Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Trappe

Had a 5 o’clock reservation but arrived about ten minutes early. Hostess could hardly speak and we weren’t seated until five after the hour. Server was busy but acknowledged us that she would be right with us. Once she ended up at our table she was apologetic, bubbly and full of energy. Super refreshing to see someone love their job, understand multitasking and still make you feel like you’re her only table. She was incredible! I’m probably spelling her name wrong, but Nakara needs a raise and the ability to train others.

We have always tried to dine at Osteria when we are in Annapolis. The food is prepared perfectly and the service is excellent. we usually have Dimitri as our server and as he is a certified sommelier he always has an excellent and affordable suggestion for wine pairings. This is a must-do restaurant.

My wife and I came here for our first time after wanting to visit for over a year. We selected the 4 course dining option w/o the wine pairing. We both enjoyed a cocktails before and during dinner service. The drinks were on point for liquor and taste. We enjoyed appetizers of oysters, duck, veal and butternut squash soup. All were amazing flavorful and delicious. For entrees, my wife enjoyed the halibut and I the smoked duck breast. The duck was the best I have ever tasted. We finished the evening with dessert. She selected a cashew/pecan cake and I had the cherry glazed cake with creme fresh and chocolate shavings. Mine was absolutely amazing as the cake is in the shape of an oversized cherry, covered in decadent chocolate and covered in cherry glaze. It looked like an oversized cherry on the plate. It was delicious. Service was the best we had in any restaurant on the Eastern Shore. We will be back.

Beautiful dinner as always. Happy to go to support For All Seasons.

Theo’s hamburgers are better than a lot of steaks served by other restaurants. Thick burger. Crisp seared crust. Ordered rare and that’s how it arrived. Well seasoned. No need to add salt or pepper. Got the “Full Moon” version. Not bun. No sauces. Just a perfect burger and a full sized salad. Your choice from the menu. From onion soup to salad, all good food and very good service provided on a busy night. I wish we lived closer. I’d be back for the steak real soon.
