[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant inside is set up really nice. Even has coffee style tables to sit at. Outside seating is very nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Food was very good. Yelp recommended crab cream soup loaded with crab. Lobster roll was good but $38. Market price. Pork belly special was good. Shrimp with Korean sauce lettuce wrap was very good Service was excellent read more

Make "Capsize" your spot in Oxford ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]With few places to choose from here in Oxford, this is easily one of the nicest spots. A real casual vibe, great to sit outside on sunny days or early evening sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the smash burger ($18) based on a recommendation from our server. It included two smash burgers with cheddar cheese, bacon, Lettuce, tomato, onions and a special sauce. On a brioche bun. Also included fries or chips. The fries that I had were perfectly made, nicely seasoned and crispy just how I liked them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sit indoor or out on the open deck that sits about 100 people or at the covered bar. Bar sits another 15 to 25.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was such a great day to be outside! I didn't get a view of the interior. Super friendly, attentive staff and service (great job Connor). Parking has a private parking lot as well as dock spaces for you to pull up on your boat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And they are also dog friendly. :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would totally recommend the spot when you come to Oxford, Maryland. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Came to check out Oxford for the afternoon while staying at St Michael's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped here for a delicious, waterside lunch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sat on the deck out back and had shrimp tacos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Finally! I've found a shrimp taco where I don't have to go searching for the shrimp! Each taco came with 3 large pieces of shrimp on a bed of coleslaw/cabbage topped with a tasty sauce. Great service by Conner! Thank you! read more

Beautiful day here on the eastern shore of Maryland and a very nice lunch for the four of us. We came by boat and it's always been easy to find a place to tie up to at capsize. We opted to eat at their outdoor deck as it was a beautiful day. We shared an order of onion rings that were very good and while I don't think they were homemade they were cooked perfectly and hit the spot. Wife and I split a chicken salad wrap and our two friends each had the shrimp salad wrap. The chicken salad is especially good and while both our friends enjoyed the shrimp salad I don't think it is quite as good as the chicken salad. Each one of those can very easily be shared especially if you have onion rings as an appetizer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]there were very few people when we arrived just before noon but by the time we left the outdoor deck was filling up nicely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We need to branch out on our selections and try some different things as all the food we saw coming out looked very very nice, everything from crab cake to softshell crabs two various salads. Our waitress was very attentive and kept our glasses filled. Looking forward to getting back there a few more times before they close for the season and we will definitely try some other options read more

Great eatery on the water in Oxford. Many boats dock in that area and passengers stop over for lunch or dinner. The place has not just location going for them but also ambiance and food. The interior is airy and has a nautical theme. The patio is very relaxing and overlooks the bay. We opted to dine outdoors. I had the fish and chips, made with rockfish in a light beer batter. The fish was fresh, the portion was generous. The chips that accompanied the dish were regular fries (no malt vinegar) but still very good. My companion liked his rockfish platter. Will be back during the summer again! read more

The Caesar salad was very good. So was the crab dip, but the cream of crab was bad. It had a weird consistency and did not taste good at all. read more

It wasn't really anything to write home about. It's your typical boating restaurant with average food. What frustrated me was that I asked the market price of the crab cake entree, then talked with the waitress for a minute more and forgot to follow up on the price. She also did not loop back and let me know. I was genuinely shocked when I got the bill. One crab entree was $60.00. This price is absurd. Shame on me for not following up and shame on them for charging this much. Not worth it and won't be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great waterfront setting with a large outdoor bar & deck & indoor area nice too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good menu choices - we enjoyed everything we ordered. Would recommend & will return when in the area. Service was friendly & efficient too. read more

We walked in with no reservation on Mother's Day and received such great service from not only our waitress but also the hostess. Food was yummy! read more

Service seems to have taken a dive recently. We have eaten here a few times; while the kitchen was never the fastest, it was within reason. However, on our most recent trip, it took 90 minutes before a small plate of appetizers were served and then another 30 minutes for the main dishes to come. The worst part was that the food tasted like they've been under the heat lamp for a long time. Our waitress was mildly apologetic but did nothing to remedy it. A mid-management employee even gave us the stink eyes for voicing our unhappiness. After repeated complaints, a manager finally came and comped us for the meal. Reading some other recent reviews, it seems like this is not a one-off mistake. I'm disappointed that this place has declined because it used to be a charming spot. read more

Went in on a whim for Saturday dinner. Not crowded at all. We were seated immediately. Our server was very friend and polite. The drinks, though a tad pricey for me, we're large and quit strong! The food came out quickly and in order, with just enough time for us to finish our appetizers. I had the fish and ships (chips), and it was AMAZING! The piece of fish was bigger than my hand and barely fit on the plate. The breading was authentic, and not burnt. The fish itself was flaky and smooth, not overly fishy and melted in my mouth. My other half had the swordfish and raved about how it was perfect, and we'll paired with a vegetable side. After we ate, we weren't held hostage for the check, as our friendly server was also quite efficient. Definitely a nice date night dinner spot, and you can go around the corner for ice cream after! read more

