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.

Not crowded at all on Friday midday. Had an allergy menu ready to share with us. QR code lets you order drinks and food at your own pace and without having to wait for servers. We were checked on many times… since there wasn’t a lot of customers, but a lot of staff. We had meat and cheese board, pretzel and sausage roll. Meat & cheese board was just ok. Others were great. Drinks were awesome- Baltimore blonde and lemon raspberry experimental one were our favs.

We have come here about half a dozen times and most of the time it’s a lovely experience. The oysters are always fab. The fish is always fab. Drinks are on point. The problem is often with meat dishes lacking the depth of flavor found in their seafood dishes. But it’s always a treat to end with their apple galette - best dessert ever!

Our favorite restaurant in Catonsville. The drinks are amazing (smoky old fashion), the food delicious and generous portions - we had the wedge salad and amazing arctic char with savory green beans and nice cheesy risotto. But best of all was our server - he’s a real pro. Makes everyone feel special and appreciated.
