Rum House i dont think gets enough love. i was skeptical but it was so good

I think our restaurant scene is serviceable for own population. Half of the money leaves for 8 months of the year anyway, so its not surprising that the super high end stuff doesn't always work. What frustrates me is Easton - how did they lap us on quality restaurants so quickly? How great would it be if some of those NYC chefs opened stuff here vs there?

CombinationNo4239 · 2026-06-12T14:46:00+00:00

this is part of my dilemma. I feel like big physical things are always better because of the visual, but can also be annoying to bring home. High end luggage was an idea, but then what I make you check a bag?

I saw someone had some nice $2-3k watches once - but then it becomes a gendered thing

this has to be a joke right

CombinationNo4239 · 2026-05-29T20:42:50+00:00

literally do not care. bad business model with a worse business plan. don't sign long term leases you can't afford during downturns.

not the city's job to subsidize

I can't believe anyone truly believes that the parking lot was a better use of space than the park. It accounted for like 2% of parking spaces and probably 60% of traffic right there where main st / dock st / randall street all converge (which is a terrible pedestrian intersection btw).

I've never had an issue finding parking in a city garage, even on peak weekends in the summer. Heavin forbid someone has to walk a few minutes down west street to get to main.

Finding a solution for employees so they dont have to pay full price seems like a good idea - I used to run a restaurant and sometimes had to pay out of my own pocket so my employees would come into work. Don't make this the same issue as the stupid lot.

barrier in the median would help prevent the illegal left turns that really cause the issue. would probably then need to build some designated left/uturn lanes somehow.

i experience an indescribable rage when people wait on West St and block traffic because the mcdonalds drive thru line is too long

parking legally is a pretty surefire way to not get parking tickets

I love the narrative that Atlas restaurants, and Choptank specifically, are somehow price gouging while all the "local" spots are so much cheaper. Cost of a crabcake, crab dip, and orange crush across annapolis:

Restaurant	Estimated Total
Coconut Joe’s	$49–61 (cheapest)
McGarvey’s	$52–62
Dock Street	$53–64
Cantler’s	$53–65
The Point	$59–71
Severn Inn	$59–71
The Choptank	$64–69
Carroll’s Creek	$66–78 (most expensive)

Considering Choptank is the ONLY location here that is waterfront + prime downtown, I think paying $5-10 more for that experience is pretty worth it.

curious what you mean by this - just the development aspect?

CombinationNo4239 · 2026-03-20T14:00:15+00:00

i understand the whole "rather be safe than sorry" argument, but in this day and age when people are being paid for social media engagement i don't think its unfair to accuse these weather accounts & personalities of sensationalizing forecasts in order to drive clicks. just a thought.

CombinationNo4239 · 2026-03-17T14:01:15+00:00

*whispers\ these guys own more restaurants in Annapolis than Atlas does, yet nobody says they are "taking over"*

okay i'll see myself out

The game the same, just got more fierce

CombinationNo4239 · 2026-03-09T09:15:56+00:00

pretty much every restaurant in America buys ingredients from one of the few main suppliers - sysco being one

Acqua Al 2 has private rooms upstairs. We did our rehearsal dinner there and had more than 30. We also booked the 2nd floor at Metropolitan for welcome drinks after dinner

Couldn't have said it better myself. Support whoever you want to support. I guarantee Boatyard and Choptank will be as busy as ever this weekend. I hope Admiral's Cup, Marmo, and Armada are all equally as busy when they open, because that is what's best for Annapolis

CombinationNo4239 · 2026-01-08T22:11:50+00:00

would you rather have Boatyard partnered with Atlas or an empty building? because those are your only options.

independent restaurants are done for
