Moved away to the Middle East for several years...it use to be our favorite place to eat in Annapolis...we've eaten there twice now...just not the same. It is a shame when a chef leaves and a business is sold it changes so much. The carpet was dirty and the co-ed restrooms were one of the worst I have used in... more

We witnessed a mouse coming and going at his convenience, and though I'm not totally grossed out by vermins I was disappointed by the servicewoman blowing us off and stating that it's cold outside, and the time of year that mice come in from the alley. The corner booth seat smelled stale - like a homeless person, and the carpet... more

I have to rescind my review entitled “Calamari and Thai mussels are AMAZING.” I went there today and discovered the restaurant has been sold. The menu is completely different. There were no mussels. And the calamari was simply bad. Too much breading and overcooked. In fact, after the appetizers we decided not to order anything else, paid, and went elsewhere... more

Spencer and I had our first date here. It will always, always be my favorite place in Annapolis. However, since Jerry was fired and since our favorite wait staff quit, we won't be eating much here anymore. There used to be flavors here unlike anything I had ever tasted...a true Annapolis jewel. more

This restaurant delivers uniques meals in a small cozy atmosphere. The sushi is okay, but the regular menu has some great dishes. Nice fusion food with a Thai flare. This is not the place for the meat and potato crowd. Okay wine list, good beer selection more

Yin Yankee is cozy (seats about 40-45), so the wait staff is able to be attentive. Go there a couple times and they become positively friendly. We go there every few months and are always greeted with an enthusiastic, "Hi! It's good to see you again!" The sushi is always fresh and innovative. Their funky maki is amazing (try the... more
