Edgewater Restaurants

Truly fine dining Uncompromising quality of food cocktails and service

Celebrating a birthday from out of town. We had changed plans last minute to choose O’Brien’s due to reviews and rankings in recent publications. lol, unbeknownst to us this is the home of the “Santa Speedo Run”. Haven’t been downtown Annapolis in probably 30 years for varied reasons including parking but we selected downtown due to the weather and atmosphere. Upon arriving before our reservation we were pleasantly welcomed and quickly sat by the front window, maybe not ideal, being between the bar and the street but everything was lively. Mrs Erin, stopped to fill our waters that had just previously been done before by a passing gentleman, we inquired if she was our waitress, she stated she didn’t know but took the initiative and was a phenomenal accent to our experience. Her personality and attention to detail, positive affirmations and/or suggestions about the menu were absolutely spot on. We loved her personality, she was caring and relatable that we could not have asked for someone greater than her. The oysters & crab dip as appetizers were quite a welcome to O’Brien’s culinary offerings, followed by the spicy Cajun seafood jambalaya and Branzino were complimentary choices. Overall a grand experience on a celebratory evening, definitely returning. Still talking about the Branzino and Oysters not that anything was subpar but those were impressive. Thank O’Brien’s & Erin for a job well done.

Dinner was fantastic. The pasta is all house made and the specials were great. They have several sampler types shareable salads, entrees, and desserts so you can get a little bit of everything. With the salad sampler we got a side of grilled shrimp that were maybe the best I've ever had. Charcoal grilled then tossed in a little salt and olive oil. Absolutely perfect.

Wonderful experience. Attentive staff, beautiful environment and a delicious meal. Perfect evening.

Always the best. Freshest food! Amazing chefs. Great wine selection. Tiramisu is the best ever. Our favorite for celebrating an event or just a lovely dinner any time!
