"We polled a cross section of food writers in the Chesapeake region, asking each to name their favorite restaurants in our readership area. There are busy people, eating their hearts out and spilling the beans in printed reports on what they find on frequent forays into the area's fine dining establishments, casual bistros, waterfront hideaways, and ethnic eateries. They agreed to share their secrets on our condition of anonymity of individual choices, so we list their top 25 choices - including their personal comments and recommendations - in alphabetical order.
The votes show Michael Rork's Town Dock restaurant as the most popular pick among our critics.
Rork is no stranger to accolades for his culinary talents, having won national recognition during the 8 years he spent as executive chef at the posh Harbor Court Hotel in Baltimore. In 1995, he gave up city life for the more relaxed style of the Eastern Shore and has created a delightful dining destination on the St. Michael's Harbor. He is as adept at roasting a rack of lamb as he is at sauteeing a soft-shelled crab - and the wine list at the restaurant is exceptional."

The Washington Post
