Beautiful old inn dining room right on main street in cute Princess Anne. Selective menu and with food and atmosphere that felt upscale but prices and portions not that fancy. Attentive (not too) service. Oyster appetizer, rockfish main (split) filled us and left us with happy moans at each bite. They happily split the entree and the portion was plenty. read more

This recently restored and opened historic inn and restaurant is so quaint! The best way I can describe our experience with the staff and food is a warm hug. Everyone was super friendly, the food was comforting and delicious and the atmosphere is cozy. On my first visit, I enjoyed special fall cocktails: the fall martini was amazing with the perfect hint of rosemary and sage, the maple margarita was a magical marriage of sweet and tang. The specials for drinks and food are always a hit, so if a special sounds good, GET IT! I really dont think you can go wrong with anything here, its evident the owners and staff take pride in what they serve their customers and make everyone feel welcome and at home. read more

If historic old hotels (c. 1744) in backwater towns are your jam, Sugar Water is singing your siren song. George may not have slept here, but he may have stopped by for Sunday brunch on occasion during his Yorktown Campaign or his presidency. The Washington Hotel bears his name and it has been rehabilitated and maintained in colonial style to feel genuine and welcoming. When I walked in they were doing a bridal shower, so I grabbed a stool in the barroom near the back kitchen. Service was amenable despite working their tooshies off for the bridal party. I didn't mind waiting and having a break from the long drive home from Newport News. There were several ghosts accompanying me at the bar. The food was excellent. Veggie Omelet and Potato Hash were both farm to table fresh, and the coffee was brisk and hot. Worth the wait. The hotel was as much museum as bed & breakfast. Tons of charm without being gitchee. And, right off Route 13 on the Eastern Shore. Easy on and off. Five Historic Stars for Sugar Water and the Washington Hotel. read more

A colleague had suggested I check out Sugar Water when I was in town. It was a bit out of the way for me, but they had chicken pot pie on the menu, so to Princess Anne I went! I visited on a Tuesday evening at 6:00pm. I walked into the foyer of what I was told was an old hotel. There was a lounge-like area on the left side and hardwood floors everywhere. There was no clear signage of where to go as there was no staff to greet me. A team member came out of one of the back doorways and greeted me. They picked up a clipboard menu and led me to the front room. On the clipboard was all of their menus and the cover sheet was upcoming events. The team member who greeted and sat me appeared to be waiting on the whole restaurant. She advised me that the top menu (The BFF menu) was being served tonight. BFF stands for burgers, foot-long hot dogs and fried chicken and it was the ONLY menu being served that night. I had seen this menu on the website but was led to believe that it was similar to a bar menu that accompanied a daily menu. That was not the case. I settled on creating my own burger with a chicken patty, bacon, bbq sauce and satueed onions with fries. Unfortunately it seemed like there was only one cook and my order was in the queue behind the party of five that got their order in before me. When my food was delivered, the team member apologized for the delay. The presentation of the burger and fries was fun with a flower elevating it to a different level. I was pleased that the chicken patty appeared to be hand-patted and guessed the weight to be somewhere between 1/4 and a 1/3 pound. I enjoyed the burger and I think that a chicken parm burger would be a nice addition to the menu based on the quality of the chicken. I was comped dessert due to the wait in receiving my food. I took home a flourless chocolate cake which was tasty and rich. Would I go back? Maybe. Turns out that the chicken pot pie I saw on their website was from their winter menu and they are now serving their spring menu. So I wouldn't have gotten that pot pie anyway. So I might call ahead to ask if the website menu is current. read more

The good was the waitress was very nice. The food was a bit pricey but tasted good after they reheated it. read more

Great place for food. Very very knowledgeable of celiac disease and gluten free- they took it upon themselves to run all the silverware through the dishwasher before our meal just incase there was contamination (never got that anywhere else and definitely was reassuring). Food was pretty good, staff were very friendly. We will definitely be returning! read more

Sugar Water Restaurant, located inside the Washington Hotel, is a charming and quaint restaurant in Princess Anne. We had brunch here this past weekend. The historic inn and restaurant was lovely and the service was friendly and personable. Most importantly the food was fabulous.My husband ordered the Open Faced Egg Sandwich and I went with the Bake of the Day. The Bake was a a delicious roasted vegetable quiche. I've never had anything quite like it and it was a plentiful serving. My side of greens was fresh and also delicious. read more

Fantastic food, farm-to-table, in a lovely and historic setting. Impecable service. Price is commensurate with the quality and the setting.

