While it sounds like a salty seadog hangout, the Old Angler's Inn is actually one of the poshest restaurants in town. Inside the warm, rustic-chic dining room, French Laundry–inspired fare mixed with Chesapeake flavor comes to the table. The scene is more casual in the outside beer garden (burgers and sandwiches $8 to $16; open 2:30pm to 6pm).
