True Chesapeake is a Baltimore restaurant born of an oyster farm. Executive Chef Zack Mills creates a seasonal menu that showcases oysters from our farm in St. Jerome’s Creek, Southern Maryland — raw, roasted, and in signature dishes like Classic Rockefeller and French Onion Oysters. But, the oysters are just the beginning. Our award winning menu celebrates the bounty of the Chesapeake region by using locally sourced seafood, meat, and produce to create exquisite dishes that evolve with the seasons. Chef Mills has been featured extensively for his use of invasive seafood species, a very delicious way to help the Chesapeake Bay. Don't forget to order the Blue Crab and Bone Marrow dip or handmade pasta. We have an expertly curated wine list, beer selection, and cocktails - both classic and creative. Ample bar, high-top, and terrace seating available for walk-ins on a first-come-first-serve basis.

First time and definitely not the last! Food was amazing... gotta try the french onion oysters! Impressive wine list. Everybody was inviting and cheery during our visit. The owner came over to introduce himself and share some stories of the restaurant and answered any questions we had. That was a great touch! Would highly recommend for a date night and/or even some cocktails and apps at the bar for a chill night.

Gertrude’s is one of our favorite restaurants. This visit was to dine with out of town guests. They were impressed by the service, food, and the ambiance of the restaurant. They even commented that while a full dining room, we could easily converse. Thanks to the Gertrude’s team for a wonderful evening!

This was our first visit to Cece’s. Our waiter was friendly, professional and very helpful. The beet salad was delicious and all four of us were able to taste and enjoy it. The meatballs were also delicious. My husband and grandson split the rotolo (sp) and still brought some home to enjoy the next night. My butternut squash cavatelli melted in my mouth. She’s the Singer. We will definitely return.

Excellent experience at Bygone. The server noticed one of our party was alcohol free and brought sparkling cider (un asked) so we could all toast with a bubbly drink. Everything was delicious. The service was efficient and unobtrusive. Incredible Baltimore views.
