After serving the Annapolis community since 1983, it is with an incredibly heavy heart that I share the news that O’Learys Seafood will be closing its doors due to the loss of our lease. This was not my decision, and it is not the ending I ever imagined or hoped for. For more than four decades, this restaurant has been more than a place to eat; it has been a gathering place, a home for memories, and a part of my life that I will always carry with me.
To every customer who walked through our doors, and especially to our loyal customers who stood by us year after year, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you shared a meal with us, celebrated milestones here, brought family and friends to our tables, or simply made us part of your routine, your kindness, loyalty, laughter, and support have meant more to me than I can ever fully put into words.
I invite you to visit before our final day of service on August 2, so I can thank you in person and we can share a few more memories before this chapter comes to an end.
I will also be scheduling a staff appreciation night, where all proceeds will go directly to our staff. They have given so much of themselves to O’Learys Seafood, and I want to honor their hard work, dedication, and the heart they have poured into this place over the years.
With love and heartfelt appreciation,
Wil Peterson
O’Learys Seafood
