This place is very Annapolis in a very local way. One of the best sailors hangouts anywhere. They will have video from local around the buoy racing on the TVs following regattas. If you look hard enough you will find my name on a couple trophies in there.

Simply incredible! Amazing creative local farm to table dishes! No reservations. The wait is not only worth it but a lot of fun. Most nights the lounge is crowded with other like minded foodies enjoying a drink waiting for their table. A very Eastport experience.

If you want a Steak... I am not saying Ruth's Chris isn't great. I am saying Lewnes' is a little better. This is a full service fine dining restaurant. When my wife and I want to go out this is our go to. Definitely make reservations.

Guy Fieri stopped here when he was doing his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. This place is local Eastport comfort food at its finest. If you are in town Monday-Wednesday stop in for lunch and enjoy homemade pot roast, meatloaf, or thanksgiving dinner for less then $10. There are covered outdoor picnic tables with full service overlooking Back Creek. This is also a great place to have some drinks with the locals late into the evening. Friendly, always entertaining bunch. Great for when you are tired of Downtown and you just want to relax.

Great spot to watch boats headed into Annapolis Harbor and see the sailboats finishing Wednesday night races. In the Winter there is frostbite racing to watch on Sunday afternoon. Excellent menu. Make sure you order the Lava Cake at the beginning of the meal! This is also a water taxi stop. The boat will take right into downtown.
