   Too many servers talking together and non responsive. Food “plopped” on plate, no effort. “”Kitchen appreciation charge”- really? If you want to save some money, get rid of a few non working staff. Oysters served hot were burned to the shell- didn’t really appreciate that! You need a real, experienced manager, and this restaurant could be awesome. Soups were good. Raw oysters were good.

   Always an enjoyable experience here. This is my favorite place for a nice seafood dinner. Their focus on quality and sustainability is what makes them the best.

   5 stars as usual - exceptional start to finish, reservations, greeting, the best table, leisurely food & drink (attentive service), finished off with the Baltimore Bomb dessert and hello from the Chef!

   Drink service was so very slow! Our reservation was at 7 and we got our drinks almost 30 min after being seated. Our appetizers came before the drinks. Ordered a port with desert which came 10min after desert and min before the check. Waitress was not responsive when we asked about the drinks. We are 0/2 on the last two visits and will be taking a long break before we go back if ever.

   Really enjoyed the restaurant and the food was very good. The bread was killer, it should be available to buy. Could have been a little warmer inside, it was rather chilly. Other than that, nice restaurant with good menu, and very good food.

   Since this was our first time here, we wanted to sample various appetizers and main courses. We started off with cocktails and they were all very good. We loved the mushroom toast. We did the sampler of seafood and it was a nice way for 4 people to sample the clams, mussels, oysters, and shrimp. We then shared some of the main courses. The rockfish was excellent. The hamburger was amazing, which we didn’t expect at an oyster house. By the time we left, the place was full but it was never so noisy for us to hear each other. All of the servers were wonderful and we never felt rushed. We will drive 35 minutes to come here again!

    We enjoyed our visit to True Chesapeake Oyster Company. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars for service was how long it took for our order to be taken. We would go back again. It is very pricey so we will go for special occasions.

    We enjoyed ourselves but there were way too few waitstaff. Two dishes were overcooked, a charred hamburger and over done steak. The rest of the food was tasty.

    Food was delicious . Especially the oyster stew. It was to die for. The service was very good even though they were very crowded. The noise level was very good. I was able to speak to my partner in a normal tone. We did not have to yell at each other, like we have done in a lot of crowded restaurants. I would recommend this restaurant anytime.

    Beautiful space and attentive service. The food was good although my eggs in the Benedict were ove-cooked and the biscuit were a bit dense. The, oysters, however, were the stars of the meal.

    First time visiting this restaurant but it certainly won’t be the last. Every dish we had was absolutely delicious. A few standouts include the oyster Cesar salad, steak tartar, chili Brussels sprouts, cauliflower soup and the ribeye entree. We also had an assortment of raw oysters which were really clean and delicious. The apple sorbet was also really delicious as was the vanilla bean ice cream. The atmosphere is great for any occasion but especially a date. Parking was good too and the service was swift and attentive. Highly recommend and will visit again.

    First time at True Chesapeake. It was outstanding! Wait staff friendly and informative. Oysters we tasty and very cold. Crab Mac and cheese excellent. If you want to go here but someone is not a seafood lover the burger is very tasty. And the bread! Two thumbs up.

    My wife and I were very impressed with True Chesapeake. The food was tremendous. I tried the Chicken fried snakehead, which Austin, our waiter, recommended and it was excellent. My wife enjoyed her pasta and salad. The farm-raised oysters were large and flavorful. We enjoyed the overall experience very much. Though it's within walking distance of Hampden, it feels far removed down near the Falls. The restaurant space was a dramatic renovation of an 1800s mill building, and the space was beautiful, though perhaps a bit loud. I will definitely return soon. The prices are on the higher end, but entirely reasonable when compared to other places in Hampden with far inferior quality. I recommend True Chesapeake to anyone.

    Our first time visiting, it was on a Wednesday evening in January. My son and I were in the mood for raw oysters and they did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the happy hour drinks and discounted oysters and then sat at a table for a lite supper afterwards. Beautiful space and very cordial staff. I look forward to visiting again soon.

    Once again our date night was fabulous at True Chesapeake Oyster! Our starters, roasted oysters, blue crab dip with grilled bread and crispy homemade potato chips, were a great start and our entrees, fried oysters and seared rockfish, were delicious. Thanks to Margaret, our cheerful server and Patrick Hudson ( my Pawleys Island buddy) for a wonderful evening. Dotsi Morgan Hoffman
