My salmon was a little overdone, but I take responsibility for that as I didn't specify medium rare and it was well done.

- JJenniferWashington, D.C. Area •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 28, 2024We went for Thanksgiving and everyone was so nice and kind! The food was delicious! We weren’t physically able to eat enough food for the price of each plate especially with the kid that eats like a toddler. Next time I will see if we can choose toddler for the ten year old lol. He did love everything but just nibbled as kids do sometimes. But I guess it was worth it since the husband played some slots and won enough to cover the bill! But everyone was absolutely amazing! So nice and helpful.More infoRod 'N' ReelPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Chesapeake Beach•3.8
