The restaurant is dated and feels kind of run down. It’s pretty large but the very crowded and loud bar up front made all the noise. Drink list was good with multiple wines by the glass. Tried the local oysters and was not a fan. Super briny. Got the filet Oscar and I’m not sure how they found 1/4 inch thick filets but they did. You get two so maybe they split one? Oscar sauce was pretty good. Our server was nice and did a good job with all the orders.

She found us another table which was much quieter and nicer (white tablecloths on the tables). My husbands oysters on the half shell were large and tasty according to him. My shrimp cocktail was plentiful but the shrimp were watery and the cocktail sauce thin. My husband enjoyed the Cubano sandwich he ordered and the cream of crab soup I ordered was tasty with a sufficient amount of crab. After taking our order, we didn’t see our server until it was time to get the bill.

Haven’t been downtown Annapolis in probably 30 years for varied reasons including parking but we selected downtown due to the weather and atmosphere. Upon arriving before our reservation we were pleasantly welcomed and quickly sat by the front window, maybe not ideal, being between the bar and the street but everything was lively. Mrs Erin, stopped to fill our waters that had just previously been done before by a passing gentleman, we inquired if she was our waitress, she stated she didn’t know but took the initiative and was a phenomenal accent to our experience. Her personality and attention to detail, positive affirmations and/or suggestions about the menu were absolutely spot on. We loved her personality, she was caring and relatable that we could not have asked for someone greater than her. The oysters & crab dip as appetizers were quite a welcome to O’Brien’s culinary offerings, followed by the spicy Cajun seafood jambalaya and Branzino were complimentary choices. Overall a grand experience on a celebratory evening, definitely returning. Still talking about the Branzino and Oysters not that anything was subpar but those were impressive.

Not my recommendation when in Annapolis. The restaurant is dated and feels kind of run down. It’s pretty large but the very crowded and loud bar up front made all the noise. Drink list was good with multiple wines by the glass. Tried the local oysters and was not a fan. Super briny. Got the filet Oscar and I’m not sure how they found 1/4 inch thick filets but they did. You get two so maybe they split one? Oscar sauce was pretty good. Our server was nice and did a good job with all the orders. Table favorite was probably the crab dip with crackers and bread.

Cream of crab soup was amazing as many have said. The Maryland crab was not, nor really anything else…crab cake was fine but nothing to write home about. Steak, fish and chips and rockfish were all bland and not good. Wanted to like this place but won’t be back.

Situated in the heart of histroic downtown Annapolis, this venue is the perfect place to soak in the charm, the history, and most of all, a place to dine inside or in the garden. Excellent menu, great service, choice of beverages, a bar, and, of course, delicious seafood, notably the crab cakes. Perfect choice for large groups or an intimate date. Our waitress was charming, caring, and attentive.

Celebrating a birthday from out of town. We had changed plans last minute to choose O’Brien’s due to reviews and rankings in recent publications. lol, unbeknownst to us this is the home of the “Santa Speedo Run”. Haven’t been downtown Annapolis in probably 30 years for varied reasons including parking but we selected downtown due to the weather and atmosphere. Upon arriving before our reservation we were pleasantly welcomed and quickly sat by the front window, maybe not ideal, being between the bar and the street but everything was lively. Mrs Erin, stopped to fill our waters that had just previously been done before by a passing gentleman, we inquired if she was our waitress, she stated she didn’t know but took the initiative and was a phenomenal accent to our experience. Her personality and attention to detail, positive affirmations and/or suggestions about the menu were absolutely spot on. We loved her personality, she was caring and relatable that we could not have asked for someone greater than her. The oysters & crab dip as appetizers were quite a welcome to O’Brien’s culinary offerings, followed by the spicy Cajun seafood jambalaya and Branzino were complimentary choices. Overall a grand experience on a celebratory evening, definitely returning. Still talking about the Branzino and Oysters not that anything was subpar but those were impressive. Thank O’Brien’s & Erin for a job well done.
