Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Annapolis – 2024

Went for dinner tonight and Wow! The food was delicious. Everything from the steak rolls, lobster and filet were all great. The night was made special by the excellent service from Brittany. If you plan on visiting this restaurant definitely ask for Brittany she will take great care of you.

The decor, location, parking and food was all great. Arrived on a Tuesday night prior to happy hour. Was able to find a table behind the bar. However, we were informed order two happy hour appetizers and drinks. The drinks came out rather late well after the food. Was pretty irritated that my drink came out halfway after my food was done without any more than laughing that it So late she could have made it. We ordered the steak rolls and brussel sprouts. Both were very good and fresh hot. Bathrooms were clean and the place was not busy. The waitress was very nice but didn't do anything for the extremely late drink.

Okay, let's talk food!!! We had a wonderful time at Tuscan Prime. I took my wife there for her birthday. Look, I love their birthday celebration with the singing and the big sparkle...Nice touch! She had a great time and and the food was great. Our server Brittany was really good. She was knowledgeable and made us feel like we were special. The atmosphere was romantic and modern. Since I had my children, I will hold back on how romantic it was.. Great time had, by all.

We sat outside on the dock, it was a great atmosphere with live music. The server was helpful and friendly and was able to help make modifications to dishes that we would like. The food was pretty good and the drinks were fun and tropical.

Drinks were so-so, served in plastic cups, but that is to be expected for an outside bar. The only waterfront bar in downtown Annapolis and always has a buzz. Nice view of the Naval Academy Chapel dome. Nice place to stop after a Woodwind sunset sail. .

Pussers is a must stop whenever we are in Annapolis! Typically we have lunch or dinner here but this time we just dropped in for drinks. Definitely recommend getting a Pain Killer (21+) with either a #3 or #4. It’s right on the water so outside seating is really nice when the weather permits. We have not had a bad experience with this place.

What a fantastic restaurant for a hotel! A true Executive Chef and his multiple awarded crab soup. Obviously a nautical themed restaurant with super friendly staff and delicious food. No complaints!

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.

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.

Amazing experience!!! Best calamari I've had in a long time, as well as the fried green tomatoes. Service was good and all food came out within a decent time. Great atmosphere there also.

Loved this place! The food, scenery friendly staff.. Our attendant, Catherine was very warm and friendly. She attended to all our requests in such a way that added to the charm of the place. The food was well prepared, and very tasty. The restaurant was also very welcoming of our fur baby which made us like it even more!!

Great historic restaurant in downtown Annapolis, in an amazing location right by the water. The menu has a good combo of seafood and non seafood options all reasonably priced. The food was delicious and the service was very good. The only caveat is that the restaurant closes earlier than what is posted based on demand of how crowded the streets are at the time, and because the restaurant is so old that there was a roach on our table. Otherwise the atmosphere inside is very cozy with a fireplace and bar making it perfect for date or group outings. Very solid choice especially for its location right at the Annapolis waterfront

We both ordered the four-course meal for $48 and ended up getting quite a few leftovers. Our service was spectacular and very friendly. We enjoyed our food quite a bit although it’s not the best Italian I’ve had. The burrata appetizer was my personal favorite course. My husband had the calamari which he enjoyed, and the house salads were very good. My husband ordered the farfalle di cremona, which he said was very filling, and I chose the risotto of the day which was with shrimp and asparagus, and equally filling. We both took half our entrees home. The risotto was good but not great, sorry to say. It needed acid and a few fresh herbs. When I ate it today for lunch, I added a squeeze of lemon and a little chopped basil and oregano. This made all the difference. We had the affogato and chocolate mousse for dessert which was so rich and decadent.

First time here. Had the Penne Vodka and the risotto. Both were very good and portion size was generous, meals for 2 + big dessert was about $60, which isn’t bad these days for this quality of food. Service was also excellent and food was moving quickly out the kitchen despite full dining room. Would recommend making reservations, the place is tiny so accommodating walk-ins is difficult.

Got the four course meal and it is entirely worth it. Entrée was big enough for dinner the next day and the food quality is just incredible. Best food I've ever had.

The epitome of an upscale, old school, steakhouse. Family owned and operated this restaurant is known as the best steakhouse in Annapolis, a well-deserved moniker. Excellent service, melt in your mouth steak, family style sides, and unbelievable crabcacks You won't be disappointed!

