Best Historic Restaurants in Maryland

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!

Always a great experience. Predictable food, and another great show.

The Amaroni was the worst I have ever tasted; I don't know why any restaurant would have this particular brand on their wine list.

I have been dining at Cafe Normandie since I was a midshipman (an early female) at the Naval Academy. I now live in Annapolis and this is one of my truly favorites. Do not miss the escargot !

Excellent reception, service and food. Old friends seeing each other after long absence. Restaurant was gracious giving us extended time to visit before and after eating. All four meals were delicious (crab cakes, chic sandwich, rockfish and watermelon salad). Accommodated special requirements of one diner for no alcohol (cooked or otherwise) with grace and generosity. We’d definitely go back when back in Annapolis.
