True Chesapeake

“The quality of food, drinks, and service of this establishment has no equal.”

We tried True Chesapeake for the first time last month and overall had a really good experience. The menu is a bit limited, but everything feels intentional and well put together, which actually works in its favor. Service was super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being too much. The vibe is relaxed but still feels a little upscale, which we liked. Most of the food was fresh and really flavorful, but the fries were honestly a miss. They were bland and kind of forgettable, which stood out even more compared to everything else we had. Still, it’s a solid spot and we’d definitely g

Really disappointing from beginning to end. 1. Walked in and they didn’t have the reservation. Told us we had canceled our reservation… we had not ( at least not on purpose)… Still, felt the need to tell us twice in a condescending way, then made it seem like they were doing us a favor by finding us a table (at 5:30p… it wasn’t very busy). And reminded us we had to be out of there by 7:30 (given we had Hippodrome tickets, we had already said we’d be gone by then, but the host felt a need to belabor that). 2.

Brunch at True Chesapeake was such a great experience. The grilled oysters were easily one of the highlights and everything else we tried kept that same level of quality. The flavors were thoughtful and the pacing of the meal felt perfect. I also loved the atmosphere. There is something about that Falls Road location that just makes you feel relaxed the moment you walk in. The staff was kind and welcoming and the whole visit flowed beautifully. It was truly delicious from start to finish.

The restaurant feels like a true hidden gem of the beaten path. But, once you're inside it feels like a local restaurant you've been going to for years, even if it's your first time. The atmosphere is flawless as is the service. The prices are very reasonable and the cocktails will keep you warm inside and out. We had oysters, the mushroom tart, the scallops with pork belly, the cauliflower and the reverse apple pie. Everything was impeccable aside from the apple pie being a bit underwhelming, but not bad. I'd recommend this place to anyone and look forward to coming back again.
