My wife and I came here on a Saturday for brunch. We both ordered the bottomless mimosas to drink. $12 for bottomless mimosas is an absolute steal! We ordered the Bang Shrimp as a starter and it was absolutely delicious! It was also the perfect size to share for 2 people. For entrees I ordered the crab and lobster omelette and my wife ordered the Maryland Benedict. Both of our entrees were absolutely amazing! The food was very good. Our waiter was very attentive at the beginning, but as more people came in we saw her less and less. It was not necessarily her fault though because it seemed like she was the only waiter. We also sat next to a window with a view of a huge construction site so that was a bit of an eye sore, especially when its advertised as being on the water. Our brunch experience was great and we would definitely come back.

I was under the impression this was going to be a romantic dinner with my partner, but it turned more into “how do we justify spending this much money on food like this?” I got the lamb chops, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus was undercooked and I got such a small helping of mashed potatoes. The lamb chops were okay, nothing to write home about. My partner got the blackened chicken Alfredo. The chicken was not blackened, it was more like the precooked chicken you can get from Costco, re-heated. I had 2 drinks, the cosmo, which was ok, and the espresso martini, which I’m pretty sure was just premade mix. We also got dessert and got the lava cake, it was okay. There was no soft part in the middle like there was supposed to be, that was filled with ice cream instead. The service was also just okay. Our server was a young man and he was adorable and polite, I assume new to the position. The other staff could be heard loudly airing their grievances with one another.

Also to note: I was expecting a view of the bay, but there was only construction outside of the window. This is not the restaurant’s fault, but I was a little bummed.

Amazing place for casual lunch or dinner. The host made sure we were able to sit at a table with a good view of the Annapolis dock and guided us to our table. Our server Monica, was incredible, constantly checking on us. Food was delicious and came really quick. I enjoyed eating here, prices were pretty decent too.

Latitude 38 is located in the heart of the Annapolis Waterfront with beautiful views. We were celebrating a birthday and our party consisted of close to 30 people (2 large party seating arrangements). That said, the customer service was good.
The food was absolutely delish! At our table, we had the Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Blackened Seafood Alfredo, Blackened Cod Fish Tacos (all 3 pictured). Additionally, we had crab cake sandwich, wings, and the MUST HAVE Crab Dip. I’ll be returning sooner rather than later and I hope you do too.

Looking for the ultimate Valentine’s Day dining package? The kind that builds character, tests patience, and makes every future date night feel like a luxury? Welcome.

Kick things off with the Reservation Roulette Experience™: arrive at the reserved time and enjoy a surprise 30-minute wait, because nothing says “we’re ready for you” like… not being ready for you. The best part? After finally being seated, the dining room is nearly empty, which really elevates the experience.

Next, bask in the restaurant’s signature lighting design: bright, cold office fluorescents that keep the space feeling unwelcoming and sterile. Like a hospital cafeteria with a water view.

Then comes the Closing Time Countdown: diners are informed the restaurant is closing in 30 minutes—not “kitchen closes soon,” but lights off, doors locked closing. Nothing says love like speed-running dinner with a timer.

And finally, the crown jewel: the $26 appetizer showcase. A stunning display of guacamole and chicken dip that is so clearly not made to order it arrives molded in the exact shape of a disposable plastic cup—ring indentations included—like it was flipped onto the plate and sent out as a gentle reminder that hope is optional. Served with about nine greasy chips to keep things exclusive.

In summary: a bold choice for anyone shopping for poor hospitality, confusing pacing, bleak atmosphere, and premium-priced shortcuts—all wrapped into one unforgettable evening.

A great dinner can be had at Latitude 38 in Annapolis, MD. Recently I had the privilege to try a few of their dishes including a Limeade Crush and a Orange Crush drink.

Dinner included appetizers of Calamari and Peel & Eat Shrimp which was simply divine. A Cream of Crab soup was an excellent choice for the warm up. The main course was a superb crab cake sandwich, and Blackened Seafood Alfredo. The only complaint was that lobster in the seafood alfredo was slightly rubbery. Our server Ryan was very attentive as he did an absolutely awesome job. The dining experience was excellent. The overall rating is a 4.2 out of 5. I definitely recommend this spot.

My wife and I reserved a table at Latitude 38, and upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the receptionist, who led us to a table with a lovely view. The service throughout our meal was exceptional—our server was friendly, always smiling, and remarkably attentive, ensuring we never had to wait for anything.

For appetizers, we decided to share the Crispy Calamari and the Three Cheese Crab Dip. The calamari, while delicious, had a batter that detached and crumbled, suggesting it may have been prepared earlier and reheated. The bell peppers, sliced and baked, appeared to have lost turgor pressure, possibly due to prolonged storage after cooking. However, the calamari itself was in excellent condition and quite flavorful. The Three Cheese Crab Dip, on the other hand, was superb—creamy and rich, topped with diced crab meat and accompanied by small baguette that complemented it perfectly.

For the main dish I opted for the NY Strip Steak, requesting it medium. While I personally prefer medium-rare, I chose medium for safety reasons, as an undercooked medium-rare steak can result in underheated fat tissue that compromises the overall dish. The steak arrived perfectly cooked—the reddish center was fresh and tender, while the crust was well-grilled. A slightly deeper Maillard reaction could have enhanced the flavor further, but it was still well-executed.

My wife chose the Lobster Roll, which did not disappoint. The buns were freshly buttered and expertly toasted, and the lobster filling was wonderfully flavorful.

Having read some critical reviews beforehand, I understand that every restaurant has its own approach to balancing quality and efficiency. Latitude 38 successfully strikes a balance between delivering satisfying dishes and managing high-volume service effectively. Located in the bustling City Dock of Annapolis, the restaurant faces an influx of tourists at any given moment. Some efficiency-driven choices are inevitable, but the overall experience was quite enjoyable.

Would I return? Absolutely. The combination of attentive service, quality food, and a well-thought-out approach to handling busy crowds makes Latitude 38 a solid dining choice.

Our first time. Came in for my birthday this past Monday, 7/1/24 around 6pm. Our server was fantastic and was very thorough. When we walked in, several hostesses welcomed us with a smile. It was a slower night and everyone was really on top of their game. I’ve worked approximately 20 years in the service industry and was extremely impressed with everything from the service to the food and little details.

Really nice location and our server was wonderful. We got appetizers, drinks and lunch. She recommended we get a second piece of bread for the crab dip right out of the gate and she was right-on with that suggestion. We all enjoyed our food and beverages very much and we sat on an enclosed patio and could view the parking lot and water. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to have dinner with a relaxed atmosphere. A partial view of the water and a great view of the Annapolis skyline. I don’t eat fish but the chicken options were delicious. Yummy key lime pie.
