Carrol's Creek Cafe

Carrol's Creek Cafe is of my favorite restaurants. The food and service are always high quality and you cannot beat the view!

A short walk over the bridge from historic Annapolis, this restaurant provided a memorable dinner experience for my out-of-town guest and me. We chose to eat inside due to the humidity and were seated at a window overlooking the beautiful Annapolis harbor. There were so many wonderful choices on the menu, that we decided to do about 6 small plates to share. They were all wonderful, especially the baked oysters with bacon, horseradish and cheddar cheese. A very enjoyable meal!

One of the nicest and my favorite restaurant in Annapolis. The shrimp, crab cakes and scallops dishes are always outstanding. Wait staff are always friendly and helpful.

Outdoor deck is wonderful on a sunny day.

This restaurant was outstanding! The options and diversity in the menu is wonderful. There are options at this place that are just unique spins on well known favorites. Our server knew the menu very well and made great recommendations. Our server did a great job of bringing out each course exactly when it was needed and our glasses were never empty. Lastly, I must say this - I have had Rockfish many times and in many places. This place has the absolute best hands down! We will certainly be going back to Carrol's Creek Café again and again...

Carrols Creek is always a good experience. The view is great and food and service is exceptional.

A great place to dine We have always had a great dinner here and were not disappointed this time too.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious and service is excellent.

This got good reviews so we tried it for lunch. Both of us were disappointed in the food.

For many years - since the 1980's- we have used Carrol's Creek for many of our special occasions. The food and service are the best and we will continue to be pleased patrons.

Great service from Evona. Nice evening. They also have a great "club" program.

We had the Best Server!!! He was awesome!!! His attention to detail and personable manner just made the experience,

They need to renovate! The place seems a bit dated in the dining area.

First, the Pro - Food was good. I ordered halibut from the specials and although the actual fish was bland, each of the sides of scalloped potatoes and asparagus were exceptional, and I would order it again. My wife ordered the rockfish (house specialty) and IMHO the best meal at the table. Another at our table ordered the scallops and they were VERY good, 2nd best at the table.

Cons - hostess needs customer skills. two women at the hostess stand. The younger of the two greeted us with a smile and welcome, Older nothing no greeting no smile no acknowledgement at all. Gave my name, reservation and party and heard Older mention a number, younger questioned it Older said yes, 42 or similar. Escorted to the back of the restaurant into corner against a wall. Refused that tanle and shown to a booth outside the kitchen. Not the best, but better than looking at a wall all night. Thing is, at least a dozen empty tables throughout the place! I did mention to the hostess seating us of our disappointment, found it insulting, said I expected better. What Did we do to Older that she felt compelled to seat us in a corner against a wall when we made reservations weeks ago? Another hostess visited our table recognizing we weren’t pleased with the first table and offered to move us yet again but to a window table. Why not offered that to begin with?

Also, in this day and age where servers are petitioning for higher wages and better tips, they need to make sure they deserve it. We ordered two appetizers and I ordered a bowl of their “award winning” crab soup. Although The appetizers came the soup never did. I had to ask if it was forgotten (it was) and a bowl was rushed out to me. I was still eating it when our entrees arrived. Then, when I asked for a refill of my drink my glass was removed but a refill never arrived. I had to ask server again. When 20% tip is in excess of $30, service needs to be premiere. It was way off the mark but she was still tipped $35, 20%.

Food was exceptionally well prepared. Crab cakes were well seasoned and all crab. Cioppino broth was robust, with each piece of fish distinct and flavorful. No mush here!

This was my 2nd visit to Carrol's Creek. This time we were three couples. The lobster tails were a bit dry and bland, but everything else was delicious. The vegetables were nice and crisp, and the rice was moist and tender. We shared 4 appetizers, which were all good as well. I was tempted by the rockfish (a specialty) but my GF ordered it, so I tried something from the specials. She said hers was excellent. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well.

Lovely view. Celebrating an anniversary with friends. The staff was very friendly. An anniversary card had also been placed on our table. Complimentary dessert for the celebration as well. The food was simply awesome as was the presentation. I enjoyed the beet salad and would recommend as an appetizer. Crab cakes for my entree. My husband ordered the scallops. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will return!

Carrol Creek was recommended by friends and we were not disappointed. We will surely return even though we live over an hour away.

Excellent Food! Excellent Service! Really loved this place!

This place was a great find! Been coming to Annapolis for 35 years and never knew Carrol’s existed. I do now and will certainly be back!

Our meal and appetizers were good but I had ordered a Filet Mignon medium rare and it came well done. I mentioned it but ate anyway so as not to cause a scene with our guests Disappointing.

A little pricey, but great service and food was awesome. Might want to install fans in the ceilings outside for those very hot days.

Amazing food, view and service! Highly recommend!

This was our favorite meal during our long weekend visit to Annapolis. The food and service were excellent. The rockfish was particularly good. The flourless chocolate cake garnished with toasted macadamia nuts was excellent with the suggested wine paring. We sat inside which has a nice view of the water, but was a bit too brightly lit once it starting getting dark outside. When we were ready to leave, we asked about the water taxi back across to downtown and the woman at the front desk called it for us.

Fantastic food, service, and views! Best scallops in Maryland.

Great view

Great food,location,service and view

It was a very good experience. Food was delicious, as it has been in the past. Great setting. Great service. Highly recommend.

Excellent food & service in a waterfront location. Outstanding in all respects.

My wife and I have dined here before and it does not disappoint. We love the sea food the empanadas the crab cakes and the scallops which are all top notch. They were very accommodating in our seating and our waiter Mark did all he could and more to bring our food ASAP as we had our six month old with us.
It’s a shame the summer is over as we really love the deck.
Great place. Highly recommend and we will return next summer!!!

The food was excellent. The waiter extremely efficient BUT our request for a water view was not honored and there were better tables available. We were seated at table by the door to the deck-traffic was heavy and loud I noticed a another table more suited to my request and asked to be changed, which was done immediately.

Excellent location and food!

Simply outstanding! Well deserving of one of the top 100 scenic restaurants in the United States. The waitstaff (Kasey) was wonderful and the food was outstanding. If yiu are in Annapolis MD and yiu don't stop here you're making a big mistake!

Service here is amazing the food is equally as good -the fish is always fresh and ingredients are well thought out .

Particularly like the salad options and the many supplemental toppings such as a crab cake or shrimp.

Consistently good food! With a friendly and accommodating staff.

This was our first time to the restaurant, and our first impression of the service was mediocre. After being seated, we waited about 5 minutes to be greeted by our server, and only after we mentioned it to one of the staff. It was surprising that we needed to ask - they weren't busy in the dining room - there was only one other couple already seated. The server was attentive afterwards throughout the meal. The food was great. The air conditioning system was a bit noisy; we were near one of the overhead vents.

Beautiful view, superb food and service; plus a great location with ample parking!

Our daughter chose this restaurant to celebrate her 17th birthday. Although we'd never been here, the reviews were fantastic and we were looking forward to our visit. Everything was very nice and our waiter surprised her with flourless chocolate cake as a birthday dessert. We will definitely be back!

Had never been to Carrol's before. Potluck choice online while keeping appointment in Annapolis. Weather was great for outdoor lunch. Food was excellent and Butters (our waiter) was efficient and friendly. Would definitely return.
