Sam's On The Waterfront - Annapolis

We had a reservation and arrived slightly early. The receptionist seemed a bit hurried and flustered, but the wait staff seems like they didn't have anywhere be. It made for a weird dynamic of hurry and and wait... The food was well prepared, but lacked seasoning. I ordered the scallops risotto. The scallops were nicely seared, but I would've preferred they'd been cooked a little longer. The pasta/chicken dish was good but again, lacked salt. The wedge salad was near perfect.

Would be a 5 but..... our waitress was great but according to her overwhelmed cause it was busy with 50% occupancy. The food was all amazing. The food service was slow getting to our table which is where the problem starts. We just got dessert and the check at the same time when the manager comes over with no apologies and says we have a 2 hour limit on meals and asked us to go. First off we just got dessert and if you wanted to rush something try the kitchen. I showed him that my credit card was with the bill and even attempted to hand it to him to speed up process but he just walked away and the waitress took 15 minutes to get it after he left. Second , if I'm spending over 400 on a meal and it hasn't quite been two hours, figure out the problem not rush a paying customer. 3rd, problem was the manager not even asking us if we enjoyed the meal rather than saying your times up. It was basically a rude manager and even from a distance kept staring at us and talking about us to other employees. I'm in retail as well and even at closing time when I'm ready to go home I will never rush a customer even if it means staying a hour late and not making a sale. A happy customer will tell 3 people about your place but a unhappy one tells 30. Food for thought................

Fantastic place to lunch or dinner! started with a cup of crumb soup, entree was with crab meat, rice and broccolini, and finished with wrench limette cake! next week back to the birthday party of the mother

Great food. Live music on Friday and Saturday evening. outside and inside. great view of the marina. reasonable price. service was fantastic. we're coming back.

The view is simply breathtaking, like the outside in the summer. Live music and a great atmosphere. pets are welcome in the sitting area. the new menu is delicious and expensive. I would invest a little on the interior as its a bit in the 80s, but I will not hold it against them.
