The Boatyard is where local sailors, fishermen and lovers of the Chesapeake enjoy pint drinks, great crab cakes and the freshest local seafood. Specialties include smoked fish of the day (on premise), cream of crab and Maryland crab soups and an extensive list of crab and seafood specialties. The First Lady came from the White House to enjoy our crab cakes. The Boatyard has the most extensive raw bar in the area including a variety of oysters, clams, shrimp and mussels. The Boatyard receives awards for being most family friendly and having the best burger on the Bay. Its weekend brunch is the best in the area. The Boatyard is located in the historic maritime district of Eastport-a short walk or water taxi from Annapolis City Docks. Its photo boat films the local sailing races and shows them nightly. Named by Coastal Living, Sailing World and Sail Magazine as one of world's top sailing/boating restaurants.

Very nice place with interesting menu. Had a slight problem with the food but it was quickly rectified. Most staff lovely but one girl most unwelcoming. ...needs to smile more and act as if she really wants to be there. Made me feel very unwelcome.

We went to see Craig Charles' gig here and it was brilliant! Excellent music with lots of friendly people.

Awesome place on the coast. Beautiful view all over the shore, delicious food (special Sunday menu), friendly service and live music make this restaurant five star.Make sure to book your table upfront so you can pick best spot ;)

Love this restaurant. Great food, reasonable prices especially mid week. Very friendly staff. Have been here a few times on work do's too

Service was prompt and food was nice but due to the large area it was very cold by the windows. There was a sad lack of seafood which was disappointing for what we thought was a coastal seafood focused resturant. I had the wing of skate which was absolutely outstanding. The rest of the food was of a good standard. However, as always the price of desserts and starters were disproportionate to the cost of the mains and desserts especially minute. Good use of round tables so good for large groups and there was live music but at conversational level but overall used to be better

This is a place that thinks it's better than it is. The food is less an average. There are a mixture of very professional staff, to others who just are there in body but don't show that they really have an interest in the job that they do. Not a place I would recommend or return to, unless I knew the standards where going to meet the expectation of a good food restaurant that I hoped it was going to be.

Return visit to a very popular restaurant on the Thames Estuary in the old part of Leigh on Sea.As usual the food was excellent with both an al la carte and set menu. Portion size was more than acceptable with two of my party of 4 unable to eat all of their main course Service was good, fast and very polite and the food brought to the table in good time.Parking is not great but the restaurant has a small private car park no more than 30 yards from the entrancePrices are reasonable considering location and food qualityI will be going back before too long!!

We have been here several times and always regarded it as a treat. This time it was a real disappointment. We were greeted by a surly and unsmiling receptionist. We ordered a salmon dish. The potatoes were cold and the salmon was not properly cooked. We sent it back and we were told we would have to wait minutes. In fact we waited 25mins by which time we didn't care whether we ate or not. We were close to walking out. All a great shame.

Been there before and it was great - this time the service was terrible - we waited an hour for our meals and they were only served after we complained that other customers ordered after us but got their meals almost straight away. Food finally arrived cold and another wait for vegetables. Also had a Singer/pianist - back ground music is lovely but this was so loud we Cudnt speak to relatives we've not seen for months. I am normally a very generous tipper but the Waiter not impressed with tip on Sunday - lucky they even got a tip.Such a let down

Its OK. Food was nice but I have had better elsewhere. Pity really because people have have said a lot of good things about The Boatyard so I was expecting it be a bit above the rest. Nevermind.

The quality of the food was excellent and we both enjoyed our meals (Starter and main). Service was fine, and very pleasant. Our cocktails were plentiful and well made. The overall cost £74 for two (including Service) is perhaps on the high end of the spectrum, but well enjoyed the experience, and would go again.
