    The seafood dishes were good. We had the crab cakes and tuna. I would not recommend the wings (dry). This is a busy dinner time spot and raucous but the servers were very nice and helpful. So, go for the fun and crowd. The bathrooms were sketchy.

    Our server worked his tail off on one of the busiest days of the year! The boat parade. Our table location was great. A great evening.

    Really delightful experience. Just had appetizers and cocktails before we headed out for midnight madness, but will definitely come back again for lunch or dinner.

    All around it was a great experience. From the oyster starter to the beet salad and salmon entrees & sides. Perfect cocktails and service. Markia truly knows the menu and made excellent recommendations. Definitely will go back.

    We arrived early and were able to take advantage of happy hour specials. The Choptank oysters were great and the mussels were excellent. Happy hour wine by the glass were a nice accompaniment. Service was attentive and professional. This was a really great value! Highly recommended.
