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.

WestOne 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.
