The blending of the traditional with the modern is a theme one can’t help but be immersed in when exploring Downtown Annapolis. You can take in the iconic legacy of the United States Naval Academy, or visit million dollar yachts on Ego Alley. Testaments to Victorian and Georgian era architecture that have housed some of the biggest names in American history are anachronistically interwoven between luxury hotels, retail centers, and souvenir shops. And an emerging dining scene is being driven by chefs who create contemporary menus by combining classic techniques with the bounty of local ingredients.
One such place is the West Kitchen and Tavern, which prides itself on being a ‘modern interpretation of the classic shore tavern’ and honors the culture and heritage of the Chesapeake Bay region through both food and ambiance. Located inside the stunning Loews Annapolis Hotel, West Kitchen is a dining destination those hungry for a true taste of Annapolis should seek out, whether staying at the hotel or not.
Eating and drinking at West Kitchen exceeds what has come to be expected of hotel restaurants and exemplifies the Annapolitan nature to mix the old and new. Guests get to choose from a wide array of seasonal menu items crafted from fine local seafood, produce and protein, which are cooked in an open kitchen in plain view by a highly talented team of trained cooks. Favorite local and regional dishes are re-imagined for a unique and upscale dining experience, and exceptional service ensures an overall pleasurable experience.
West is pet-friendly, hosts regular events, and can be rented for weddings, conferences and other large gatherings, making it a perfect place to enjoy a special occasion or recharge during a day trip to Annapolis. Whether you’re hungry for delicious workday lunch, a romantic meal with a loved one, or a place to let loose during weekend brunch, West Kitchen inside the Loews Annapolis Hotel will satisfy any appetite or curb any craving for fresh, local, and fun food.
