Ports Of Call — Restaurant in Annapolis

I give this restaurant 5 stars for the atmosphere but everything else I give a 1 .I walked in and was told there were only 2 of them working. I should have walked out then . Wasn't feeling well and wanted to stay in . I ordered the chicken pesto.The male waiter brought my food back and sat down almost across from me I was wondering why, and then He just left without explanation. That was weird. I reached over to get my food .tasted it a couple times it was horrible the texture was like shredded cardboard. It was terrible. I barely touched it. I explained to the waiter he asked me what did I want him to do ? I asked for the manager, and he said he was the manager I asked him how could he fix it, cani order something else? I I was an unsatisfied customer, and how was he going to handle this . He honestly didn't know and went to get the guy at the bar smh I explained to him, and he said ok you may leave . Lol, like I needed their permission. Please don't waste your time in this place. there are plenty of good restaurants in the area .I ended up going to Miller's Ale House . Wow good prime rib for your money and...

I had a room in the Hilton for my usual, early birthday celebration. So I decided to have dinner at the Ports of Call restaurant in the hotel. Glad I did. The reviews were spot on. Carlos was my enthusiastic, heart-warming, inviting, and charming waiter and he was also running the bar with such professionalism as well. My dinner(apologies, no pictures of my food)consisted of the well renowned cream of crab soup. Truly creamy and generous amounts of crab. Then I had the Cesar salad. The portions in this salad were plenty. The atmosphere was so relaxing and welcoming. Carlos was so attentive to everyone in the restaurant. He added more positive energy to my early, private birthday dinner celebrations. No doubt about me heading back there...

Such a great hidden gem. The head chef has won several awards displayed proudly throughout the restaurant. Carlos, the bartender, was incredible and jumped in when Craig was helping someone else. Carlos immediately brought us waters in beautiful holly berry glasses and made us feel very welcome.

Craig was so fantastic and had timing of service perfected. He suggested the hot crab dip, and I'm so glad he did. It was so delicious with large lumps of crab throughout.

I also had a small bowl of cream of crab that was also incredible with large pieces of crab.

Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection, and my daughter declared she had the best burger she'd ever had last night.

Highly recommend and hope we can visit...
