Kitchen On West St.

The handmade cocktails and the entrees were phenomenal. I loved the crab cakes and the brussel sprouts! The bartender was an excellent hostess, waitress, etc. Her name was Shannon and she was possibly one of the top five best restaurant servers that I have had. The hotel floor manager Patrick was also very helpful when we told them we wanted to hit the best restaurants and historical spots while in town. Great service and great food! You won’t even disappointed!

I started my tour du Annapolis at this little bar attached to a hotel. I was the first one in and ready for a happy hour drink! I ordered the smoked maple old fashioned per someone else’s review recommendation. I thought it was awesome! The smokiness is more on the nose not so much on the palate which works with my taste very well. Really loved how the sweetness of the maple balanced the bourbon. Really enjoyed how knowledgeable the bartender was as well, she gave me a long and very amazing list of places to hit in Annapolis, I’m very grateful to her for that because my evening was filled with amazing food and drinks because of her!

First off, nobody knew about my reservation or about Open Table. That was alarming in itself. How does nobody at the restaurant know that they have a reservation system? Luckily there was space available at the bar area for my brunch meal. The table seating areas looked great and I would preferred them as opposed to the bar, but about 50% of the tables were messy and hadn’t been cleaned up yet. I ordered my omelette and requested that it be made with egg whites and the spinach left out (I’m allergic to the latter). It took about 20-30 minutes to get my food, and that was only after the chef literally came out of the kitchen to let the waitress know that my food was ready. Not to my surprise, the omelette did not have any of my requests and wasn’t made to order. Waitress ended up refunding the meal which I was appreciative of. I didn’t have time to wait for another omelette. The entire time, a manager of some sort was sitting at the end of the bar talking to employees, asking them questions, and telling them how this place was going to change. Hopefully that ends up being true. Otherwise, avoid this place at all costs in the meantime. Unfortunately I can’t speak on behalf of the cocktails or drinks as I had no desire to go back.
