Our first experience here was great! We enjoyed the 3 Course Dinner Menu. We ordered the arugula & goat cheese salad 😋 roasted beet salad and Maryland Crab soup. All were tasty. 1st meal choice: Ocean & Gulf. I made a modification to the vegetable and chose Brussel sprouts instead. 2nd meal choice: Single Crab Cake. The 3rd meal choice: Chicken Francaise. All of the meals were delicious. The key lime pie was also delicious. Great atmosphere and service. I would recommend this place and will dine here again.

Was seated right away even tho I was early and part of my party wasn’t there. Great service. Greeted promptly. Everyone was friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed, inviting. This is our second time going for Christmas Eve and will definitely be back to be able to sit outside in the warmer months. Food was delicious and inventive. Loved the hand crafted drinks. All in all a great experience.
