    Amazing atmosphere with fantastic sunsets. Food is great. Owners present and really care that customers enjoy themselves! Sunsets over Rock Hall harbor are the best!

    So excited to have this place! They had several veggie options and the rest of the family had excellent seafood dishes.

    Excellent food, lovely wait staff but very slow service. If you have a lot of time and don't mind waiting, this is the place for you!

    The Retriever Oyster House in Chestertown left us with a mixed impression, one that deserves a fair…read moreand constructive take. We had just come from a college football game and, on the fly, decided to grab dinner here based on the recommendation of the one local in our group. There were seven of us, and most went for the double smash burgers with fries, which were excellent. Kim, our server, was outstanding, prompt, accurate, and attentive throughout the evening. The bartender also added to the positive side of the experience, making sure everything at the table ran smoothly. The issue came at the door. We had tried to call ahead to let them know we were on the way, not realizing that OpenTable was their preferred system. When we arrived, the host made this clear, but in a way that was unnecessarily sharp and cold. It set the wrong tone for the night. In a town where friendliness is the norm, the contrast was striking. The experience began under a haze that was difficult to shake, even though the food and drinks were excellent once we sat down. To be constructive, this is less about policy and more about hospitality. A host sets the tone, and a welcoming explanation could have changed everything. Something as simple as, "We usually use OpenTable to handle groups this size, but I'm glad you're here, let's get you taken care of," would have gone a long way. Instead of frustration, it could have created a positive first impression and likely earned a loyal group of returning guests for years to come. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with locals enjoying themselves in a loud and fun environment. Our group of longtime friends who have been convening in Chestertown for two decades fit right in once we were seated. However, the bad first impression lingered, and as a result we only had one round with food before deciding to leave a lot earlier than our normal rhythm for an evening out. We ended up taking our bar bill to another venue. Great food and excellent table service carried the night, but the host made sure we will not be returning as part of our annual tradition. This is a restaurant with strong potential, and it could go from good to exceptional with just a little more attention to how guests are greeted.

    This was a fun place. We came visiting friends while in town for the Tea Party weekend, so they get…read morea little pass for being busy. I'm not sure the menu was all that imaginative, but the food was good and we enjoyed some oysters, onion dip, and I had the chicken sandwich. Our waiter was very attentive. The only thing I may add is to think about better flexibility on seating. It's a very large bar but the sit down area isn't greatly configurable. We'd put in for a group of 6 but it was not possible for them to seat us all at one table.

    Quaint little cafe that is very cute, but it is a pass. The food items are microwaved (or taste…read morelike it) and I'm sure there are better food options elsewhere.

    I hate to do this to you, Muskrat Alley Cafe, but you were a complete letdown!…read more Honestly, we drove all the way to check out this place because I fell in love with their muskrat logo and the menu looked simple and delicious! The menu features bialis, bagels, Belgian waffles, quiche, breakfast wraps, smoothies, and other breakfast/lunch eats. We ordered: +the Cappy, which was a biali with egg, cheese, and sausage - the biali itself was chewy, but not in a good way; the fillings were also not warm +a Frittata, which had swiss cheese, egg, and Canadian bacon; this was super cold in the middle When we notified the staff that the items were cold, they apologized; rather than reheating it in the oven or remaking the items, it was off to the microwave they went (we heard the beep); this resulted in the food being rubbery and dried out. We had already lost our appetite, so the food was pushed off to the side. They did run out of the Mylita's Quiche (containing crab, shrimp, and cheeses), which supposedly is their famous item that gets sold out fast - at first, I was sad that we missed out on this, but after having our meal, not so much. There were some random kitschy gifts that you can purchase, mostly seasonal items, before they closed for the winter. I'm glad I was able to give this place a try, but wouldn't return. +cold/improperly 'heated' food +friendly staff +little 'store' with various seasonal items +closes for the winter +limited spots in private gravel lot
