Delicious salad w baby tomatoes, ricotta, pine nuts, and red leaf lettuce and excellent wild mushroom risotto. Yummy dessert - little fried doughballs, very light and tasty. Attentive and friendly service, with good suggestions when asked. Came for late ish lunch on Sunday and ate in pleasant dining room with stone walls and wooden benches. We usually have dined on the patio, which is also pleasant when it’s not too cold. A favorite place for us.

Had a lovely dinner for a holiday celebration. Despite running behind with reservations and clearly being slammed. Our servers were attentive and calm. Great wine recommendation for our dinner. Gave us a cheese plate as we were seated on the house. Well done!

The service was attentive and well paced. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about all the menu offerings. Everything we ordered was delicious! We started with the burrata, carrots and oysters. All the different flavors were exceptional. We had the bronzini and scallops were cooked to perfection and delicious. I highly recommend Ceces.

I usually order the delicious crab quiche and did so again. It comes with greens and is just the perfect amount of food for me. My beverage was a cider. My husband had pork tenderloin and was very happy with his choice. He chose a hoppy IPA for his beverage. We splurged on calories and split a yummy dessert. The service was excellent even though Gertrude’s was very crowded.

As always, it was a true pleasure to dine at True Chesapeake! Great oysters, perfectly seared scallops, and great wine choices. The staff is so friendly.
