“Amazing food,cocktails and service. Paul was very attentive and wanted to make sure that everything that we needed and wanted was delivered. I cannot express how fresh and amazing each item we got danced around our taste buds. We have decided that this was the best cream of crab soup that we have ever indulged in. And quite possibly this will be our go to restaurant when we come down to Ocean City. This makes an amazing day trip from Dover to have a beautiful meal on the boardwalk overlooking the water. We also had the house salad, a frozen cocktail, and of course, an orange crush! For the price, ambience, quality of food, and excellent service. I feel like our money was well spent this day. (We came back the following week with family. I was bragging about the floating crab meat on the soup. Unfortunately it depends on the chef if you will be treated like this. I just wanted to set up proper expectations in case you do not get the same chef.)”

“My experience at Sello’s from start to finish was top notch! The ambiance is very inviting with soft lighting & a classy interior design. I dined at the bar where Flip and Megan made our whole experience very enjoyable with their warm and attentive service. They recommended the wood-fired pizza, the Vespa, and a classic glass of Italian red wine. Simply delicious! My brother had the Linguine Fra Diavlo with succulent lobster tail and shrimp. It was outstanding. We finished out the evening with a velvety Tiramisu, and the Bianca Espresso Martini. Julian, the manager, stopped over to chat with us and made us feel like family.”

“The Tide Room at The Shore Beach Club: A Delightful Dining Experience Last evening, we had the pleasure of dining at The Tide Room at The Shore Beach Club in Ocean City, Maryland. Our reservation was for 8:15 PM, and despite potential parking challenges, we found it surprisingly easy to find a spot. The restaurant’s recent remodel is evident as you walk up the stairs into the inviting dining area. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted at the hostess stand and seated immediately. We appreciated the choice between indoor and outdoor seating, and the variety of seating options available, from semi-circle couches to large arrangements for bigger parties. Our server was attentive from the start, quickly providing us with water, drinks, and menus. After a brief look at the menu, we received a thorough rundown of the evening’s specials. The noise level was perfect, allowing for a pleasant conversation, and the open-air setting provided a comfortable breeze. For appetizers, we chose the crab dip and crab deviled eggs. While both were enjoyable, the crab deviled eggs stood out as the better of the two. I also tried a drink called “Lost in the South,” a refreshing blend of lemon and bourbon that became my favorite part of the evening. For the main course, I opted for the boardwalk fries with a crabcake, a dish labeled as an Eastern Shore Maryland specialty. It was served with tartar sauce and met my expectations with its classic flavors. To finish off the meal, we each selected different desserts. The restaurant’s take on the Maryland Smith Island cake, a cookies and cream version, was a delightful surprise and possibly even better than the traditional version. I highly recommend trying it if it’s available. Overall, The Tide Room offers a wonderful dining experience with excellent service, a comfortable atmosphere, and delicious food. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Ocean City.”
