• Seafood • Hampden

True Chesapeake is a Baltimore restaurant born of an oyster farm. Executive Chef Zack Mills creates a seasonal menu that showcases oysters from our farm in St. Jerome’s Creek, Southern Maryland — raw, roasted, and in signature dishes like Classic Rockefeller and French Onion Oysters. But, the oysters are just the beginning. Our award winning menu celebrates the bounty of the Chesapeake region by using locally sourced seafood, meat, and produce to create exquisite dishes that evolve with the seasons. Chef Mills has been featured extensively for his use of invasive seafood species, a very delicious way to help the Chesapeake Bay. Don't forget to order the Blue Crab and Bone Marrow dip or handmade pasta. We have an expertly curated wine list, beer selection, and cocktails - both classic and creative. Ample bar, high-top, and terrace seating available for walk-ins on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The food was really delicious and exquisite in quality. Idk if it was the owner or the manager but he helped fix the wobbly table that we got. The drinks are really good, the appetizers are delicious, and the pasta was to die for personally.

$4 extra surcharge for every gluten free dish is quite expensive. Gluten free tres leche cake is phenomenal.

We sit outside by the fountain and we always try to have Peter serve us. The food is generally okay, my husband says that my cooking is better, but yesterday I had the seafood linguine and it was excellent; my husband's salmon alla bella was okay.
