This is a charming restaurant aimed at a mature guest. The menu is somewhat limited but we were able to make a nice selection. The main portions are on the small side and not quite as tasty as we had hoped. We were left wanting more for the price and build up of this establishment.

Caroline's Table is a unique farm to table restaurant in the heart of the Eastern Shore. Chef Ken Zellers sources locally grown and harvested seafood, proteins and vegetables and works magic to elevate them into a memorable dining experience. The restaurant is housed in a historic building that has been lovingly restored. It was formally the town doctors house with his office in a small adjacent building. In addition to the main restaurant, THE SIDEBAR is located in the small building and serves up more casual fare including house made sourdough pizzas, fresh soups, salads and unique charcuterie boards. Reservations are encouraged for Caroline's Table and can be made by calling/texting the restaurant directly at 410-490-4495.

It was the first time that my friends and I had been to Libbey’s. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our server was friendly, checked on us just the right amount, and offered good suggestions on items for us to try. It was a cold, rainy day and the ambience in the restaurant was lovely and the view of the bay can’t be beaten. We will be back.

We had a great experience this weekend at Limoncello in St. Michaels. We had the seafood pasta and orecchiette with sausage. The restaurant is in a great location, the staff is very friendly, and the food quality is superb. It's definitely a mainstay.

My adult family of 6 went to 18Twenty the evening after Thanksgiving since my kids were in town. We wound up in a gorgeous private room since it wasn't crowded that evening. The entire Manor was lit up and decorated for Christmas and it was really beautiful and festive. Food was wonderful--from the fresh oysters to the rockfish to the steak tips special of the evening. Service was attentive and lovely. It really was a perfect night.