Celebrated our 30th anniversary with our first dinner at Lewnes' - and we were not disappointed! We split the bone-in filet and the rib-eye, and they were both delicious - with a lean toward the filet. Top notch arriving l service and quality sides. You get what you pay for at Lewnes'.

1st time here, and it was a Belated Father's Day dinner for my dad and brother. Both are steak snobs, yet they were thoroughly impressed. Matt, our server was excellent! We took an hour drive to get here, and they accommodated my dad, who is an amputee. It was a perfect evening. Thanks again, we will be back!

Our first time. Came in for my birthday this past Monday, 7/1/24 around 6pm. Our server was fantastic and was very thorough. When we walked in, several hostesses welcomed us with a smile. It was a slower night and everyone was really on top of their game. I've worked approximately 20 years in the service industry and was extremely impressed with everything from the service to the food and little details.

Really nice location and our server was wonderful. We got appetizers, drinks and lunch. She recommended we get a second piece of bread for the crab dip right out of the gate and she was right-on with that suggestion. We all enjoyed our food and beverages very much and we sat on an enclosed patio and could view the parking lot and water. Highly recommend.

It has a nice outdoor patio overlooking city center and the docks. Food was decent, make sure to gran the attention of a server to place your order, if not, you could wait awhile. Decent drink selection, the margarita was perfectly made.

I had a wonderful dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the pizza, and the martini was marvelous. The waitstaff was attentive and made sure everything was perfect. I sat out front and truly enjoyed the ambiance. Highly recommend! Update: since we stayed next door for the week during the sailboat show, this was our go-to restaurant. Drew was phenomenal and very polite and helpful. Five that guy a raise!

Crab cakes had great flavor but did have a little more filler than I prefer. At a set menu event so didn't get the full experience but I was happy with the overall experience. Wait staff were very attentive.

This is a sleeper value pick for quality dining in the heart of Annapolis. You'll find generous portions for the price compared to the local white-cloth fare (especially if you stick with the apps, brunch, and casual options). We have yet to try the dinner entrees or cocktails, but they sound very nice. The staff are busy, attentive, and polite. Today we had the cream of crab soup, turkey croissant, and the Ensign pizza. Picture included. Highly recommended. We'll be back soon for drinks and a different pizza. Edit: Try the french fries if you have space. They are among the best I've ever eaten!

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.

Cooper's Hawk never disappoints. We attended the wine club tasting and the hostess Ms Tracy was very accommodating with switching out wines to our liking. I ordered a vegetable enchilada dish and it was amazing. The Mr. ordered the pork chop with mashed potatoes and a side green salad. We can't wait for our next visit!

Had a nice evening out at Cooper's Hawk in Annapolis. Enjoy the overall style, ambiance and feel of this winery/ restaurant. The food was pretty good and so was the service. I really liked the Chicken Martini but the wine sauce was a little too sweet for me. The Thai chili wraps were just okay (needed more Thai chili flavoring). You can never go wrong with a Lemon Drop. I recommend you get the Betty's (shredded potato gratin dish) potatoes over the Mary's ( mashed potatoes). But friends really enjoyed their Mary's potatoes. The Drunken shrimp were really just a little tipsy but they were good.

Chart House is a true gem in Annapolis, offering a perfect blend of exceptional food, attentive service, and stunning waterfront views. We recently celebrated a friend's birthday here, and it reminded us why we love this place. The romantic atmosphere, enhanced by beautiful sunsets and the sight of boats coming and going, sets the perfect backdrop for any special occasion. Each dish we ordered was expertly prepared and delicious, earning rave reviews from everyone at the table. The service was impeccable—our staff was knowledgeable and genuinely dedicated to making our experience memorable. Having dined here several times, we can confidently recommend Chart House for anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a picturesque setting. It’s a must-visit in Annapolis!

Wonderful view and food! I had a great dinning experience. Overall I think the price is on the higher end but still reasonable for the quality of food and service. The restaurant is busy, so making reservation is recommended!

It's not cheap, but it is always a pleasure to go here after attending a boat show at the city docks. The food is great. This month, they are supporting breast cancer awareness by donating with the purchase of drinks. I had one, and it was strong and delicious. Some had steaks, and some had seafood, but everything was presented beautifully and delicious.

For a first timer, the food was delicious! So good, we ordered some to go. I would definitely recommend the crab and guacamole dip, rack of lamb, seafood dish with shrimp and crab meat, and stuffed lobster tails.

