Dining at The Robert Morris Inn with celebrity Chef Proprietor Mark Salter

Chef Partner and British Master Chef, Mark Salter, brings a modern British approach, combined with classical sensibilities, to the Chesapeake Bay. A Bay resident since 1993, Salter has immersed himself in the region's cooking and seafood bounty. A friend to local farmers, artisan producers and the seasons, Salter turns to sustainability and the richness of Maryland's natural larder for herbs, fruit and vegetables at every opportunity. 

The Inn's private dining rooms features historic panelling and a warm atmosphere. Here both waterfront and historic town views are enjoyed for private lunch and dinner parties. Dining in these rooms is a more formal experience where many of the dishes  include signature favorites.

Salter's Tavern and Tap Room offers a uniquely historic, elegant, yet relaxed setting. A big draw for the sailing community visiting Oxford and locals alike. Great casual dining from a menu featuring many of Chef Salter's signature dishes and popular traditional favourites. Just right for every season, the Tavern features a landscaped courtyard and a magnificent open-hearth fireplace, both perfect for relaxing with friends.
