Great service at the bar. I'll return here every time I come to the area. Great daily specials for food and drinks. Make friends with the bartender, it'll serve you well, I promise.

Their oysters are fresh and delicious. I recommend the Maryland crab cake. It's ALL meat and they serve you two cakes. The salad that comes along with it is delicious as well.

The large crabs had the weight and size of medium crabs. The chicken quesadilla was nothing to rave aboit and the ceabs had more flavor to me than the crab flat bread. Great service.

Great service, the lobster ravioli were fabulous. Crab cakes are also pretty good. The bisque, not so much. Pretty good experience.

Get the sauteed green beans - delicious. Pair it with the peel and eat shrimp and your set.

Tuna tartar and crabs were amazing! I wanted to lick the plate. Basil melon crush cocktail was also very good.

Despite probably being of the frozen variety, the black bean burger with mango sauce is delicious. Skip the nachos- the first ingredient appeared to be salt.

You have got to try the Old Bay Wings! Umm, umm!

Service is good. Fish tacos are meh. Chicken tacos are fantastic. Nachos are not your average bar nachos, they're better. We keep coming back, so it can't be that bad!

The fish tacos are damn good. And they play good tunes :)
David DayAugust 21, 2016
Nice food, friendly attentive service.

Chicken Tacos look good; lack flavor. Crab Bisque lacks crab. Mahi Tacos; not seasoned. Food came out at different times. Meh to the whole experience.

Bar tenders were awesome. Gorgonzola stuffed olives and live music.

Worst crab mac and cheese in Baltimore.... It should be illegal to call this "crab" Mac and cheese! It's mac and cheese. There is no crab!
