Cons: need more visual display outside to signify the establishment is open. Close the curtains at least half way inside to obtain a darker and more speakeasy atmosphere. Pros: OUTSTANDING food, customer service, and drinks. Cannot recommend the place enough. If you are in town for...Read More

This is a must visit if you’re stopping through Annapolis or if you’re a local. The vibe is 1920’s, both in terms of decor and the cocktail menu. The appetizers are absolutely delicious and creative and there are no TVs to distract from good company....Read More

Really wonderful cocktail experience. I love a classic cocktail especially gin based ones. The corpse reviver #2 was refreshing and light. Brulee Goat Cheese was a good value for what you get and really comforting on a cold day. There is something on this menu...Read More

The Parley Room is a gem hiding in open sight. It overlooks Main Street going down to City Dock, but its entrace is around the corner on School street, at street level, at the back of a terrific terrace with one of Annapolis' best views of the State House dome. The restaurant's 2nd floor window view is an overview of West St., while its School St. Terrace is a first floor view from below of the dome. This somehow makes it hard to find, although when you do, you feel in on a great secret, hiding in open sight, as I say. It's not hard to find it once you do. But unassuming excellence is what the Parely Room excels at. It does the ordinary with such good taste, good judgment, good execution, that it surprises and delights. Everything is good quality in good taste, even the decor. It all feels so nice, so relaxing. The menu is limited, but well limited, and you can't quite figure out what makes their egg salad so good. It's only egg salad, just inexplicably delicious egg salad. And who knew that burrata with peaches is such a good idea? Tuna tartare that beautiful, at that price, in Annapolis? And I don't know what makes that octopus Spanish, but I know it makes it delicious. Delightfully delicious. And when I go for a bottle of wine, the well curated short-list is all the better for being short, and I'm surprised there's a Moulin a Vent on offing, and that it is such a delightful one. The bartender chats me up intelligently, but also knows when to stop so that I can savor my carbonara and bottle of Beaujolais. Then there are the cool cocktails on the Summer afternoon on the patio under the dome: classic cocktails with a hipster turn. Somehow both old and new, both classic and cool. I love the intelligent comfort and comfortable intelligence of the Parley Room. It knows how to make a simple but genuine pleasure out of wild mushrooms on a croissant out on the deck on a beautiful day with a glass of rose under the Capital dome; or a lunch at the bar of a winter afternoon indulgent with wine and surprisingly good gnocchi, given I don't like gnocchi. But I do like them at the Parley Room.

I can't believe I never reviewed this place! I love it here. The cocktails are incredible, the staff is even better. Omar's awesome. It's also tucked away so it feels pretty cozy off of Main Street. Great food too.
