They had to move up our reservation by half an hr., but that was no issue & we didn't mind at all. I think a lot of the personal touches of being catered to made a difference, as well as the fact we were more than customers - felt more like friends. The lobster Rangoon's are a bit pricey ($6/ea.) BUT SO WORTH IT - I highly recommend this! The filling is INSANE. Crunchy outside with an awesome dipping sauce. They're large so I think next time I will order (2) with a side salad for a meal. Courtney was a very humorous, kind server that came by at appropriate times to check on us. Not sure of the hostess's name but she was lovely & brought us silverware when we requested. I believe that either a general manager or owner came over to check on us which was a nice touch. If you share the Pier Platter, note that there is a $5 'surcharge' to split where you allegedly get 'more sides' - I don't think that is necessarily true but boy, it's beyond delicious. There were (2) small dipping sauce cups of coleslaw on each plate, as well as waffle fries. One thing that knocked down a star is that the haddock seemed to be skimpy, possibly frozen. Flavor was great, but it was almost like a fish stick. In the past, we'd share a platter & received a large piece of fresh fried haddock. In summary, we love Shibley's & would never give up on going here. Reservations are highly suggested! :)

We stopped here around 2:00 in the afternoon with four of us, and our plan was pretty simple. We…read morehad other things to do shortly afterward, so we weren't looking to have lunch or spend a long afternoon at the restaurant. We just wanted to sit somewhere nice, have a couple of cocktails and enjoy the waterfront for a little while. When we arrived, we were greeted by two very friendly women, and we immediately explained that we weren't there to eat, but just wanted to have a couple of drinks. No problem at all. One of them walked us out to the back patio overlooking the water, and since we were the only people out there, it seemed like a perfect spot. The outdoor seating is really nice, and on a beautiful day I can completely understand why people want to sit outside. A few minutes later, our waitress came over and took our drink orders. Everything was fine until she realized we weren't ordering food. She then told us that we really shouldn't be sitting on the patio because those tables are generally reserved for customers who are eating and want to enjoy the view. That was a little awkward, particularly because we had specifically told the hostess when we arrived that we weren't eating, and she was the one who seated us outside. We're professionals and weren't about to make an argument over a patio table, so I simply explained that we had told the hostess that and that she had brought us out there anyway. The response was essentially, "I don't know if that's true," and she started to walk away. That part didn't sit particularly well with me. There was no reason for the situation to become uncomfortable when it was clearly just a misunderstanding between the front and back of the house. Rather than make a thing out of it, I said, "Look, I'll have an order of fries too." A few minutes later, the hostess came back out and handled the situation much better. She told us not to worry about it, that we could stay where we were and that we should just forget about the whole thing. She also asked if I still wanted the fries because she understood exactly why I'd ordered them. I appreciated that. I canceled the fries, we stayed on the patio, and the issue was effectively resolved. Once that little misunderstanding was behind us, we had a nice time. The atmosphere was relaxed, the outdoor seating is excellent, and being right on the water makes this a very pleasant place to have a drink. Our cocktails were also very good, and that's really what we came for in the first place. So I'm landing somewhere in the middle with this visit. The location and patio are great, the drinks were good, and the hostess ultimately did the right thing and resolved what was clearly a communication problem. The interaction with the waitress, however, left us feeling a little awkward and could have been handled much more gracefully from the beginning. That said, I'm not writing the place off. We enjoyed ourselves once everything was sorted out, and I'd be willing to give it another try. Hopefully next time we'll have a smoother experience from the moment we walk through the door.

Who would have thought for a busy night before 4pm on a Saturday in the summer? Shouldn't be…read moreshocked with the popularity of Patrick's. The staff seemed frantic but they were working very promptly to make sure customers could be seated. I was told that our party of 2 would be about 15-20 mins. They took my phone # to add to the waitlist. The wait was more like 6 or 7 mins. We were seated in the bar area at the booths. The bar is somewhat loud but it was still average. It's nice that they can accommodate parties of 2 so easily. There were several large groups, primarily families so it's certainly kid-friendly. They serve up some of the BEST fries! I suggest the O'Crabby Patty. It is on the heavy side with caramelized onions but wow is it packed with flavor. I will be getting that again for sure!

