The opening of a new restaurant in the village of Chestertown, Maryland is a watershed event in Eastern Shore dining. The aptly named Watershed Alley has designed its food, its setting, and its tasteful architecture to highlight the remarkable resources of its local surroundings. The true origins of the restaurant can be traced to the origins of the Chesapeake Bay itself. For centuries, the Chesapeake Bay watershed has provided a boundless variety of seafood and local farm food for the greater Chesapeake region. Watershed Alley’s distinctive cuisine, atmosphere, and service draw upon and extend this tradition, offering creative options that highlight traditional ingredients and flavors.
