I accept part of the blame for not doing more upfront research, but the lunch menu selections at Estuary did not meet my expectations. The restaurant is promoted as Chesapeake focused, and to me that implies crab and seafood. I chose the crab roll, the only crab option, and although quite tasty, the seasoning disguised the crab so much so that it could have been any firm white fish. Likewise the Old Bay Fries were coated fries like at Burger King, so the Old Bay had not permeated the potato and was only on the surface. It was an acceptable lunch, but it just did not meet my expectations.
All the dishes we ordered were excellently prepared (the seared salmon, the asparagus risotto, and the sinigang). The sinigang is a Filipino seafood soup with a tamarind broth. Every Filipino family has their favorite rendition, and this version with scallops, mussels, fish, and shrimp was outstanding. It was our family's the favorite dish of the night.
The tuna tartare and the smash burgers were amazing! Great vibes ambiance wise, the burger took about an hour which was a bit on the longer side. Overall worth it! Spent $130 for two people including tip.
It was fine. Nothing special. Definitely less of an experience than it was when we first tried a few years ago. Restaurant was also empty on a Saturday. Should’ve been our first clue.

Simple but fantastic menu at Estuary. Our table decided to share appetizers and entrees family style and I’m so happy we did! Too many good dishes to order just one!
Excellent staff, excellent attention, excellent food and ambiance. We will be back. Staff went above and beyond!
Always a pleasure to dine at Estuary. Amazing customer care and service. Can't wait to go back. Thank you
I absolutely love this restaurant! The views are breathtaking, and Ignacio, our host, is fantastic!
