    Cream of crab soup was amazing as many have said. The Maryland crab was not, nor really anything else…crab cake was fine but nothing to write home about. Steak, fish and chips and rockfish were all bland and not good. Wanted to like this place but won’t be back.

    Situated in the heart of histroic downtown Annapolis, this venue is the perfect place to soak in the charm, the history, and most of all, a place to dine inside or in the garden. Excellent menu, great service, choice of beverages, a bar, and, of course, delicious seafood, notably the crab cakes. Perfect choice for large groups or an intimate date. Our waitress was charming, caring, and attentive.

    Celebrating a birthday from out of town. We had changed plans last minute to choose O’Brien’s due to reviews and rankings in recent publications. lol, unbeknownst to us this is the home of the “Santa Speedo Run”. Haven’t been downtown Annapolis in probably 30 years for varied reasons including parking but we selected downtown due to the weather and atmosphere. Upon arriving before our reservation we were pleasantly welcomed and quickly sat by the front window, maybe not ideal, being between the bar and the street but everything was lively. Mrs Erin, stopped to fill our waters that had just previously been done before by a passing gentleman, we inquired if she was our waitress, she stated she didn’t know but took the initiative and was a phenomenal accent to our experience. Her personality and attention to detail, positive affirmations and/or suggestions about the menu were absolutely spot on. We loved her personality, she was caring and relatable that we could not have asked for someone greater than her. The oysters & crab dip as appetizers were quite a welcome to O’Brien’s culinary offerings, followed by the spicy Cajun seafood jambalaya and Branzino were complimentary choices. Overall a grand experience on a celebratory evening, definitely returning. Still talking about the Branzino and Oysters not that anything was subpar but those were impressive. Thank O’Brien’s & Erin for a job well done.

    Food is below average and way overpriced! Surprised that in this market, they have been able to sustain themselves!

    went on mothers day, busy day. All staff except our server were bitter and bothered to even have us show up for our reservation. Table was not ready and they offered a 4 top table for a 6 person party. They did move us, but it took 20 minutes to get the dirty table they moved us to-wiped down. Our server was nice but seemed overwhelmed. Food took forever but was fine, not great. Couldn't get dirty dishes cleared from table. Overall just a really mediocre experience outside of our nice server.
