Had a fantastic Sunday brunch with great service and even better food. The meat and oysters were amazing.

Cocktails were sweet but tasty. The cocktail menu covered all the basic spirits with creative syrups. We had the Chesapeake oysters - they were wonderful! Shared the short ribs pasta - outstanding flavor and quite the comfort food - very large dish, perfect for sharing. Also added a side of Brussels sprouts - I was happy they were not too greasy or too sweet. Nice atmosphere, not too just and friendly service.

Drew was very personable and definitely has a servant's heart. He was very nice and attentive to our needs.

If you are looking for great tasting food that is also beautifully plated, you've come to the right place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and our server made sure we felt like his special guests. This was a nice experience. Ask for Chris!

I recently visited Blackwall Hitch for brunch with a friend on her birthday. We went on a Sunday morning when the restaurant first opened at 10:00 am. We were one of the first ones to arrive. What we didn't realize is that you needed a reservation for Sunday brunch. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us with a table in the bar area which also happened to be where all the food was set up. Score! I guess for some, that may not be the most ideal seating because there could potentially be a lot of commotion in the area when people are getting their food. We were perfectly fine. Once we were seated, a server came by to ask if we wanted any other drinks besides water and then we were free to go grab food. The brunch at Blackwall Hitch is set up buffet style. They have a great spread, including an omelet station and carving station. Waffles were also freshly made. They had all the breakfast goods, including grits, bacon, french toast, and breakfast potatoes. They also had a fish of the day and a cold seafood display. There was a chocolate fountain and a nice dessert display as well. Sadly, I was too full for any dessert or pastries as I went for all the food. A diner at a table next to us raved about their blueberry muffins. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Blackwall Hitch. This is actually a place that was on my "to try" list when I was living in Maryland. I'm glad I finally got the chance to check it out.

Ricky and julian are great! they made sure we were doing well and make sure we were well maintained! the food was very good and the restaurant is nice as well, definitely recommend if you want to have a great experience!

This place was pretty good. It's not directly in downtown Annapolis, which makes it great for not being stuck in traffic. They do have ample parking and it's on the corner of a street. The best part about this location is the venue both downstairs and upstairs. We decided to do rooftop dining. The rooftop is a little tight and you do have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the rooftop, but it's quaint and in the summertime shaded and in the fall, still protected from the elements. The wait staff was a little bit slower than if you ate downstairs. However, they were very accommodating and apologetic when we needed to wait for our drinks to come. We ordered a Caesar salad, which was great dressing wasn't too heavy. And we ordered calamari and wings. The espresso martini was pretty good. It's more on the dark side than the creamy side. And the prices were great for being a place that serves both bar food but also entrées that fill you up. If you are looking for a great place to hang out with nice company where everybody is friendly this local Restaurant is a great place to get your feet wet in downtown Annapolis.

I went on a date yesterday to Blackwall Hitch in Annapolis. Last time I visited this location was maybe 4-5 yrs ago. This location is beautiful on the inside, aesthetically pleasing and clean. Our server was Jayden. He was very personable and attentive. He took great care of us and explained the whole menu over with his recommendations. We went with four of his recommendations and they did not disappoint. The lavender French 75 was so refreshing and I love butterfly Pea so I was excited to try. One of his other recommendations was the crab dip for an appetizer and crab stuffed rockfish for dinner. They both were amazing. One comment on the rockfish, I feel like it was a tad overcooked. I also replaced the rice & corn with their Brussels sprouts. It was soooo amazing! The Brussels sprouts at Blackwall still remain some of the best I ever had. The sauce they come in is so good! For dessert, we both had the cookie dough espresso martinis Jayden also recommended. They were surprisingly good. I def got the hints after each sip. I throughly enjoyed my time at Blackwall. I can't wait to dine again. It will definitely be sooner than years later this go around.

I recently went to Blackwall in Annapolis for a solo thanksgiving meal this year. This was my first visit bit it won't be my last. My server, Jenna, was amazing and explained the buffet style setup and was great with suggestions for drinks. Very attentive and sweet. There was a variety of options including carving stations for turkey, prime rib, and ham. I tried a bit from every station. While all the options were tasty, I got seconds of the prime rib and mashed potatoes. They also f had a variety of Thanksgiving sides so something for everyone. The manager stopped by to check on all guests. The music created such a relaxing ambiance. For drinks, I got a very strong winter spice old fashioned and their house cab which was very smooth. I can't wait to come back to try their regular menu!

Yes, yes, yes! Arrived on a Tuesday afternoon about 2 PM and we were seated immediately. They have dining room, bar and roof outdoor seating. It was way too hot to sit on the roof. Love the nautical decor. It is tastefully done. Lots of options on the menu and I opted for the mahi-mahi tacos with plantain chips. Very tasty. Nice balance of flavors and a great cook on the fish. Service was excellent. I will definitely be back.
