinks. He walked us through the cuts, preparation process, and even gave great pairing suggestions. Jonathan, truly elevated the entire evening. He was professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about both the menu and the drink selections. He gave thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does. If you’re looking for top-tier steak, craft cocktails, and exceptional service, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back!

The service and the food were exceptional! We ordered Calamari and Oysters Rockefeller as appetizers and we both had Petit Ribeye with Lobster Mac and Creamed Spinach for our sides. Everything was delicious! The service was absolutely wonderful. Josh was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a fairly private table to celebrate our anniversary and they even added rose petals to the table. It was a wonderful experience.

Always excellent. We celebrate the majority of our family and friends birthdays here. The Annapolis Maryland location is topnotch every single visit. Food is always delicious.

We had the most amazing experience the other night for my 2nd Moms birthday!! Can we start with the bread?? I mean we cant forget it and there were two kinds. White and Raisin. I only tried the Raisin but it was delicious. Next was the seafood tower. Absolutely amazing with beautiful presentation. It was perfect for us 3-we got the small size. I'd say it would be good for no MORE than 4 people. More than 4 you'd definitely want the large. Next comes the lamb chops!! They were cooked perfectly to my liking. I was a little difficult and asked for somewhere in-between medium and medium rare. They did exactly that! The sides, we ended up sharing. Creamed spinach, brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. All were PERFECT. The creamed spinach and Brussels sprouts, I loved equally! The Bananas Foster was also amazing! It was prepared tableside by our super fun waitress! All in all, I hadn't been to Ruth's Chris since my 16th birthday. I'm now 39. I cant believe I've waiting so many years in between! Ill definitely be back soon :0)

Birthday and anniversary celebration. Table ready within 10 minutes of arrival. Great selection of steaks perfectly cooked to order. They also have a fixed price menu option offering different entrees. Highly recommend the pork chop. Perhaps the best I've had; cooked to perfection and very succulent. We enjoyed an assortment of side dishes and all were delicious. Highly recommend the calamari as an appetizer. Our waiter was very attentive and individual whims were accommodated. Nice dessert selection and delicious as well. All around great dining experience.

Very concerning to have paint chips from ceiling while guests are eating. Looks like water damage from ceiling as well Chairs and walls have scuff marks. Brought up to server and manager never came. Porterhouse steak was okay, asked for medium rare and got rare Server was nice person who did their best. Not what to expect at a Ruth Chris experience. Especially spending 500 dollars

I’ve gone back and forth about writing this review because Ruth’s Chris in Annapolis has always been a favorite of mine. Management and the staff have consistently been welcoming, attentive, and made every visit feel special. Unfortunately, my most recent experience in early October was very different, and it’s weighed on me since. I visited to celebrate my birthday, but the service I received from our server, Jackie, did not reflect the level of hospitality I’ve come to expect. I waited a long time before even being acknowledged, and when Jackie finally arrived, her demeanor felt cold and rushed. When I asked questions about the menu, she seemed annoyed and did not appear knowledgeable about the items. What made the experience even more disappointing was watching her interactions with a nearby table of three young men. Her attitude with them was warm, engaging, and completely different from the service we received. One of the reasons I’ve always loved Ruth’s Chris is because not only is the food phenomenal, but the service has always felt exceptional and celebratory. Sadly, this time, that was not the case. If this had been my very first visit, I would not have wanted to return. I share this because I truly value Ruth’s Chris and the many wonderful experiences I’ve had there in the past. I hope this feedback helps ensure that future guests continue to receive the warm, attentive service that the restaurant is known for.

Super friendly staff and good tasting fresh food. The burrito was a little small, but it was nice that it came with a side salad.

I called for a carryout of a Taco Bowl and was greeted by accommodating and patient gentleman. My first time ordering was great and I am glad that I was able to try a new to me food establishment. The order was being prepared as I waited in a lovely ambiance bar/dining/pickup area. All of the staff were gracious and pleasant. The taco bowl was decent but I would have like a bit more filling (beans and shrimp) with the veggies. I asked for extra guac and sour cream and wasn't charged more. For a 1st time visit, I can return and order this same menu item again. Thank you for a amazing visit and being open on a holiday!!

Love this place. The food is authentic and very fresh. We had our rehearsal dinner/birthday dinner here with 9 of us and it was a pleasure. Walter and his staff always deliver a great meal!

