Chesapeake’s West derives much of its authentic Eastern Shore qualities from décor that features genuine nautical antiques and artifacts. Pairing this cozy, seaside ambiance with welcoming service and fresh ingredients has made it the perfect spot for creating memorable moments.

As part of the Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants, we offer fresh seafood that’s sourced daily, local, handcrafted microbrews, an extensive wine list and prime-graded beef. We are known for live Maine lobster, Maryland Crab cakes, a variety of fresh fish, and assorted oyster selection.

Chesapeake’s features a raw bar, Sunday brunch, and happy hour in the bar/lounge. Full menus — including gluten free options are available and can be enjoyed on our patio. Free onsite parking and a courtesy shuttle is available for local hotels.

Whether you come for the food, the drinks, or the atmosphere, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.

Buffet only on Easter, Mother's & Father's Days, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    Waiter was not very attentive as we simply ordered entrees and each had a bowl of awesome soup. No alcohol, no appetizer’s, no dessert in our case no service. Very disappointed

    We were seated in the bar area which was noisy, and the temperature was cool with the air blowing down on our table. We asked to be seated in the dining area which had several open booths and tables but were told that it was reserved for other patrons. The food was cold in fact the butter would not melt on my baked potato or sword fish. My wife's oysters tasted like saw dust. Very disappointing for this restaurant!
