New Baltimore Restaurant in Linthicum, MD Brings Eastern Shore Cuisine to BWI Airport Marriott

Baltimore, MD (April 28, 2010) – Along the Chesapeake Bay, the ebb and flow of the tides act as a living backdrop reflecting the ever changing seasons as well as the lives and traditions of the region's inhabitants. Using this unique coastal area as its primary inspiration, the BWI Airport Marriott Hotel has opened the doors to its new restaurant in Baltimore, Chesapeake, a celebration of life and Eastern Shore comfort. Taking its name and cuisine from that which has made the region famous, this restaurant near the BWI Airport taps into a seafood lover's dream, creating an upscale casual dining establishment where comfort and class come together as one.

Located just a few steps from the hotel's new Lobby {Reinvented}, this new Baltimore restaurant is a warm and stylish modern American bar and grill, featuring Eastern Shore décor, gentle tones of earth colors and wheatgrass in its details, and floor-to-ceiling murals of the Chesapeake River and the surrounding area. Two private dining rooms offer flexible space that can open up for additional breakfast seating or for smaller, intimate gatherings. With a festive happy hour, recessed televisions with the biggest games, and cozy high-backed booths, Chesapeake restaurant promises an engaging and uplifting environment near the Baltimore airport and Linthicum, Maryland.

Throughout the region, the industrious citizens of the Bay have always taken guidance from the seashore's natural resources, creating a brand of cuisine distinctly its own: warm, compelling, traditional, comforting, without sacrificing an ounce of class. On browsing through Chesapeake's menu, those resources become clear. From the Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cake and Grilled Salmon to the award-winning Cream of Crab Soup and the Crab-Crusted Rockfish, seafood is king at this new BWI restaurant. Local favorites like Chesapeake Flatbread, Maryland Fried Chicken, and the legendary Smith Island Layer Cake (from the Smith Island Bakery) combine with other traditional fare to round out an appealing collection of popular Eastern Shore delights. The restaurant also features a number of local ales and an impressive wine list.
