    In our review: Our first course, cups of cream of crab and Maryland crab soups swirled together, warmed us even more than the fire. Read more: http://bsun.md/SBwSgV

    Great service, food, and of course view! Waterfront dining with a large deck and plenty of picnic tables down below!

    In our review: The swirled crab soup is "brilliant: a spicy, creamy, crabby stew that is eminently satisfying." Read more: http://bsun.md/SBwSgU

    Sorry, was not impressed-service was wonderful. Ok for lunch or weekend casual dinner but not for any fancy occasion. Limited menu. Crab pretzel good. Heavy mustard in crab cakes. View is phenomenal.

    Watch your bill when they bring it. Went for breakfast buffet. Server only served us drinks and added 25% tip to the bill. The receipt said tip not included. Food was good, service was spotty!
