    Pesto Caesar Salad
    Nyla S.

    Fast service... & the food was flavorful and delicious. Definitely filled me up for hours.

    a plate of vegetables and meat

    My new favorite salad place! I ordered via Uber Eats and couldn't be more thrilled with the quality. Their lemon zest chicken is perfectly seasoned, as well as the chimmichurri mushrooms. Sweet potatoes have a lovely texture, and so did the beets. I could ramble on and on about their food and how good it is, but you should just see for yourself. If you're looking for a new salad spot, this is it! Oh yeah, and be sure to get the dragonfruit green tea. It's delightful :D

    Southern w/ sweet potatoes & fresh jalapenos
    dan g.

    Will definitely go again! Tasty food with lots of options and a ton of vegan choices including beans, chick peas and 2 types of tofu. I had the Southern- which I guess was Southern because of the bbq tofu? It was tasty with charred corn, chick peas, kale, and a lemon tahini dressing. I added fresh jalapenos and sweet potato which was key! You can also build your own which my wife did and liked. Staff does seem to expect you to know the drill which isn't really clear to a new visitor. Traffic in College Park can be daunting but the food was served so fast we'll be back. 4 Stars because the rice was occasionally crunchy.

    Workers nice and knowledgeable. Went with the El Jefe *with the works* , definitely will be back to try some of their other bowls .

    Chicken over broccoli and tice

    The salad was excellent. However it was not the salad I had ordered. I wanted Brussels sprouts, brown rice, chili tofu and kale. I received white rice, broccoli, Brussels and chicken. Will work on being a vegan another day

    I fell in love with this place. I've been looking for more healthier food options and I found it here. When I eat the food here I feel wider and fulfilled. I've been here four times in the last four days. Really good.

    Sunday July 2nd visit. Staff very friendly, portion size large enough for two servings, maybe a more tender piece of chicken option?

    El Jefe with the works. Extra side of Cilantro Lime & Chipotle Tabasco sauce.

    Relaxed and friendly oyster bar in the heart of Annapolis with such a welcoming vibe and nautical…read moredecor (old photos of sailors). Waitstaff is very friendly and accommodating. Menu focuses on both Chesapeake and west coast oysters. They also have a variety of salads, seafood and libations. We ordered a dozen oysters (4 different Chesapeake ones, 3 of each). They came with a vinaigrette and a spicy cocktail sauce. Server explained each one to us. They were fresh, clean tasting and delicious! We also got the smoked whitefish dip. It was creamy and smoky, topped with caviar and came with flatbread style sesame crackers. It was light and savory. My companion ordered the tuna sashimi special. It had melt in your mouth toro marinated in yuzu and sesame sauce. It was topped with seaweed and came with a side of kimchi aioli. It was definitely the star dish. Will need to come back to try other seafood dishes and drinks.

    Uhmmmmmm... We…read moreordered some oyster, and they were out of one type, replacing to something else without asking us. Maryland oyster was pretty good but clam was very oceany and sandy. Whitefish Dip was fine but way too much mayo than the fish. Bread & Butter was disappointing. It shouldn't be something they charge. The bread probably was from supermarket and it wasn't chive butter but green onion. OG Caesar was basically wedge salad with heavy pesto oil, overall oily and salty. Lomi Lomi Salmon... Not good. Hamachi probably was the best thing. Happy hour drinks was the best thing.

My brother and I wanted something for lunch after going to a car swap meet. We landed on Rock Salt Grille. I'd eaten there several times before. We arrived at 11:45 AM (Saturday) and there was a 30 minute wait, so we grabbed two comfortable seats at the bar. A good call. I had the Rock Salt Oysters, broiled with bacon and parmigiana. Delightful. I also had the cream of, and Maryland crab, soup combination. My brother had the crab cake sandwich. I'd had it before, but wanted the oysters. His crab cake sandwich was double the size of any I'd ever seen, without exaggeration. He guessed it was 8 ounces or more, without exaggeration, with no visible filler, (Broiled). I had a few beers and we split the Bread pudding with Grand Marnier sauce. It was enough for four. The bar and food service was spectacular with "tag teaming" to make sure we didn't wait for anything. I'd like to thank the bartenders who served us perfectly: Kelsey and Nikkea. Award winners. Rock Salt is not inexpensive, but the quality of the food and the great service justify the premium. I'll be back more often

The food was very good, as we tried the crab soup, steamed mussels, fried oysters & oyster sandwich, tuna poke, and key lime pie. My fave were the mussels. Service was prompt and attentive.

    We stopped in here for happy hour on a Friday. My friends and I ordered quite a few things to share…read moreand most everything was amazing. We order the turkey club, hush puppies, cream of crab soup, the charcuterie board, fries, and fried oysters to share. The turkey club was the star of the show. It had nice layers of avocado, the chicken was cooked well, and the bacon added a nice touch. For drinks we stuck to the margaritas and they were perfect! I would say you can skip the fries, the seasoning was great the batch of fries we had seemed like they might not have been fresh. The rest of the menu was so good I would still say you could skip the fries and order a double serving of hush puppies.

    Although the food and waitstaff were excellent, the overall experience was disappointing…read more We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated at the worst table in the restaurant: the only table with no view, the waitstaff work area directly behind the table, and constant foot traffic behind us as well. We immediately asked the hostess for a different table. She told as that the three booths and the six other two-tops were all reserved. She left us with no attempt at an apology and promptly put reserved signs on all the open tables. When we left an hour later, one booth and 4 two-tops had never been used. Much to our dismay, we saw people seated outside even though we had received a text before arriving saying the patio was closed for the evening. To add insult to injury, even half empty, the noise level was so uncomfortable since everything was tile, marble, or wood that the alarm sensor on my smart watch sounded because of the decibel level. We will not be back.
