  • Amazing Bridal Shower At True Chesapeake!

    Verified review
    SuzyJan 17

    I recently hosted my sister's bridal shower at True Chesapeake, and we could not have been happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, the team was friendly, expert, responsive, and accommodating. The venue itself is a stunning blend of chic, rustic, and industrial elegance - the perfect backdrop for a special day. They were extremely flexible in accommodating our guests' dietary needs, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The food, oysters, cocktails, and overall ambiance were all incredible. Paul, Patrick, Lucy, and the entire True Chesapeake team truly made our celebration feel seamless and special. We highly recommend them for any event!

  • Perfect Night at True Chesapeake

    We had a fantastic experience with True Chesapeake reserving the main dining area. The team at True Chesapeake worked with us to develop a cocktail list for our Happy Hour and a wine list for dinner with a great selection of exciting options. The oysters served at the Happy Hour were incredible as always and everyone really enjoyed the food. They were able to work with us to support options for guests with dietary restrictions without issue. On the day the staff was on point to support the event and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend booking your event with True Chesapeake.

  • Great spot for a watch party and your next event!

    I've always enjoyed visiting here for a dinner or happy hour, so it was a lot of fun getting to see an event in action as well for a True Chesapeake O's watch party! Guests had a great time and loved the oysters and variety of beverages and happy hour bites to choose from! True Chesapeake has a fantastic patio area too and ample space inside. You can't go wrong here! :)
