• Seafood • Hampden

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.

We have been here 4 times or more now. The food and drinks are always very good. The only complaint this time was the amount of time it took to get our food. We went with another couple. We ordered our dinners 10 to 15 minutes before them. Their food came out first, they finished their meals and we still hadn't gotten ours yet. I said something to the server and then the food came out shortly. Not sure what the problem was. Will still go back as the food and happy hour specials are really good.
