What a fantastic restaurant for a hotel! A true Executive Chef and his multiple awarded crab soup. Obviously a nautical themed restaurant with super friendly staff and delicious food. No complaints!

Chef Jeff creates very fresh salads, tender filet mignon, the best cream of crab soup, and a yummy chocolate creme brulee! We always eat here for dinners when we stay upstairs in the Annapolis DoubleTree hotel. Eating there again tonight, Valentines 2025!

I had a room in the Hilton for my usual, early birthday celebration. So I decided to have dinner at the Ports of Call restaurant in the hotel. Glad I did. The reviews were spot on. Carlos was my enthusiastic, heart-warming, inviting, and charming waiter and he was also running the bar with such professionalism as well. My dinner(apologies, no pictures of my food)consisted of the well renowned cream of crab soup. Truly creamy and generous amounts of crab. Then I had the Cesar salad. The portions in this salad were plenty. The atmosphere was so relaxing and welcoming. Carlos was so attentive to everyone in the restaurant. He added more positive energy to my early, private birthday dinner celebrations. No doubt about me heading back there again. Thank you Carlos!

I couldn't get enough of this cream of crab soup. I ate it every day of our stay. The staff was super nice each time we visited and very knowledgeable about the area. I didnt get a picture but the crab cakes were great as well.

Such a great hidden gem. The head chef has won several awards displayed proudly throughout the restaurant. Carlos, the bartender, was incredible and jumped in when Craig was helping someone else. Carlos immediately brought us waters in beautiful holly berry glasses and made us feel very welcome. Craig was so fantastic and had timing of service perfected. He suggested the hot crab dip, and I'm so glad he did. It was so delicious with large lumps of crab throughout. I also had a small bowl of cream of crab that was also incredible with large pieces of crab. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection, and my daughter declared she had the best burger she'd ever had last night. Highly recommend and hope we can visit again sometime.

When they said award-winning crab soup, they are not kidding. It’s amazing! Our server was incredibly friendly and we had a great experience as always!

Delicious. Tonight I had the rockfish with crab stuffing and asparagus. And a cup of cream of crab soup. I tend to shy away from asparagus in restaurants because it's either over or under cooked. This was perfect. And the rockfish was perfectly seasoned. I cant say enough about the soup. Creamy with large chunks of crab meat. I did get a shell in my mouth but I didnt even care because it was so fresh and tasty.

Me and my sister stayed at the hotel for a week and dined at this restaurant for 3 nights and every night was amazing! Our two waiters Brian and I believe Roger was the other guys name were so incredibly sweet, on our last night Brian told the chef how much we enjoyed the food especially the cookie sundae as we got it as our dessert every night haha, so the chef came out to talk to us and thank us, the whole staff just made it so enjoyable, and the food is amazing! I highly recommend the crab dip as an appetizer and the double tree cookie sundae for dessert.
