True Chesapeake is a Baltimore restaurant born of an oyster farm. Executive Chef Zack Mills creates a seasonal menu that showcases oysters from our farm in St. Jerome’s Creek, Southern Maryland — raw, roasted, and in signature dishes like Classic Rockefeller and French Onion Oysters. But, the oysters are just the beginning. Our award winning menu celebrates the bounty of the Chesapeake region by using locally sourced seafood, meat, and produce to create exquisite dishes that evolve with the seasons. Chef Mills has been featured extensively for his use of invasive seafood species, a very delicious way to help the Chesapeake Bay. Don't forget to order the Blue Crab and Bone Marrow dip or handmade pasta. We have an expertly curated wine list, beer selection, and cocktails - both classic and creative. Ample bar, high-top, and terrace seating available for walk-ins on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Rich at the Guinness Brewery was fantastic. He took the time to figure out what each of us would enjoy, which wasn’t easy, and made the whole experience super fun. His laid-back, friendly vibe set the tone for a fun and relaxed day. Huge thanks to Rich for making our time at the Guinness brewery so enjoyable!

Always great drinks, a great meal and amazing service. The only complaint is that the lights over the pizza station were super bright and shining right towards our table. Might want to rethink the direction of them. Otherwise, as usual, a great experience.

My husband & I wanted to try somewhere new for date night & The Beaumont was on our list. We started with deviled eggs & the grilled octopus. Both were good, but the grilled octopus was not as pictured from their website so we were slightly disappointed. We ordered the duck confit & scallops for our entrees - both were delicious! Chocolate pistachio cake was great for dessert. We liked the intimate setting & service was excellent. We plan to return!
