From the outside it looked like one of the best restaurants in town, so we had to go inside and check it out.

 208 Talbot in St Michaels, Maryland, is an elegant little restaurant perfect for any occasion: a romantic dinner with your loved one, family gatherings or even a happy hour with friends.

Prices seemed fair for the ambience and food/service you get – it was certainly not too expensive, especially considering that food was simply exquisite, and service impecable. So much so that even after a couple of years this restaurant still lies in the back of my mind whenever I think about St Michaels or Chesapeake Bay

Annapolis is a very walkable city, and if you can’t get any parking downtown (generally crowded on weekends and with a limit of 2 hs in the parkimeters), park close to one of the Navy Blue bus stops and get a free ride to key places in town. The US Naval Academy Campus is huge, so prepare to walk, but it’s definitely worth the visit. You can easily do the tour by yourself, but try to watch the free 18min video at the visitor center to get some background.

Whether going for a day trip or spending many days, the Woodwind Schooner should not be missed. The sunset cruise along the bay is stunning and peaceful, and you can even order a glass of wine on board to make the trip even more special. The captain & crew are very nice and will do everything to make your ride more enjoyable.

Waterfront Restaurant: Carrol’s Creek Cafe. Worth for the food and environment. Best Crab cream soup I’ve had (and after I found out it has actually won awards!). Shrimp wrapped in bacon with BBQ sauce and their sea scallops appetizer are amazing as well.

Waterfront Restaurant: Pusser’s Caribbean Grill: Restaurant is part of the Annapolis Marriott Hotel, great environment and beautiful view to the Bay.

Ice Cream: Annapolis Ice Cream company. Best in town, a favorite from tourists & locals. Scoops are huge!

Tavern in Downtown area: Middleton Tavern: Well located this building is over 250 years old. Specialty are oysters, and their mini crab cakes are delicious. Appetizers and entrees are typically small and not good for sharing.