We were there for the promise of a fantastic breakfast. The menu is manageable, lots of choices~all pitstop themed~ but not so many that it was a chore to choose. I decided on a 3 egg swiss and mushroom omelette. It was explained that toast was extra, which isn't the norm, at least in my experience. But I dove in and ordered Rye. My Son ordered 2eggs over easy, the potatoes (not the deep fried version), bacon, ham, sausage and 2 pancakes. This breakfast seemed to include a toast option, for those who are keeping score. The food was spectacular. Very well done, simply, and with no frills save for a killer playlist that included Bittersweet Symphony. You don't often find yourself sitting at a counter, eating breakfast with special toast and hear The Verve. Worth a mention. The service was crisp, thorough and we did get a lovely smile and thank you as we checked out. But at the end of it all, the food is, or should be the star. And it was.

Morrissey's is a vibe: you know when you enter a restaurant in a small town and you can sense all…read moreof the generations of history it holds? Yeah, that's the kinda spot Morrissey's is. This is a community favorite and for good reason: the seafood is exceptionally cooked and the classic lakeside, vintage feel is approachable and still well maintained. This trip, we went to Morrissey's three times for lunch/ice cream and once for dinner. For dinner, we sat in the main dining room. Admittedly, service was a bit slower than some people liked in our party (but I was okay with waiting for it, I'm on lake time!) that was the only qualm we had at dinner was how the service was slow because they are obviously understaffed. When we came for lunch with a smaller party, we decided to sit at the bar instead which is on the other side of the building and more of a dive bar feel: an Irish pub. All of the meals were great, but we preferred sitting in the bar and got much faster service there during our lunch. Of all of the food we've tried, my favorites were the fried scallop and the Cajun shrimp bruschetta. And the Mac and cheese was yummy! But everything has tasted great! And you can't go wrong with some ice cream! Make a reservation if you're planning on doing dinner, but expect a slower pace. So maybe have a snack or don't come starving and know it will be a little slower. But worth the wait in my opinion! Or sit at the bar if you're okay with music and a little bit of a louder environment during your meal with your party.

We were able to park close by and get in before the big crowd. Barley seems like a happening place. An upscale Irish Pub, for sure! The set up is a bar with a decent amount of restaurant booth seating. Of course, there were tables of different sizes available, as well. We were given a 10 minute wait after meeting with the Hostess. There was alot of activity around the bar and lots of drinks coming out of the bar well....always a good sign! When our time was up, we were quickly escorted to our table. We were each given a menu and a drink menu. Lots to choose from on both menus (see the pic below) I ordered the chicken sandwich with caramelized onions and my son ordered a Chicken Pot Pie. He had a beer and we both had water with a lemon. The food came rather quickly. I was immediately taken back when the caramelized onion was not on my sandwich. I was going to ask the waittress to fix it but it was far to busy and it was not a big deal. Of course, I would have enjoyed the onion but "no big deal". My son's Chicken Pot Pie was a good size and was thrilled with it. We both ate everything on our plates. Our waitress checked in with us a few times to refill, which was nice and came to take the plates away after we were finished. We did not get any dessert. To be honest, we did not see a lot of dessert plates coming to other tables, either. We were thinking maybe people leave to get ice cream at one of the nearby establishments. 5-Stars Price: Fair Parking: plenty near by Vibe: perfect...I would like to watch a game, someday, at the bar Pepsi/Coke: Coke Would I come again?

Everything our party of four ordered was a disappointment, starting with an ice-tea cocktail that was undrinkable-- our nice waitress took it off the bill. My grilled salmon on a bed of rice arrived as dry as the Sahara, surrounded by burnt roasted carrots -- at least I think that's what they were. My husband's steak he ordered medium rare was also way overdone, served a block of with cold mashed potatoes. The overly sweet Apple Pumpkin Bisque (for $9) went uneaten after each of us tried a spoonful -- it was more like a bowl of pie filling than soup. Even the dessert, bread pudding with some whipped cream, was gloppy and unappetizing. This is a great place to go if you are fasting.

I had asked her if the home fries or hash browns were more popular, and she had a pretty short/rude response back! Although she seemed to warm up to our party by the time we left and it was time to leave a tip, she didn't come by much to see if we needed any refills! We tried to get her attention to get a coffee refill, and it was hard to get more! I think we ended up having someone go up to the counter to ask because it was so hard to get her attention! Overall, it was a pretty good experience! I normally don't get too worked up about the service not being the best, but she was pretty rude to us! I think I would come back but the service is really the only "bad" thing I have to say about the Olde Bay Diner if that's something that would bother someone! I would also caution against bringing a large party here! They would probably try to stick you at the bar which isn't the most comfortable!
