Chesapeake & Maine, our new geographically enamored seafood restaurant is set to open next month, offering fresh seafood sourced exclusively from the Maine and Chesapeake regions!

We'll be incorporating our off-centered ales throughout the menu with items like a 'Beernaise', a twist on a classic béarnaise, and Namaste Steamed Ebenecooke Mussels, procured from the Dogfish Head peninsula in Maine and delivered fresh within 48 hours of ordering! Also featured is a very off-centered Dogfish oyster collaboration with Hooper’s Island Oyster Farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A specially built raw bar features quality lobsters and oysters directly from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Maine regions.

We'll also be spotlighting our new line of scratch-made spirits. The bar menu features handcrafted cocktails made from our Whole Leaf Gin, Compelling Gin and Analog Vodka that were personally crafted by celebrity bartender Mia Mastroianni. Additionally, three house made, keg-conditioned cocktails will be served on tap. Yep, cocktails on tap!

Handcrafted Cocktails

The design of the restaurant by OTTO Architects and Dogfish Head is synonymous with its menu and created with an off-centered nautical theme. The build-out was executed by Lighthouse Construction. Entry is via a unique facade constructed to replicate a lobster trap while oyster shell chandeliers, round porthole windows and industrial brass cage lighting fixtures warm the space. Large columns finished with chunky knots are strategically placed to separate the raw bar from the back dining room that is wrapped with wooden panels to mirror a captain’s quarters.

You'll find original artwork from artist Jon Langford, with seafaring interpretations of country and rock music icons who will anchor Chesapeake & Maine’s playlist: Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline. Other featured artists include Travis Louie who created otherworldly sea characters to adorn the walls, as well as Tony Millionaire who crafted an alley of sea monsters and fantastical nautical maps.

Chesapeake & Maine serves as the seafood complement to the brewpub next door and will initially open for dinner service from 4pm – 10pm. We'll begin our soft opening (at reduced capacity) beginning on March 7th, and ramp up to full occupcancy by March 14th.

We're so excited to show you all that Chesapeake & Maine has to offer and hope you'll join us for dinner one evening!
