Nice atmosphere, but the food took a minute. That said, the food was fine and we plan to return.
The food for lunch was good. We had a burger and flounder sandwich. I ordered an iced tea which was $3.00. I ordered two refills because the glasses were small and mostly ice. I was charged $9.00 for the 3 glasses. I have never been to a restaurant that charges for refills in tea or coffee. A bit surprised by that.
Maurice is a fantastic restaurant in Onancock. Great atmosphere, cocktails, and thoughtfully prepared food. We particularly love the sushi, which we have enjoyed in the main restaurant. Looking forward to visiting the separate sushi room at the rear of the property.
Amazing!! The best food I have ever had on the Eastern Shore!!!! Highly recommended!!! The Seafood Paella is Spectacular and so was the Beets and Heirloom Salad!!!
Always great food
Really great food and very well seasoned. Definitely would repeat
My favorite place on the shore!
Lovely dinner here with my Dad, Dr. James C Kauer and my husband, 9-7-2021, really enjoyed our time. Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner.
Disappointed when server was going over daily specials with table next to us and had not shared any with us before we ordered. Slow service, never came back to see if we needed anything after meals were served. Dress for wait staff was too sloppy for this atmosphere. Food fantastic!

My favorite restaurant on the Eastern Shore. Onancock has great restaurants but this one is my favorite. Love love love everything I’ve tried but especially their burger, filet mignon French dip, and Poke bowl.
The atmosphere was crowded and loud. My fish was so overcooked it was hard, and my wife's steak was barely seared despite requesting it medium done. The rice was supposed to be a risotto but was dry and clumpy. And the saffron seasoning was so overwhelming I couldn't stomach finishing my meal. The price I paid for disappointment was very high. I didn't complain to the staff. I just wanted to leave.

The reservation was for "Deek", at 6:30, and I paid cash. The staff never stopped to ask how our meal was. I had to flag down the dude to ask for my check. I would've rather had the girl bussing tables wait on us. At least she was elegant in her black evening gown. The place was full during our meal. I guess when 25+ people are seated in what can only be described as a modified sunroom measuring approximately 15'x25', it might get loud. The staff and guests seemed to have a hard time maneuvering between the seated patrons. The host that greeted us interrupted our appetizer to flip a light switch behind our table. The croquette and charcuterie board appetizer was delicious with the blueberry dijon despite the croquette being one roll split in half between two people. It's hard to mess up a charcuterie board even if half of the blueberries and strawberries were long past their prime. I know what saffron is. I've used it many times cooking at home. It's supposed to deliver a light, floral/earthy flavor. Not taste like a well trekked rug. The stuffed flounder was very dark on the bottom and crispy on the bits that flared off the bottom. Maybe it was forgotten in the cooker. There were a lot of patrons dining that evening. Risotto is supposed to be lightly creamy and savory. Not stick to the bottom of the fork when pressed. And slaw is typically made with cabbage. What I was served seemed like shredded strips of old bokchoi stems and bruised mango. A medium done steak should be pink inside but not bloody enough to fill the plate with a red au jus. The 2" thick strip only had a quarter inch of sear on each side. That's very rare, not medium. And the parking is so cramped, I was blocked in by another patron waiting to park when we left because they had nowhere they could move to. They had to back out of the lot so that we could get out.
I "took the time" to leave a review here because I was prompted by Google during my leisure. I've also worked extensively in food service and know the potential results of complaining about the food. Especially at a "nose in the air" establishment. Nobody appreciates the criticism and, more often than not, it's met with disdain. I normally leave my plate spotless, but that evening, I left most of the risotto and all of the "slaw" on the dish. That should've been indication enough that I was displeased.
The place does have potential. Perhaps the staff was overwhelmed given the volume of patrons. Perhaps another dish may have been more appealing to my palette. Regardless, what I experienced was rather pretentious. And to be met with a dismissive reply by the owner was just salt in the wound.

A wide variety of well prepared food, probably the best I eaten on the Eastern Shore. There is something for everyone. The service was a little slow but knowledgeable and gracious. The price was reasonable and the portions were perfect. I will definitely return!
