AMAZING!! I came here for my birthday and had such an incredible time. The food was soooo good especially the mussels! Our waiter was super friendly and checked on us often, which made the experience even better. A special shoutout to the manager, Joey Gavino. He was absolutely excellent! So kind, funny, and made my birthday extra memorable. #bestmanagerever

Wonderful experience at this waterfront restaurant! The atmosphere was perfect, the food was delicious and the whole staff was welcoming and accommodating. I must mention our server Josh was excellent. The experience was made by the manager Joey. He checked on us continuously throughout the evening, shared personal stories, and took group photos for us. Joey made us feel like family. I will definelty return to Ampersea if I’m back in Baltimore.

Customer service was outstanding (Thank you Joey and waiter Malik) Food was excellent….Crab dip w/pretzel 10/10, Chilean sea bass w/shrimp and rice 10/10; fried green tomatoes 7/10, only because I’m not a big tomato person but my friend who is a tomato lover enjoyed them. Oh and the strawberry ginger lemon drop mocktail - yummy 10/10 :)
