I took my Honey to Choptank for his well deserved birthday dinner. We started the evening with a glass of delicious Pinot Grigio & Cabernet while briefly waiting for our table. We were escorted to our outdoor table on the second floor by the sweet hostess! When we arrived to our table, we both were impressed with the view of the water & the sexy atmosphere. We began our dinner with cucumber gin gimlets & we ordered oysters and calamari. Both were fresh and the calamari was flash fried to perfection. Next, the birthday boy ordered blackened rockfish and crispy brussels sprouts. He rated them 10 out of 10. I thoroughly enjoyed my flavorful cioppino. I did add red crushed peppers since I like spicy foods. The toasted baguette bread was well seasoned and a delicious treat to use in order to sop up the flavorful broth! Lastly, the birthday boy was treated by our server to a strawberry shortcake for his birthday. Since we are cheesecake connoisseurs, we could tell that it was homemade! We enjoyed our experience so much that we are returning soon for a "Just Because" date.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all incredible! My wife and I came here on a weekend trip to celebrate her birthday. We wanted to eat at a place that offered great food and service but wasn't so fancy that we would feel uncomfortable in shorts and casual clothes. The Choptank was beyond what we could have expected or hoped for! We both walked away saying it was one of the best birthday meals we've ever had! Brandon, our server, was incredibly attentive, professional, and nice. He made the birthday dinner all the more special. Also, we made reservations on OpenTable and put down that we were there for her birthday. They acknowledged this upon check in and at the end of the meal, we receive a complimentary cast iron pan cookie with ice cream that was out of this world!

Food was okay. Our server however, NADIA WAS AMAZING! I see there's a few reviews talking about her and her amazing service! REQUEST HER. She is such a bright light, so knowledgeable, positive and kind. Would give 1 star if it weren't for her! I really hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

Chop tank was so delicious!! I had the crab cake entree with a side salad and creamed corn and it was beyond amazing. So mouthwatering! I went to the one in Anapolis which was right on the water. It was very busy but the waiting staff was very professional and accomodating. I would recommend to everyone.

Spectacular experience. True colors may be the best drink I have ever had. Seafood Cioppino was perfect. Jameson at the upstair bar area enchanced every part of our experience. We liked it so much on Friday that we went back on Sunday. Just as good the second time around, do no miss this place Pro tip: Ignore the snarky hostess who talks down to you.

NADIA 5 STARS. Please ask for her when you come here. Nadia alone made our experience from a 3 to 4 star. She was amazing, had a great personality and was honest when It came to food options. My wife and I decided to just get drinks and fries since we couldn't decided on what to order. My drink the fortuna was light and very gingery drink The fries were nice and crispy but I enjoyed all the sauces you can tell It was homemade. The crème brûlée was more fruity than vanilla but It had a yogurt consistency Once again thank you Nadia for such an amazing experience

The staff and the views make this place so great. I went on a very busy Friday lunch and they seated me on the rooftop with "no guarantee of full shade," but the staff made all the umbrellas work so that everyone was comfortable and shaded. The food was pretty good. I had the citrus and goat cheese platter and a half dozen oysters. All good options. For a day trip to Annapolis, definitely add this to your itinerary.

Visited for a chill birthday dinner and here's my review: The service was excellent-considering how busy they were. We were running behind due to traffic and they kindly pushed back our reservation time (with no issue) because we were celebrating. Our waitress was a joy; she was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very excited to celebrate my birthday. The food came out in a reasonable time but there were some items that required a longer wait. The restaurant itself is in a prime location, it's right on the water so the views are beautiful. It has plenty of SHADED outdoor seating and a very nice rooftop. We sat inside where the music was a vibe but it was a bit loud and hard to hear my partner at times. Tuna Tartare 9/10 - So delicious just a little tricky to eat. I recommend flipping it on its side and eating from the bottom layer to the top layer. Shrimp Ceviche 8/10 (according to my partner) - Fresh, good portion, good flavor; the mango was a nice touch. One or two more taro chips would have been nice. Chilean Sea Bass 9/10 - Excellent flavor and portion. I can't remember what sauce it was served with but it was delicious; it complemented the natural buttery/fatty taste of sea bass (iykyk). Side Salad 0/10 - I was genuinely shocked because it was a simple salad. What made it bad was the fact that it was drowned in olive oil and it was clear the vegetable toppings were cut for aesthetic and not meant to be eaten. Sweet Corn Pudding 7.5/10 - It was really good but very confusing. It's made with jalapeños (completely unexpected) but it contrasts with the sweetness in a pleasant way. Texture-wise it has a slight grit which isn't bad, just feels like a mix between a porridge and pudding. I honestly liked it but I couldn't see how it paired with anything on the menu. I do recommend trying it though! Double Crab Cake Platter 8/10 (according to my partner) - Good size, not a lot of filler, but the chili remoulade was not it. Fries were also pretty good. Birthday Dessert - I was absolutely living for the sea salt ice cream!!!!! This needs to be engraved in the menu so people know to try it. The skillet cookie was also pretty good - the dark chocolate chips were a surprise, luckily I like dark chocolate.

I'm chuckling writing this review. My significant other always introduces new places to me. I lied and said I never had been to Choptank, only to be reminded once we arrived that I've been a couple of times. Yelp reminded me too with the check in feature. For date night on Saturday, we ventured to Annapolis. We scored a parking right in front. Lucky! We didn't even have to valet. (They do offer valet on the main entrance side.) We were late for our reservation but the host had no issue and even sat us outside like we requested. My view is always beautiful sitting across my Beau but Saturday was extra special with the view of the yachts and water. For starters we had to have oysters, Oysters Rockefeller to be exact. I always know when my Beau likes them because he doesn't hesitate to eat mine if I leave them alone too long on the plate. Safe to say these were a hit! I wasn't particularly hungry so my lobster roll got a new home. My Beau loved it. To be honest it was one of the BEST lobster rolls in the DMV area that I've had. The lobster was so soft! My Beau got the 8oz Black Angus Flatiron. He paired it with Brussel sprouts. He liked it but packed it since he had to eat my meal. I'm a BIG on desserts. My Beau said he'd share with me so we picked his choice, cheesecake. It was delicious! I didn't eat my food but I sure did eat the cheesecake. (Shrugs) After dinner we stopped by the bar to continue the fun. The bartender was nice. Drinks were made with generous pours. Thanks bartender! Attire, for the summer months you can definitely dress down, for winter months you can dress to impress. I love dressing up but was glad my Beau told me not to dress fancy. lol I would have been out of place this particular evening. Sun dresses, body parts showing, it is definitely giving beach vibes! My past experiences were equally great. Love love love water front restaurants so we will definitely be back.
