The Best Oyster Restaurant in Town
True Chesapeake is a fantastic restaurant, perfect for both a delicious meal and intimate events. The space has a wonderful ambiance, with exposed brick and stunning photography by acclaimed Chesapeake Bay photographer Jay Fleming. Chef Zack Mills's culinary skills truly shine, bringing the flavors of the Chesapeake to life in his dishes. The clam pasta is one of my favorites and the Skinny Dipper oysters are must-tries! Pat and Paul's exceptional hospitality makes every dining experience truly special.
I have attended many events sat True Chesapeake.
As a supplier of oysters and an attendee at many events, I have found True Chesapeake to be a great place to have a party, a wedding reception, or to celebrate a special occasion. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive to the needs of all their guests!
Excellent food, service and atmosphere
From the moment we first reached out to True Chesapeake, their communication was quick and friendly, and they proved to be easy to work with. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a historic and cool vibe that perfectly set the tone for our special day. We had a completely worry-free experience, as the team's attention to detail ensured everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't be happier with how our event turned out thanks to the incredible team at True Chesapeake.
Amazing Rehearsal Dinner
True Chesapeake was a fantastic choice for our rehearsal dinner. The space is beautiful and unique in the Baltimore area, with a classy, elegant feel. The food was amazing, and the cocktails and wine selection were also fantastic. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. the owner was there and went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend True Chesapeake. The brisket and mashed potatoes were delicious! The salads were super fresh and seasonal. Great espresso martinis!
