The outside of the building looks like a ship and inside it has a casual nautical theme. Their restaurant across the street by the water has a 5 star view. Michele was our attentive and helpful waitress suggesting the sampler platter that did not disappoint. 3 small crab cakes packed with crab, 2 skewered shrimp and a scallop, 4 crab legs that the meat easily came out of and a nice portion of salmon. The sides were good garlic green beans and rice. Also, my companion got the best savory cheese grits he's ever had. Great experience.

Service was fabulous, the waitresses took care of your every need, extremely attentive! The food was okay being that I was in Baltimore I expected to get some of the best crabs, what I received was crabs that taste like they'd been steamed in unseasoned water. The fries were terrific, thank goodness Baltimore is heavy on the fresh cut fries, so delicious! The hush puppies and corn were great too. I order the apple cobbler ...it would have benefited from being in the oven about 10 minutes or so longer. I love a cobble that has moist, tender apples, the crust was too doughy. I would definitely go back especially if they season the crab water with some obay before adding the crabs!

Excellent fratata with blue Crab for breakfast. Coffee not to weak. I'm prefer a dark roast myself. Friendly service on a rainy Monday morning before I departed the historic Fels point Baltimore Maryland.

Finally tried this place just because of the Groupon deal and it went about as expected. Crab cakes were meh. Steamed shrimp were good until I found a couple mushy ones. Ceviche is in a tomato based sauce which was bizarre, but not inedible. I wouldn’t go back but if you feel like getting a cheap dinner grab the Groupon and maybe avoid the seafood.

We went here as a party of four including two kids. The atmosphere inside is cramped. The tables in the center are so close together you can touch them..... About 6 inches. You can participate in stranger's conversation or ask them to pass the salt. No draft beer and expensive bottles. The food quality is nothing spectacular especially at the prices they ask. They seafood Alfredo including three shrimp with tails still on inside a cream dish. Small half lobster tail sitting on top also unshelled and covered in sauce. I personally hate that but there is a special place in hell for those who serve fried shrimp on a kids menu with the tail still on and battered indistinguishable from the butterfly shrimp so that kids can chomp down right on it and choke. Automatic 18% gratuity added on for party of 4. It's not a gratuity if it is automatic and fixed. Overall a mediocre restaurant serving outrageous prices for the privilege to eat in a boat shaped building. There are plenty of other places in the Baltimore area that are better. This was the worst place we have been to.

The crab dip, crab cake, and stuffed shrimp were all excellent, as were the sides. The service was also exceptional. All around a great experience.

I feel your staff needs more custmer service training. Especially your night hostess. She was rude and not at all interested in trying to help the customer. Of course with the way she handle things with me and my family, I refused to eat in your establishment. And will never again.

Food was great and the atmosphere made the night even more enjoyable. Expect to spend a lot but in my experience, the food was worth it. Our waitress did NOT provide us with 18% worth of gratuity (But policy gave it to her automatically). In fact, her service was sub standard. We have had much MUCH better service at our local diner back home. Other then her, everyone else was pleasent and attentive, and if it wasn't for that, our waitress alone wouldve reduced the stars from 4 to 3.

The hostess was rude and totally disrespectful. I asked to speak to the manager and he didn't do anything about her behavior. And the restaurant smells like roach
