Best Authentic Restaurants in Locust Point

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ampersea, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, Joey, the manager/greeter, greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm that we felt right at home. His kindness set the tone for the entire evening. The service throughout the meal was impeccable—our waiters were attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always topped off and checking in just the right amount. A special shout-out goes to Oscar, the bartender, who was absolutely phenomenal. He crafted some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while, with perfect balance and creativity. Overall, Ampersea delivered on both food and service, and the personal touches from Joey and the rest of the team made it a memorable night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, fantastic drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere!

We had a party of 6 to celebrate 2 birthdays. The server (Clyde?) was very knowledgeable and made great suggestions. Every dish was delicious and interesting. The hummus and the burrata appetizers were excellent. The lamb shank and lobster main dishes were absolutely fantastic. The table was very intimate and beautiful. We enjoyed every aspect of our evening.

This was our first time dining and we would definitely go back. The pasta dishes were delicious-freshly prepared and served piping hot. The salads were also fresh, bright and the dressings were a compliment, not overwhelming the flavors. Service was friendly and attentive. We had a high top in the bar area which was a fun vibe for a Saturday night. Nice dinner, no issues. Give it a try!

All of the service including the bussers and folks that film the water glass were very good. Tony our waiter was a 10. We had a great time.

Every part of the experience was awesome. I needed to push my reservation and Raquel was excellent. The waitress Crystal made the experience a night to remember.
