We were a group of 4 who came for dinner and were lucky with the weather. It was warm enough to sit outside. Outdoor dining terrace offered wonderful views of the water and sunset. This created a wonderful ambiance for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our friendship.

Both experiences I’ve had here have been amazing. The restaurant itself is very clean and has amazing views of the Chesapeake Bay. Both waiters I had (Sydney and David) had exceptional customer service!! I highly recommend this place to others. The Crab Cakes, Chesapeake Mac & Cheese, Hush Puppies and Fried Green Tomato BLT is delicious!

Great food and service ask to sit upstairs the view is better 🙌

Went for an early Sunday dinner around 6 pm. This is essentially a sports bar with monitors showing games, a great menu, and a large bar area in an octagon shaped building with water views. We had the charcuterie board, oysters on the half shell, mussels in spicy beer, and a salad. Food and service were excellent! The kitchen is open until 10 pm so is a good option for late evening meals as well. I will be back!

We ended up eating here on a whim and are so glad we did! The food and drinks were incredibly delicious, the atmosphere was on point, and the staff were all great. The crab fries and rose sangria were everything I needed! 😋

Great place! Our friend Bernadette took us here when visiting from Texas. The staff was super accommodating and the food was amazing.

Excellent food! My first experience with fried green tomatoes( being from MA)! And Nisa was FABULOUS! She tended to our party of 13 with patience and grace!! Great job Nisa!

We had an awesome experience celebrating our loved ones' birthday! The staff was very nice and friendly. It was a beautiful setting and clean all throughout! We all enjoyed ourselves!!

Such a great addition to Chesapeake Beach. Food, view....we've arrived. Been going back here for the Ahi tuna and crab ball small plates, which are also excellent. Bottle beers are iced cold too. And oysters are the biggest, plumpest sweetest in town

Great newly redone multi story restaurant in a cool octagonal size and shape reminiscent of an old lighthouse. Lots of TVs, water views, sunset views, and a great food and beverage program make this a place to visit any time of day. Friendly staff, and attentive! Will be swinging back out to Chesapeake beach soon just to visit for a beer and a sunset.

Came here for drinks, and there was an astounding amount of parking in the parking garage. The views are incredible and the ambience is very well lit and very clean. The drinks are amazing! We did not eat, but the menu looks incredible.

An amazing experience great location, great food. I loved their wings and salmon. The restaurant is nicely lit up.

Fun atmosphere, great service and delicious food with a wide variety of choices at reasonable prices. My family & I had a very nice time visiting the restaurant. Excellent crab cakes, huge shrimp & incredibly delicious Chesapeake Mac & Cheese were our favorites. Oh yeah, Crabby Fries were an amazing start! The views were beautiful and the boys liked the boats in the harbor.

The food was great. The lady that waited on me was so wonderful I will be back. I loved it so much that the service was
wonderful

I was a little skeptical when I entered this establishment through the parking garage but once inside it was a great experience! The views of the Bay are amazing and the food was delicious! The crabby fries are highly recommendes! They also have very fun non-alcoholic kid drinks!

We sat at the bar because it was so busy! The bartender, Erin, was so efficient and sweet. You could tell this wasn't her first time bartending. Everyone was welcoming and kind. The food was pretty good. I had the Greek Flatbread. I wish it wasn't folded over, but it was still delicious. My husband enjoyed a couple of cold beers that were on draft.

Really good local eats! Our first time here, and we shall definitely return. Crab cake was fantastic.

Quickly becoming one of our favorite local spots!! Food is terrific and so is the service. Baylee and David are excellent servers!