The best Sea Scallops we’ve ever had! Wonderful tastes everywhere, and great presentations with the deep fried phyllo dough on the Scallops. The wine in the Red Wine Onion Soup and Sherry in the Cream of Crab soup are excellent. Nothing is too salty, including the Maryland Crab Dip; it’s full of flavors and textures. The view from the covered patio, well it’s Annapolis Yacht Basin. The full bar has a great design and is backed up by an extensive wine list. This is full service.

This place has a phenomenal view if you are lucky enough to sit outside. We had several appetizers, the hush puppies with the jalapeno butter were the tables favorite. The coconut shrimps were very crispy and the sauce was delicious. The fried tomatoes with the goat cheese were just okay. For our main entree the rockfish was good and flavorful. However, we wish there was more butter sauce and it came with a hotter side. The crab and shrimp pasta was tasty even though there were not many pieces of corn. The shrimp and scallops Thai dish was extremely flavorful with a good spicy kick.

We've been here a few times, and each time is a 10/10! It was such a busy night, and still the staff/our waiter, Kurt, was warm and accommodating. He always came by with a huge smile and was proactive in looking in on us, so we were never in need. He did a great job, not only with us, but from what I could tell with his other tables as well. The food...give the chef(s) a chefs kiss because AMORE! From the bread at the beginning (which it could not get enough of) to the wild salmon special (chef kiss again), everything was fantastic. It was the best preparation of salmon I've either ever had or had in ages. Melted like butter. I'll always recommend this place to come with family (kid friendly), friends, date night, or whatever occasion.

Perfection. This place is an easy recommendation. The quality of food for the price is very reasonable. The service is top tier. Never had to wait long for our waiter. The space could be a little tight depending on which table you are placed at. This does not change the fact that this is easily one of my new top restaurants to go to.

Genuinely can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. I still dream about the carbonara. And don’t sleep on dessert either their espresso martinis and almond cake are out of this world!

My family and I went here for the first time a few days ago and were blown away by how good it was! We all agreed it was the best crab cake we've ever had. The crab cake dinner was so large that 4 people in the group split 2 of the dinners and it was plenty of food because the crab cakes themselves were SO full of crab meat, they were very filling. The sides and desserts were amazing too!

We had to swing by here and have their crab cake sandwich before heading back home to VB. We got there on a Sunday afternoon and they were packed! We managed to get a table within 20 minutes though. Food and service were great. Loved there she crab soup too and the calamari was nice and crispy. See pics. We left full and satisfied. No complaints.

The food and drinks lived up to all the past good reviews. The crabcakes were delicious and full of wonderful lumps of crab and not a lot of filling. Our server was attentive, and food came out fast. The indoor dining had a good vibe, however its very loud with a full dining room. Pricing is on the high end. Their parking lot is small and it is a challenge to find street parking close. Take-out is also available.

Went here for date night. Cute resturant. Service and food was good. Wish the tables had a little more privacy. We were seated in the middle right next to another table. Just wish the seating was better. There were some booths but we were not offered to sit there. Overall it was good and I would go back. The peach lemonade was on point!

An incredible evening - great food, cozy feel, and attentive service from Jenna! Especially loved the Brussels sprouts, short rib, creole pasta, filet, and had the BEST brownie we’d ever tasted. We will be back!!

I came in on Monday even with a friend and we had a blast! Food and drinks were amazing ( you have to try their fried green tomatoes). Hannah was the best server and made sure we were well taking care of! 10/10 recommend!

The restaurant is built inside and old bank’s building. Food is Great, not easy to find a place like that when it comes about food. Wine selection is huge and very detailed. If you know about wine this is the place for you Seats are comfy, server was so nice. Olive oil is 10/10. Original extravirgin Italian, no cap. Music selection is great either in the main restaurant and in the basement, where they have a bar area and a speak easy. We shared antipasti, pappardelle and a custom mix (not on the menù) of filet medallions with different sauces. Cooked at perfection the filets were great. Lamb pappardelle were also delicious. And of course the antipasti were simply so yummy. I highly recommend this place.

Service was top notch. The filet was cooked to perfection and was very good. The downside is the menu items. Not so much for the average Joe like myself.

This place is on another level. We’ve dined at the location in DC. Our server was from Rome, which definitely gave the ambiance a more authentic feel. Even if we didn’t have an Italian server, the food would have spoken for itself. We ordered both the pasta and steak samplers, which is a great way to get the best that the restaurant has to offer. The balsamic and blueberry steaks are memorable to say the least. Aside from the top notch food, it’s a fun place to gather in the heart of Annapolis. It would be perfect for a date or a night out with friends.
