Inn At Osprey Point

We are frequent patrons of the Inn since we purchased our home in Rock Hall four years ago. We love the Inn, marina and grounds, however the quality, preparation and presentation of the food on our last two visits was disappointing. The new chef, a woman from Poland I believe, hasn’t been able to come up to the level of cuisine that the Inn had presented in the past. Hopefully this is a short term problem that will be rectified in the near future.

Had fun at the wine tasting
Tried some really good wine
Loved the beef wellington appetizers
Then had the prime rib dinner that was excellent
A very nice evening with 12 friends

Salads are very good, flavorful and creative. Crab cakes are fair, and seafood pasta was good. Prices are high, ambiance is refreshingly old world historic. In the end expensive meal, that was good overall. Employee took off work clothes and left with backpack in tow wearing a tanktop through the main dining area. Didn’t seem very professional considering the restaurant has a prim and proper aura. Would still probably go back due to the nice setting and creative dishes.

This is a review of the restaurant — I stopped in for dinner but wasn’t staying at the inn.
I got there a few minutes early and enjoyed ambling around the piers in the little harbor. It’s a working harbor, not posh exactly, but a nice setting with a maritime atmosphere. More than one party came into the restaurant directly off of their boat, and windburned and chino’d they were.
The oysters on the half shell were good — not as good as kumamoto or Long Island Sound oysters, but fresh, and better than the oysters I ate a few days later in Chestertown. My duck entrée and mesclun salad were also good.
This is a good option in the area for higher-​end menu choices. The décor and atmosphere are nice, not haute. It’s expensive compared to other restaurants in the area generally, but it’s not expensive compared to area restaurants that offer a similar menu. Compared to what I’m used to in big cities, I thought it was a very good value.

I wanted to find a b & b near my fiancé’s grandmother’s who lives in rock hall. Mission accomplished.
Treated him to a night here and dinner at the restaurant (see separate review for food critique).
The inn was built in 1993 though the original farmhouse is available and is much older. Turns out my fiancé’s family once owned the property.
Terry the innkeeper was so warm and welcoming. She called ahead of time to make sure we were still staying over since the weather was icy and dangerous to drive in.
We arrived late afternoon on Sunday March 1 and departed the next day.
We stayed in the room called ‘escapade’ which boasts a jacuzzi tub, king sized posted bed, sitting room, and two separate entrances (one closer to the steps near the restaurant and the other closer to the office).
The room was clean and overlooks the water/​marina.
The amenities of a hotel room were all there including plush robes and a mini fridge.
There is a small tv in a wooden armoire as well.
Everyone was so pleasant and we had a delicious meal at the restaurant. The next morning we enjoyed Terry’s quiche Lorraine and other homemade treats for breakfast. For the healthier crowd there are hard boiled eggs, granola, wheat breads and fruit.
We will be back this summer and look forward to our stay and enjoying the pool, kayaking and other warm weather activities.

This is such an amazing Eastern Shore treasure! After looking at several venues for her wedding, my sister decided on the Inn at Osprey Point to host her special day. It was really a no brainer– the location was gorgeous and right on the water, the food at the Inn was delicious (especially the scallops and crab cakes), and the venue’s contacts (Casey and Devon) were extremely accommodating and customer service oriented. Leading up the big day, we kept in close contact with Casey and Devon to plan out all of the wedding details. They were on top of everything, and so patient with our questions and requests. We really lucked out with them– they were wonderful! The wedding day turned out extremely well and everything was so beautiful. Several of our wedding guests have even talked about going back to the Inn for a weekend getaway! You really have to check out this place and see for yourself– you won’t regret it!

Ok, a fantastic day and night ensued at the Inn at Osprey Point. It started early this morning when we arrived at the beautiful Inn by boat — we were early yet the dock hand was pleasant and courteous in guiding us into an open slip. Our room was not ready but we didn’t expect it to be — after all, we got here at 9am and check in was 1pm. So, we grabbed two of the free bikes and headed to town (down the driveway and to the left one short mile).
I was immediately struck by the amount of bicycle and pedestrian traffic wandering the street. Everyone appeared to be really enjoying their morning walk, there were many nods of hello — it was charming.
Town is just a few blocks long — coffee was best at Java Café was definitely the best in town. After a nice ramble through some of the very quaint shops, we headed back to the Inn to stow luggage, etc.
Hit the lovely pool where there is a poolside bar and grill (I think it’s too expensive — $ 9 for a hamburger). So, we brought our own cocktails and lunch back to the pool and dined al fresco. A great time was had by both of us.
After the pool, it was another great bike ride to town and a visit to the local American Legion (great crowd. We were welcomed by at least 8 locals who gave us great stories and guidance for getting around town).
The Inn’s Room? We are in Escapade and it is simply gorgeous — there is a nice side benefit to this room; walk down the steps and you end up in the bar!
I was not feeling well so my very better half went downstairs and ordered the carpacchio appetizer, followed by a filet and the excellent scallops. There is no organized room service yet the dining staff brought our food right to our room.
The dinner? Simply incredible! Others mention that it’s pricey and perhaps it is a bit but you won’t have a better meal outside New York (I’ve never been in any restaurant in DC that can touch this place). The portion size was much larger than I expected, flavors were unexpected and delightful, the chef knows what he’s doing!
Other patrons have mentioned the ‘get it done’ attitude of the staff. I second, third and fourth that opinion. They go way above and beyond the scope of duty at this Inn.
You cannot possibly go wrong by staying at this bayfront Inn on the Chesapeake Bay. A view to rival Carmel, CA — staff who are dedicated to keeping you happy — world class dining right downstairs — free bikes for a nice ride wherever. We’ve already decided our next vacation here!