Mexican food is delicious, Peruvian dishes are authentic. Great service and very clean restaurant. Prices are a little high but it's well worth it. Outside seating available. Not many people go there because it's hard to see from main road, but I think it's Glen Burnie's best kept secret. I will be going back.

First time eating here and definitely won't be our last. Everything was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was great. This place is a 💎

Very awesome place with amazing food! Would definitely recommend and will definitely come back again and again! Service was speedy and accurate. Staff was super friendly. If you like Hispanic food this is a must try! I had a chimichanga and it was fantastic!

I've enjoyed this place since discovering it many years ago. They have an outdoor patio now, too. The owner is really friendly and accommodating! He's made it a point to introduce himself and chat with our group several times since I've been going there. I was feeling different last time and decided to get the seared tuna. It was the best seared tuna I can remember having. And I eat seafood all over the place. Very impressive and I highly recommend it. This is one of my favorite little restaurants! :)

Me and my sister stayed at the hotel for a week and dined at this restaurant for 3 nights and every night was amazing! Our two waiters Brian and I believe Roger was the other guys name were so incredibly sweet, on our last night Brian told the chef how much we enjoyed the food especially the cookie sundae as we got it as our dessert every night haha, so the chef came out to talk to us and thank us, the whole staff just made it so enjoyable, and the food is amazing! I highly recommend the crab dip as an appetizer and the double tree cookie sundae for dessert.

Good place to come for a quiet dinner. Food was good. I ordered the salmon (blackened) with the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was really good. Workers there were wonderful and so nice. I put only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because the bathrooms are really far and you have to leave the restaurant and go towards the middle of the hotel to find them.

Delicious. Tonight I had the rockfish with crab stuffing and asparagus. And a cup of cream of crab soup. I tend to shy away from asparagus in restaurants because it's either over or under cooked. This was perfect. And the rockfish was perfectly seasoned. I cant say enough about the soup. Creamy with large chunks of crab meat. I did get a shell in my mouth but I didnt even care because it was so fresh and tasty.

Carlos the bartender as amazing. So friendly and helpful, with fantastic food recommendations. We were there for a conference and came back to the hotel 15 minutes before the bar opened. He let us sit at the bar and order drinks while he was setting up. Fantastic service and he didn't charge our colleague, who lived locally and had to drive home, for his club soda.

Stopped in this restuarant for crab cakes while on a solo trip out east! I saw lots of recommendations on the crab cakes and wooow- they were SO TASTY!! 🥰 I would definitely recommend coming here to try them. Also, the service/the bartender I had, Rodger was really great. He was very attentive and nice!

I couldn't get enough of this cream of crab soup. I ate it every day of our stay. The staff was super nice each time we visited and very knowledgeable about the area. I didnt get a picture but the crab cakes were great as well.

I had a room in the Hilton for my usual, early birthday celebration. So I decided to have dinner at the Ports of Call restaurant in the hotel. Glad I did. The reviews were spot on. Carlos was my enthusiastic, heart-warming, inviting, and charming waiter and he was also running the bar with such professionalism as well. My dinner(apologies, no pictures of my food)consisted of the well renowned cream of crab soup. Truly creamy and generous amounts of crab. Then I had the Cesar salad. The portions in this salad were plenty. The atmosphere was so relaxing and welcoming. Carlos was so attentive to everyone in the restaurant. He added more positive energy to my early, private birthday dinner celebrations. No doubt about me heading back there again. Thank you Carlos!

The vibes at this place is so fun! You order at the counter and they bring it to you. Which is different. Super cool drink station where you can use unique coffee cups and do refills yourself. They use random ducks and little toys for your table number. I got the chicken & waffles egg benedict (was delicious), boyfriend got a breakfast burrito (he loved it) Food is fresh. Prices are good. Very busy at the time we went but the wait in line to order took about 10 mins but so worth it. Outdoor seating as well.

