"1st time here always wanted to try! The prices are pretty steep for the location the offerings. I so wanted to try the pettine risotto, but $34 is nuts for rice!! Started at the bar with a Yuengling a Naughty Flight Attendant, which was a little coconut rum forward, but still very good. Didn't taste boozy, which can be dangerous, lol. The bartender was just average. She chatted more with the servers than us. We moved to a table got a couple of beers ordered the fried brussel sprouts, sliced ahi tuna stuffed mushrooms apps forgot to take pics of them as we were super hungry oops! Brussels went perfectly with the bourbon glaze dipping sauce (not sure what it was, but it was yummy). They were cooked perfectly the portion size was pretty good for 3 ppl. The ahi tuna was tasty the spicy honey sauce that came with it made it even better. Stuffed mushrooms were delicious with a mild fennel sausage flavor in a light butter wine sauce. Moved onto entrees: grilled chicken sandwich, monkey burger, southern mac n cheese special the round trip steak wrap. Everything came out hot was excellent. Mac n cheese was super creamy, made with campanella pasta, which was a perfect vessel for the yummy cheese sauce pulled pork to cling to. Definitely a hearty, stick to your ribs meal. The monkey burger was cooked exactly as requested and super flavorful. Steak wrap was very good. Meat was tender. Meat was the star of the entree; however, it was supposed to be spicy, but didn't taste very spicy at all. Grilled chicken sandwich was also delicious moist. The aioli that came with it was fantastic...best we've had. The fries were shoestring style, which aren't my favorite, but they were still cooked well, but lacked salt. Ended with a peanut butter whiskey dessert drink a creme brulee, which was slightly warm, super creamy, but a little loose in texture. Brulee was just right with no burnt taste. PB drink wasn't what we accepted. Thought it would be more of a milkshake thickness. You definitely can taste the PB flavor tasted a bit boozy/strong. Our server, Danielle, was attentive very pleasant. Didn't feel rushed at all, even when it started getting busy. The bathrooms were kind of dark smelled like oranges, which was a nice surprise. Not counting the 2 drinks at the bar, our total bill, for 4ppl was $215 tip. Remember...that was for LUNCH! We will absolutely go back, just not running back soon...our wallet needs to recoup!"

"While traveling, we like to dine at different restaurants. I did some online research and decided to try Chesapeake Seafood. I was intrigued by the history of the establishment and the Early Bird menu looked great. Specials from 3:30 to 5:30 were perfect for us; as we planned an early dinner after some historical tours before returning to our hotel. Upon arrival, about 4 p.m., there was plenty of private parking available. Entrance was lovely, and we were immediately greeted and seated. Our table was at a large window with beautiful view of a memorial garden. Nice decor, felt like I was in a deluxe steamship dining room. Darryl was on point with water and ready to take order, we told him we would need a few minutes. The dinner menu looked great, but no mention of Early Bird specials. When Darryl returned, I asked about Early Bird, and he brought us that menu. While we were there, I overheard two other patrons request Early Bird prices. This did not set well with me, seemed like standard procedure to not offer upfront; note to management, if you advertise it, present it. Now, for the food. The salads were unimaginative, basically bagged lettuce with some cheese sprinkled on top. But, it was fresh and there were many dressing choices. The hot loaf of bread was yummy! Entrees were excellent, I had cod and he opted for shrimp and chicken. Disappointed in side dish of au gratin potatoes; looked and tasted like something you would expect at a grade school cafeteria. Overall, the food was mediocre; still giving 4 star review was ambience and impeccable service. I would go again, but try something different from the menu. They obviously do a booming business, when we left the restaurant was completely full, with people waiting outside."

"I don’t normally do this but… I called first and was prompted to save 3 dollars order online. So I did. The ordering system took 10 minutes to update my pickup time. The pickup time was set to 38 minutes wait. So I went anyway and as I walked in 3 customers were having difficulty with orders made online. Can’t find name etc.. I was told my food will be up in less than 10 minutes, not 38 like the app said. When I received my food I checked it and like the picture shows it was only chicken and rice and peas. No salad no plantains or even extra rice. Granted this is almost a must with Jamaican restaurants, including this one when they first opened would serve a delicious salad with raisins, not anymore. I asked that I thought I paid for plantains, the lady said no, it is extra. I said to her extra is not the problem I wanted plantains. She went on to explain had I bought the lunch special it would have been there, but since I ordered the regular it wasn’t… makes no sense that the food that costs more comes with less and you have to pay for what the cheaper meal comes with… that’s a horrible plan. All you had to do is get some plantains and have me pay for it. I asked, and told you I wanted plantains but it was more important to “school” me on the lunch special even tho I’m paying more for my meal Fix your website Where is the 3 dollars your voice note spoke of if I ordered online or the app???? Train your staff to recognize customers request.. notice I never asked for anything free. Good service is all I wanted but I see it is not here anymore as that is extra now."