Best meal I’ve had In a long time. Beautiful scenic location on the water in kent county with ample parking and a cozy small dinng area with a fireplace. The biggest surprise at osprey is the food that unexpectedly comes out of the kitchen. Prepared by a 23 year old prodigy named Matt… Osprey is all about showcasing this young mans talent. We ate here in late feb as part of a weekend getaway. We started our meal with the king of all cream of crab soups, followed by the crab cakes entrée and Striped bass, both of which were carefully prepared and presented to the table. I always appreciate it when a chef takes the time to focus on creating comprehensive dishes where ingredients meld together and serve a purpose. The decorative element added a nice touch too. For dessert we had the poached pear and ended our evening with an awesome chefs tasting.
I would recommend osprey to anyone looking for a hearty modern american meal? The menu is very limited but the food is local and everything on the menu seems to be on a steady rotation. It’s great to see ambitious young people creating dishes that rival any new york restaurant. I only hope this special little kitchen survives and grows.

My husband took me there for Valentine’s week end this year. We stayed for 3 nights. He booked us a gorgeous room, «the Escapade» that has breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay.
The service: let me emphasize with vigor how far above and beyond the folks at the Osprey Point Inn go to make their guests happy. They have been bending over backwards to make our stay the best it could possibly be since the night of our arrival, always going the extra mile, always managing to surprise us with a thoughtful gesture. On a scale from one to ten, I give the service a 20.
The restaurant: I’ll say it flat out, the Inn’s restaurant is the best restaurant of the area. I am a total foodie, I am from a long line of older foodies, and everyone in my family cooks, which makes me a pretty tough food critic. We have been dutifully sampling the local fare at other restaurants in the area, none of them even come close. Their Executive Chef, Matt Whitehair, is managing to be inventive and stay fresh in his approach to classics, while still staying true to what made them classics in the first place. The dishes are therefore never boring, while still maintaining their «comfort» factor. The main ingredient always shines, showcased by its accoutrements, but never lost in them.
His tea smoked seared scallops are divine, and I seriously advise you to try them if you are in luck and they are on the menu. We are having dinner there again tonight, and I’m already looking forward to trying his lamb (served with a pear purée, glazed carrots and fingerling potatoes, and complemented with a gastrique reduction, if you please…).
I also want to point out that I have a medical condition that forbids me to eat any type of nuts or seeds, and that the Chef himself took the time to accommodate the Valentine’s menu to make my dining experience as good as it could be.
In a nutshell, if you are in the area and want to have a seriously fantastic dinner, go to the Osprey Point. If you are not from the area and are looking for a comfortable romantic getaway where you can enjoy your wine and have a fine dining experience without having to worry about driving back to your hotel, go to the Osprey Point. Basically, just go to the Osprey Point.

On the lake, beautiful and quaint rooms with private bathrooms. Comfortable beds and linens and a spectacular view over the lake and marina. Staff is friendly and treat you like family.

My friend and I were recently in the area exploring and thought we would stay at a local B&B for the night. Problem was it was a Sunday and not much was open for dinner. We stumbled on the Inn at Osprey and had quite a delightful surprise. Matt the chef is young, hip and darling. They were not busy, the place is off the beaten path in the winter, it appears, so we had only 5 other couples join us later. Matt prepared the most interesting dishes that were so fresh, thoughtful and sophisticated. We thought we were in NYC or San Francisco. The wine menu was pitiful, but he made up for it. If you are in this area of the country, call and make sure Matt is there. It is worth the effort. There is a table right in front of the fireplace. If it is cold out, book that one. We sat at the tiny bar and were waited on hand and foot by the bartender/​waiter. It was a great evening and we left a tip as big as the check, we were that grateful for Matt saving the day. We thought we were going to end up with a pack of Nabs in the room.

We ate in the restaurant twice during our recent stay in Rock Hall as we were staying upstairs at the Inn. The food was simply amazing. Seafood bisque and home cured salmon were our appetizers. He had the crab cakes and I the pan seared scallops with maitake mushrooms. Mine was perfection. The sauce was so good, I was tempted to lick the plate. Dessert we shared a pecan tart with pumpkin ice cream. YUM! The second time we just had appetizers and dessert. The salad for me and he had scallops and seared tuna. Again, everything was delicious. Both times we were there the chef came out to check on everything and to chat briefly. The service was attentive, the room is beautiful. What more could you ask? We would definately eat there again.

the food is different, eclectic, sometimes the end results jive together and sometimes not. atmosphere is great, location beautiful and would definitely try it again.
