Stopped by last week for some fried oysters and a caeser salad with salmon. The salmon was top notch. Perfectly cooked and delicious. The oysters as well. Very tasty and the garlic butter which accompanied them was fantastic. They were a bit on the small side, so it was nice the kitchen included a few more than the menu described. The caeser dressing, however, was not caeser dressing. I went there looking for a traditional caeser dressing on my salad and got some sort of vinegar-based dressing that tasted like Italian dressing and nothing like caeser. I double-checked the menu and website, in case I missed something, but found no explanation. When I spoke with the server about this, she said they do not have a traditional caeser dressing. The dressing on my salad was what they called their "caeser". It was not what I wanted and, if the website/menu had been more descriptive, I would have been better informed for my dinner choices. I implore the chef or management to make a change to the restaurant's menu and website so as not to mislead their patrons. No one wants a surprise when ordering something as simple as a salad. Other than that the restaurant was clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the other food was very enjoyable. My only other gripe was that the deck seating was incredibly noisy and could have been helped by opening the weather resistant barrier in some places.

Nice atmosphere, great service, the grilled cheese crab sandwich was fantastic. The truffle tots were very lovely crispy but left me searching for truffle. The crabcake sandwich was good but average considering this is MD. Draft IPA was cold, but in plastic on the closed deck.

Always believed you couldn’t get away with a poor crab cake on the Maryland Chesapeake Bay. This place proved me wrong. Crab cakes were full of filler and dry, not the buttery lump crab cakes I expected.

The appetizer came out after we were done eating. The meal was just ok, lukwarm and no seasoning. Service was really slow. And the guy who was bringing out our food had a full beard with no hair net.

We ordered ribeye steaks, ordered well done, no pink, wanted well done, but not black. When we got our meals, red and bloody on inside. Waitress took back to get well done. Returned with steaks, cooked better, but so tough, unable to chew pieces of steak. Rest of food we ordered was good. Asked to speak to manager. She needs to be re-educated on customer service, hospitality. Told us she would only take half off meal, stating because we ordered well done. Issue wasnt that they were well done, it was the steak was so tough that you couldnt chew it, ribeye steaks are the most tender, we eat them all the time, and they are always tender when we make well done. She was trying to say because we got well done that was reason why they were tough. She obviously does not know the resteraunt business very well. And to treat customers so poorly. This was suppose to be a fine dining experience, and this was unacceptable. And you should never argue with the customer, and as a manager you should try to find a solution to make the situation right. She should not have a job in this position. Would not recommend dining here.

Vegetarian options: Had the new salad. It was delicious. I got the balsamic vinaigrette with it

Kristin Brendle

Got the seafood gumbo...it was absolutely delicious, however the menu says it's made with Andouille Sausage...yea no. It was 100% hotdog. $20 for rice, hotdog, and 4 large shrimp. Shrimp were banging.

Amazing views, awesome service, price for food needs to be addressed. Way overpriced. 18$ for a 6 inch cheesteak and 4 oz of fries. Much better tasting food elsewhere.

Wings were ordered old bay and were heavily seasoned with garlic. Fried oysters were good but very small. Bartender ate food with fingers then made drinks with garnishes and never once washed her hands. Pretty gross! Glad they weren't my drinks. Thought there was a health dept. rule about that. We left and took our business elsewhere.
