EXCELLENT Based on 2265 reviews J BroomerMarch 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went here for the first time with my wife for Valentine's Day and headed back for our first year's Anniversary... A Diamond.... J MacMarch 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We lived in Baltimore 30 years ago. Most of my favorite crab houses are gone. But I've discovered a couple of new faves and Wellwood is fantastic. If you remember Cheers, they had the bar but then a fancy restaurant upstairs. Wellwood goes one better: it's a cozy bar. A beautiful fancier restaurant. And also a world class crab room. They have crabs all year and our February Louisiana crabs were huge, heavy and delicious. Great friendly service and right on the river. New favorite! James ByrdMarch 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great restaurant for special occasions. Bonita O'CallaghanFebruary 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This restaurant is a hidden gem on the water in historical Charlestown. The Wellwood is a destination restaurant completely worth a drive. The food was fabulous! I had the Broiled Seafood Platter which was hearty portions of scallops and shrimp, a petite crab cake, and a lobster tail. It was cooked perfectly, and I am very picky about the way scallops are prepared. Then my son had a special of halibut piled high with crab meat served over risotto which was beautifully plated and tasted amazing! Highly recommend the Wellwood it is a Maryland must try!

Just happen to stop in on a whim for dinner for our 20th Valentines, after we deicded the 1st place we had chosen was not the right place. I was expecting for a long wait time, but we were greeted by some wonderful ladies at the front door and were able to be seated right away. My wife and I couldn't have been more pleased. Everything was delicious. We order the firecracker shrimp, French onion soup, my wife got a quesadilla, and I got the filet mignon with a crab cake. Was not disappointed in anything. The drinks were just as good as the food. Service was wonderful. This is differently a hidden gem, and will differently be coming back. I have no problem with the prices, cause it is worth it. Timarra BaskervilleFebruary 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A million stars! Now I have a new favorite when I visit Maryland! Amazing food, amazing service. Thanks!
