Carrols Creek is a fantastic suggestion.

If you are OK with not being in downtown/historic area, you could also look at Severn Inn, Yellowfin, or The Point - they are all waterfront with good food. (The Point is my go-to restaurant for waterfront dining, but it's a solid 20 minutes east of downtown Annapolis)

If you want blue crabs and the whole maryland-crab experience, Cantlers or Mikes are good options too. Both very casual, butcher-paper-on-picnic-tables type place.

I actually really like Boatyard, but I don't think it's what you want. It's casual and not waterfront. Great for a meal with family when in the area, but not the place for your one Annapolis meal.


Davis’s Pub right down the street is a lot better if you want the vibe of Boatyard with edible food.


You think? I've only been to Davis's Pub once, and it gave off a really dive-bar vibe, and the food was fine, but nothing remarkable. Maybe I'll give it a second chance.

Choptank is a joke. $1 every time they turn pepper grinder on your already way overpriced salad.


Do they have a Pepper Boy?

And even if it rains lightly, most of the tables had umbrellas so you can still eat outdoors in a light rain. The view in't the greatest, but you are only 1 block from the water, so you can go and walk down to the docks before or after your meal.

Plus it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.


At Iron Rooster, you read the menu and get excited about the food and then once you eat it, meh.

OP here; thank you for all the suggestions. We tried Carroll Creek Café and loved it. Excellent food, great view of the marina, very polite personnel and priced not too high. Will try also the other suggestions when we will be back again in town

Absolutely awful. And doesn’t have views.

With a view I would do Carrols Creek.

A great option supporting a great cause would be Lighthouse Bistro on West St.

Only a hand full of places have views

Ideally good food, not super expensive, with outdoor seating and a nice view.
