The carb risotto was amazing. That's a meal all by itself. Service was great and didn't have to wait for anything. Definitely a worthy stop

We were in DC for a few days... decided to take a drive to see Chesapeake Bay. Found this restaurant thru Google. Such a wonderful location on the marina! Parking garage around the corner so that made it even easier! I ordered the Fish & Chips (my typical standby). It was served hot...yay! The fish was acid and was very good. The fries were also good! The coleslaw was so good.... Wish there was a bigger portion! Others in my party ordered the Crab Cake Platter....oh I wish I would have ordered this! All of the crab cakes I have had always have fillers like breading and bell peppers.... There was no filler with this crab cake.... Just crab!! We sat outside and it got chilly quickly...I normally like being on the. Oiler side but even I was chilled! I would recommend this place. Only issue-Service was a bit spotty.

I stopped in at O'Brien's for lunch the other day with my fiancee. The restaurant must have been designed by a Dr Who fan, because it looks kind of small and unassuming from outside, but definitely stretches back a long way, with a very beautiful bar area. Our waitress was great, and recommended the half and half soup. It's this gross sounding mix of maryland crab soup and cream of crab. Manhatten meets New England. I don't know how or why, but they blend together and work -- it's delicious. I think it worked better if you don't mix it, let it sit like oil and vinegar and get hints of the other in each bit of the one. I also got a cubano sandwich. It was great, with good portions. Perhaps a little light on the pickle, but still good. Ironically, the weakest part of my meal at O'Brien's Oyster Bar was... the oysters! I got a sampler, with three different types, skipjack, choptank, and "prime." I have no idea what the prime is. However, none of them had any flavour. No brine, no sweet, nothing. And, a couple (out of six) weren't properly shucked. Maybe late August lunch gets low quality ones, but I left feeling disappointed in my oysters, and from a place that describes itself as an oyster bar, that's pretty sad. (Also, to be honest... I expect an oyster bar to have more than two local local sellers from the same region and a mystery 'prime.') I would go back for soup and a sandwich... but maybe not the oysters again.

Sat outside for happy hour around 3PM. Nice happy hour, fresh orange crushes for $8, assorted apps and oysters for sub $12. Had a crab cake sandwich as the main. Everything was good, although I wish the calamari had the sauce on the side instead of on top. Service was great. A bit on the pricey side if you're not looking at happy hour.

The Annapolis Crab Cakes dish was delish. Enjoyed Tina Poke, Crab Dip, Prime Oyster, shrimp plate and two lager beers. Good service.

Why I have never reviewed this location before, after my many visits - I have no idea. This trip to O'Brien's was like no other. Good drinks, good oysters, and great employees. Hence why I've returned multiple times. After work days, football "there's a game on tonight" days, just because days, GO!
