Restaurants near Downs Memorial Park

We visit Choptank often. It is our "go to" restaurant when we host guests. It is wonderful that Marco the manager always remembers us. He sees the reservation name and visits the table. The servers are always in a good mood and you feel welcomed. Our visit on the day after Valentines still served the Valentine limited menu. There was plenty to chose from. We started with Oysters that were wonderful. The only flaw in the meal was the stuffed baked potato was too salty. It was cold and rainy outside but the vibe inside was cozy. Highly recommend.

My wife and I went for Valentine's Day and chose the 3 course special. The food was some of the best we have had for quite some time. Everything was perfectly prepared and tasted wonderful. Our server Jared was amazing and attentive without being obtrusive. He offered wonderful wine recommendations based on personal experience and offered the sommelier if we required. The ambience and music was at perfect volume to enjoy and still easily hold a conversation. We will be returning and requesting Jared again.

This was my first time here. Made Valentine’s Day reservations. We were seated immediately, seating was comfortable and we were seated next to a window by the patio which was cool because they had fires on the patio and it made where we were sitting more romantic. They went the extra mile and gave every woman a long stem nice quality rose. All the staff was super nice and helpful with suggestions. Neither of us have done “farm to table” before. They had many options that sounded good and we both had to choose and needed up getting the same thing. The food was great, I couldn’t eat it fast enough 😅 it was a bit pricey but that’s to be expected with the farm to table stuff I assume. Wasn’t so expensive though. We decided we want to go back and try other options soon. Also the interior design was gorgeous. Very cozy ambiance. I definitely recommend trying The Lodge at least once if you are in the Pasadena area. It’s right where green turtle used to be. I would like to thank The Lodge for their help in making our first Valentine’s Day date together a memorable experience

Dined for Valentine’s Day set menu. AMAZING!!! Did not feel like a typical Valentine’s Day restaurant production line - in and out ASAP to turn the tables over. Food was incredible. Plenty of time to enjoy the whole experience. Our server Alice was amazing.

The crab cakes were super—very friendly staff. We'll go back for sure!
