“From the moment we walked in, the hospitality from Louis and her team made us feel genuinely welcome, she’s not only a wonderful host but clearly the heart of this incredible place and the foundation behind it. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of soul.

The food was phenomenal! My prosciutto-wrapped scallops were cooked to absolute perfection, and every flavor on the plate felt intentional and beautifully balanced.

The live music was the highlight of the evening — a talented father-and-son duo, with the father on saxophone and the son on bass, created magic together. Their chemistry and musicianship brought such joy and energy to the room.

It’s rare to find a spot where the food, music, and people all align so perfectly! The Jazz Corner absolutely nailed it. We’ll be back every chance we get.“

“Food is great! My husband and I visit every time we are at HHI. Their clams strips are the best we have EVER had. The hush puppies are delicious as well. This visit I tried their crab cake from the waiters suggestion. It was this "Marylander" approved! Thanks Rich for the recommendation and great service! See you on the next visit.“

“We had a few nice meals here while staying at the Omni. The food is nothing too special but it works if you don’t want to leave the resort. Pretty much any drink you get is $15-18 which is wild for just a mojito or standard daiquiri.

The one time we sat there and ate, a really nice gentleman served us and when he brought our check let us know it said Hannah because she was supposed to be our server. We literally never even saw her so we just tipped him cash. It didn’t seem right.“

“My wife and I came in late and it was still open. We were seated quickly. Seating was quaint and comfortable. Server was prompt and nice. When the food came they forgot to give us silverware and had to track down a waiter. I ordered the Cuban sandwich which was to have smoked ham, pork belly, pickles, and spicy mustard with melted swiss cheese. My sandwich had a small slice of ham, and more cheese then meat and that's all....it was a snack for a child at best. My wife had the Shrimp and grits this meal was dinner size and was exactly as described and was delicious...I tried asking about my sandwich and was told it was correct though the server had a hard time understanding what I was trying to ask.“