All right! To be fair the first time I came here we were pretty disappointed in what we received… can’t even remember what we got. That was five years ago. Things have changed! Every time I walk by and see someone eating outside at a table I asked them how’s the food? I always ask and in most cases people will give me a pretty honest review. And they seem to enjoy it. My wife and I visit Home Goods often to find good quality items for our home and kitchen. And occasionally you want to eat or snack and there are a few places around. Pasticcio, is one of the few pizza joints /Italian restaurants around. And you know how I feel about Pizza, if it ain’t done right I’m not eating it. I love pizza, I love making it at home, but I also love eating it out! I did a review on one of my favorite places… This pizza joint is small, kind of a walk-in and walk out with a few seats inside and some umbrella and tables on the outside to enjoy on a good day. A lot of joints in New York are like this one. They don’t have a brick oven. They do have a double deck Pizza Oven and have quite a few specialty pizzas to choose from. I decided to try out the “grandma style”margarita which isn’t as thick as a deep dish and is slightly thicker than a regular pizza and a little smaller than a Sicilian. With a nice chewy crispy crust. Flavors were there. It was very cheesy. It was a very good slice of pizza. 🍕 My wife, got the “turkey wrap”. It was OK… I’m Not a big fan of wraps that are more wrap than ingredients. This one was a small wrap compared to others we have had before at other locations. But was still good. 👍 there was an Italian guy there speaking Italian and enjoying his pizza. It’s nice to see when people enjoy their food and it’s done right! I do plan on going there again even talked to one of the managers about some video and photos in the kitchen, so I’m sure I may be showcasing them here. But if you are in the Annapolis area and near the mall and would like a slice of pizza or some #Italian food. They have a very big menu, and serve everything from Pasta to #Pizza and more in between. Check them out next time you’re in the Annapolis area or near the Westfield Annapolis Mall. Thanks for stopping by!

It gets a little crowded during lunch , but it's worth the wait. This place has the best pizza I have tried in the DMV. The crunch has almost air pockets that crunch with every bite, no flimsy pizza here. We will be back!

OK folks. Jersey boy here. Pizza aficionado. Haha. Just had a takeout pizza, my usual, extra sausage. My review...OUTSTANDING!!! I've lived in MD for 30 plus years, and have found very few Italian restaurants/pizzeria worthy of a 5 star rating. Pasticci is one of them! The pizza was tasty, crumble sausage (which I Love!), with consistent, thin crust. My wife had the spinach stromboli and plain pizza, which she rated as excellent. Great find. Keep up the great work Pasticci folks!!!

Excellent pizza. 2nd time ive been here. I had the square gmom pizza. Crust was awesome. If im in Annapolis im stopping for a pie. 5 stars on atmosphere csuse i can eat outside.

We have been here a few times over the years, always good. We had sandwiches today, my steak sandwich was good but the bread was just fair. They serve a nice portion of fries. Most of the people were getting a piece of pie. They looked great. Outdoor seating was nice.

The service was very friendly. We got a cheese and pepperoni pizza and they were decent. The cheese was definitely better. They have fair prices compared to other pizza places. The seating is very limited but they do have some outdoor seating as well.

Had a delicious eggplant dish. Was served by a teenage staff who's very attentive. She asked questions to make sure I get what I wanted. The place is clean. But I did not appreciate the way an older lady treated our young server. Either she owns the place or she's the manager. She definitely needs to work on her interpersonal skills. Other than that, Nam's Pho is an excellent place to have delicious Asian food.

The best pho place in Maryland AND the US!! The short rib pho especially is gigantic and sososo tender. One order of the short rib pho is more than enough for 2 people! 🍖 I could tell that they made the pho broth from scratch. It’s a nice dark color with rich flavor 😋 This is my third visit and I’ve been bringing everyone with me. They also have homemade Jasmine tea (sweet & unsweetened) and it is sooooooo good 👍

We love Nam’s! One of our very favorite spots for phở. Love the large vegan menu. Everything we’ve had has been delicious and the staff are so nice. Thank you!

This place is truly exceptional. The owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding; the pho was excellent, with a rich, flavorful broth that's perfect for cold weather and rice plate with meat was delicious as well!! And thank you for the jasmine tea! It was the perfect post-meal choice, refreshing my palate with its delightful jasmine scent. Thank you! 😊👍

Absolutely the best pho broth I have ever had. We just returned from Saigon. This place is worthy of the best in Saigon.

Back again today and sooo good ! Was very happy with Nam's Pho. It had a clean, friendly vibe and the food was delicious. My husband had Pho and I tried the chicken and rice. Both were outstanding. Very happy with the experience.

The House, Brisket and Meatball, Pho, was absolutely delicious! They have Jasmine Tea from Vietnam which was the most flavorful hot tea that I have ever tasted. The restaurant is fairly small seating wise and seems to be more geared for takeout business.
