First time guests during an overnight in Annapolis, MD. restaurant less than 1/2 mile from hotel and Annapolis docks. Location is nestled in a neighborhood near docks and across from Ruth’s Chris steakhouse. Parking lot in rear with street parking available. Reservations preferred since limited seating inside. We had a 530 dinner. A bar is also featured. The food was well-prepared, but we had to ask for bread service which was one roll each with butter. The wine list and menu had nice choices. We did not have dessert, no sorbet or cheesecake was listed. Overall, we enjoyed it and would recommend it.

If you're in Annapolis, eat at Seasalt. It's outstanding in every way. Everything we ordered was fantastic, and most items were prepared with a unique (in a good way) twist. The salt bread and seasoned butter, for example, are absolutely worth ordering -- maybe the best bread we've ever eaten in the U.S. Ceasar salad had a deliciously light dressing with great anchovy flavor. The scallops were tender and seared perfectly -- and were accompanied by a delicious, seasoned butter sauce. Service was flawless, and the patio seating was most pleasant. A really terrific dining experience!
