    The rooftop bar is really nice. To have a cocktail and watch the sunset is perfect. If you get there early you can order a drink downstairs and bring it up. Lots of seating but get there early for the prime sunset seats.

    Caesar Salad with white anchovies
    Mary H.

    Nothing better than sitting out looking out over the ocean having dinner except having a great meal and we did last night here. Started with Caesar salad that was simply amazing. White anchovies, fresh home dressing, the cheese freshly grated, the salad practically melted in your mouth. I had the crab cakes. They were chocked full if fresh crab, light and delicious served with a guacamole salad. My friend had the fresh fish, it was off the chart delicious. Served with lobster hash and fresh asparagus. The server was attentive without being overbearing. Great ambiance, nice place to sit and relax.

    Pina colada
    Mystery R.

    Nice. Relax. Waterfront. Waiting to board on boat. Nice area. Friendly waiter Haven't try meal yet but will be back.

    Find Waldo, the Lobster in the Lobster Quesadilla
    Gabriel B.

    Food and drinks werent bad, and service was just ok. But the lobster quesadilla, which was highlighted in many reviews, was a great disappointment. One shouldnt expect an overstuffed lobster plate (for that, go to DJ Clam Shack), but 3 pitiful pieces in just one of the quesadillas is really a rip off. According to our waiter those are "measured" and "probably fell to one side while cutting". Pretty lame. For the final price tag, there at least a dozen other better options in town. Ps. If you are coming to watch the sunset, also a waste. The pier in front of the patio gets so packed you actually cant see anything. Its like paying front row seats to end up seating in the back. Not the restaurant's fault, of course, but buyer beware!

    Pasta Primavera
    Robert C.

    We had dinner here last night 7/16 for the sunset. The food and the service were fantastic. The atmosphere was great also. We had 2 orders of past primavera which was just delicious and an order of shrimp and lobster over linguini which was fantastic as well. For desert a slice of peanut butter pie & an espresso creme brûlée. Both were just superb 5 stars here. Well done all the way.

    Food was great. This place is not overpriced nor overwhelming as far as ambience. GREAT SERVICE makes this 4 stars. Average food at best

    Sunset on the way to the restaurant
    Lora C.

    Best advice, book a reservation in time to catch the sunset. People gather at the railing across from the restaurant to catch it. It's just like in Santorini when everyone breaks out in applause when the final sun sets below the horizon. The food and the service was fantastic. Bathrooms were okay. Would go back.

    Lemon garlic Mahi
    Letha M.

    Food Quality: DELICIOUS AND AMAZING. Overlooking the items I'll discuss below, it's worth the trip to visit for the food. My partner had the grouper and I had the Mahi- both were the star meals of our trip. SUNSET DISCLAIMER: I did a little research before I trip looking for a good place to have a sunset dinner, this place seemed to be it- so I made the reservation for an outside table well in advance. We were told that if you make reservations online, it's not for the extra patio that sits on the water side, and if we wanted a table in the direct waterside patio, I'd have to cancel my reservation at another host stand and come back and wait to try and be seated. We opted to still in our reserved table which was on the lower patio- I didn't know there was an upstairs. If you want to actually SEE THE SUNSET, you need to be on the water or upstairs, otherwise all you get is a wall of people blocking the view (as pictured). It was kind of upsetting, so ... now you know what to request. Overall, the fact that the food was extremely amazing and became the star of the evening saved the experience.

    Shrimp Linguine
    Amanda K.

    Ainor has impeccable service. Best views of the sunset. Food was a 10/10. Service 10/10. Lobster quesadilla and crab cakes for appetizers. Yummmmmy! We had chicken and shrimp and lobster linguine. Fresh ingredients! It was a flavor party in your mouth.

    K J.

    Can't get a better view! We went at sunset and it was breathtaking. The food was delicious and the service was good. Everything was cooked to perfection. Even the kids fish was really good. We almost passed on the key lime pie and glad we didn't because it is very amazing. Looking forward to returning soon.

    1/2 Bistro Chopped Salad
    Stacy P.

    We made reservations 2 weeks before going, definitely need reservations. Sat outside on the patio. Gorgeous view of the water and sunset. We split the chopped salad, very fresh! My tuna appetizer was fantastic and seared perfectly. The picture of the yellowtail did not do it justice. Stuffed with crabmeat, broccolini and potatoes on the side. Delicious. I would recommend this place for the view and beautiful plating of fantastic food!

    Kell M.

    I wanted to love this place but this fell really short for me. I had a Pina Colada to drink, the drinks are strong which is a plus I would say as a lot of restaurants skimp on it. For an appetizer, like typical Marylanders we ordered the crab cakes. Actually really enjoyed this dish and the guac that came garnished. For my main, I have the truffle crusted grouper. You couldn't take the truffle at all but the fish was very good and flaky. Overpriced for what it was however. The lobster hash was a miss, super greasy undercooked potatoes and very tough lobster. I did really love the green beans however. We considered dessert but were told there were no dessert menus since they had such few options, and that was true. It wasn't horrible but not great either.

    Leena J.

    Food was wonderful. We loved the lobster quesadillas and my entree was delicious. Service was terrible. Our server seemed super uninterested in us. Meh. The restaurant seemed nice. A little hard to locate at night. It looked nicer in pictures. They were closing up shop while we were still eating and they didn't close for at least another house and a half.

    Never had heard of this place, but it's basically across the street from my favorite bar The Roost…read more Found this place on yelp, and it turned out, it was less than a block from my hotel on Duvall, La Concha, autograph by Marriott. The place is very small and very packed, so I would advise to get there either early or filter to run for a later brunch. The space is pretty small, but it is really cute and the baked goods are insane and gone by 10 on a Friday. Fresh baked bread fresh pastries looked unbelievably good. They have a large selection of fresh maid smoothies, and juices made while you wait which is perfect for after a night of drinking! I saw some pictures on Yelp of the eggs Benedict and they have a full page devoted to different types of eggs Benedict. I decided on this smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was probably the best I've ever eaten in my life in any country. It was literally that outstanding!! The food comes out relatively fast although they're insanely busy and it's efficient.. It's not a place you lounge around with a lot of people - eat and get out, because there is a line waiting to be seated no matter what day what time. These servers really hustle too. This place is also known for its coffee which they have a lot of different varieties iced and hot and it's absolutely top-notch, pair that with some fresh baked goods and you've got yourself one hell of a start to your day. I've always loved Evelyn's for breakfast or Sarabeth's, but this place blew it away in my opinion and I've been coming here for 15 years for work. This is my absolute go to breakfast place for you yelpers if you're interested - I don't think you'll be disappointed!!

    The Lobster Benedict was wonderful and flavorful with the eggs poached perfectly. The Kokette eggs…read morewere very overcooked. In retrospect I should have asked them to be redone. Everything was so firm that I couldn't dip or spread anything onto the toast. We waited a pretty long time so maybe I was just too hungry to send these back! Green juice and orange juice were nice. We were originally say at a very very small "shelf" that would be fine for coffee but not for a meal. We moved to a table and that was much better.