Loved finding this great little restaurant in Princess Anne, MD. I stumbled across it just before they were closing, and they were incredibly accommodating, allowing me to order a late lunch. Daniel and Dana we're lovely, and as I enjoyed an amazing soft shell crab BLT and a delicious Hummingbird cocktail, they told me the history of how they purchased the Washington Hotel, and added this quaint restaurant. They have only been open eight weeks, but I am confident of the great successes they will have with their new venue. If you are in the area, definitely make it a plan to stop by and enjoy the delicious food and the wonderful people ! read more

Sugar Water - Soft Shell Crab BLT - Salad Near Me - Princess Anne, Maryland

Highly recommend this farm-to-table restaurant for a lovely dining experience. We enjoyed seasonal crafted cocktails and a tasty crab dip appetizer. As someone with celiac who cannot eat gluten, I felt comfortable eating my meal after talking with staff about my dietary needs and being assured appropriate precautions were taken. Most of the menu options were available to me and I enjoyed a wonderful chicken Marsala. Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful throughout the experience. read more

The Italian Cream Cake is simply, TO DIE FOR. It is amazing as was the sloppy joe and the blueberry tart w/ice cream. Thank you for a wonderful evening!!! Robert read more

The menu changes weekly and is always in tune to local produce and seafood. My wife and I had a seafood poke bowl, lobster risotto and a roasted beet and fennel salad. Each dish was well composed with a combination of flavors and textures that made each bite better than the last.. The service was amazing (thank you Tim) and the prices very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food served. The setting of Washington Inn added to the ambiance and enjoyment of the meal.. if this restaurant were in New York City the line would be around the block but the combination of quaint Princess Anne and fine dining made it a night to remember read more

We've had dinner there twice and today had brunch. The food is outstanding, the service was great and the Washington Inn is an historical landmark which the owners are in the process of rehabilitating. The restaurant's three dining rooms and bar area have been very carefully done to preserve the original look and feel. Today we had their "3 Bennies", Eggs Benedict on home made english muffins, one each with crab, ham and spinach. The eggs were perfectly poached and the whole dish was delicious. Another person had their sausage gravy on homemade biscuits and the third had the omelet and all were equally good. Bring your appetite, though, the servings are large. read more

Great service. Was there to celebrate a couple of birthdays and they were very accommodating. Food was very good as well!

Outstanding food, service and ambiance. A welcome excellent restaurant for the region. Farm to table.

I was very disappointed with my breakfast. The dish I ordered latkes and applesauce. I never had crispy (really hard) latkes and they had no applesauce. The proprietor made sliced apples which was a nice try at fulfilling my order. I must say the staff was extremely nice and tried to accommodate me but the food was very disappointing. My friend had quiche and said it was tasteless. This was my second try going to Sugar Water. It was my last. read more

I went with my date for brunch at Sugar Water on Sunday. The restaurant is located in what used to be the Washington Hotel and they have kept many of the old architectural features--something that creates a charming ambiance. The service was outstanding. The brunch menu had a great selection and consisted of many unique dishes--not your typical brunch fare although they did have some more familiar choices as well. I ordered the cured trout gravlax platter and oh my was it flavorful! The portion size was also generous. My date ordered the three egg omelette with a latke, which was also delicious and a generous portion. Even the coffee was great! The prices were very reasonable. This place is a great find, a gem, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. I highly recommend Sugar Water. read more