Not as good as it used to be. Rockfish Tacos 2 very small - charging for side that used to come with the larger potion tacos. Tuna sandwich husband liked. Would have ordered baked oysters but potion of 4 for price was not worthy. Sorry to see increased price with smaller potions- one or the other but both... not a good value. Service was good but kitchen very slow- not terribly busy.., will think twice before coming again/ used to be regular ..... Inside was ok because it was raining read more

We stopped here for lunch a couple of days ago. Great spot on the water and they are dog friendly outside. I had the fish and chips. It was advertised as rockfish, but it definitely seemed like cod. I didn't bother asking about it because it was still good. My husband got the monte cristo sandwich and he liked it even though they forgot the powdered sugar. I tried and it wasn't for me. We will definitely come back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance sitting on the pier adjacent to the harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the service was untrained. They need to help their servers understand the food industry. The food was OK. read more

Took 1 1/2 hours to get terrible food!! Very disorganized restaurant. Really bad experience

Wow it has been awhile since we came back here. The service was perfect and the food and drinks were very well made . We will be back again. I was surpised at the improvements in service and food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a shame that they close so early in the fall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I truly beleive if they tried entertainment and more adverstisement they would be as successful as Doc's. They deserve to thrive. Jeff read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely outside area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the special cold watermelon soup- had a fizzy consistency and didn't taste very much like watermelon. The shrimp salad wrap was lacking shrimp salad. The fried oysters were delicious. The tuna and watermelon salad was good but hardly any tuna. The food is on the pricey side so I would expect better portions and taste. read more

The food was excellent with enough variety to satisfy most pallets. While some of our group thought the fish taco portion was a litt the rockfish with bernaise sauce and I loved the sesame encrusted ahi tuna. Both were delicious!! The one thing that felt a bit off was the service was a bit slow. However, that could have resulted from the bar tender or kitchen. The outstanding view of the harbor more than made up for that. read more

Great COVID dining spot with outdoor dining and well spaced tables and QR code menus. They enforce the COVID policies, like 6 people to a table, which is good. They clean the chairs in between seatings but for some reason not the armrests on the day we were there. There is lots of shade for those looking to stay out of the sun. Everything on the menu we tried was good, and a decent amount of gluten free options or substitutions. Dog friendly outdoor dining. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. Steaks are amazing. And the atmosphere is 2nd to none. Highly recommend this place.

This is a nice little outdoor restaurant (has indoor seating as well) that sits right on the waterfront. We ate outdoors on the dock, which is a very relaxing setting. I ordered the creamy seafood chowder (crab and corn) which was excellent! My daughter got the fish and chips which was also very good. Our server was a sweet girl who did a good job taking care of us! Overall, 4.25 for this location, GREAT location, quiet, boats all around, waterfront, and very relaxing. If you're ever visiting Oxford check out out this restaurant! It's walking distance from Oxford park and the strand. read more

Oxford Maryland only has so many restaurants. This one was the worst one and most expensive. Our au gratin potatoes were burnt with an odd flavor of cheeses. The spinach had long stems, was not cooked long enough, and sautéed in what seemed like olive oil. The burger was alright but a basic burger and expensive for exactly that. Our drinks were terrible. I do not know if it is season, but the restaurant does not open until 5pm. The restaurant faces east, so there is no sunset. read more

We arrived by boat at Capsize at 7 pm. We tied up, went in and we're told they had run out of food and we're closing. Really??? We left, went to Docs and had a very nice meal. Ridiculous. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty setting and ok service but really terrible salmon poke bowl.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No flavor at all. White rice sprinkled with some carrot sticks that you buy at the market for $1.50 and cooked bland salmon (I asked for it cooked). No teriyaki and just a lot of bland nothing. Really bad. read more

The Food that We paid for: OK. The Crab Corn Soup had been burnt in the Pot. This Cook would have attempt to save the Soup the same. The Fish in the Fish and Ship was cooked to Perfection! The dough wrapper, discarded. The FRIES! AWESOME! The dinner beverage: Ice Tea? Weak. The Ice melted and watered the Tea. Emily: YAY! Her Service was mentionable. I told Her that I would. read more

Lunch, 1pm, Wednesday, May 25, 2023 Disappointed! Average food, expensive, Burger (average) & chicken Salad sandwich (the chicken barely slowed down when when passing by the mixing bowl), and two cokes - $55.27 + tip. $2.95 for 6oz coke, no free refills Average service Not the same place as we used to enjoy We won't be back in the near future. read more

We stopped by for lunch by boat on July 12, 2023. In past years, this was one of our favorite restaurants to take guests; however, this time we were really disappointed. The menu has changed and we don't think it is nearly as good. I finally settled on the Reuben sandwich and it was really subpar. The corned beef was really tough and fatty (see photo). I took half the sandwich home and tried to "defat" it the next day but there wasn't much left of the corned beef when I finished. Two of our party had the gazpacho and said it was very good. One of our party had filet oscar and commented that it did not appear to have any crab meat on top. Service was adequate. I have since heard that they have a new chef so perhaps this would explain the situation. We are not anxious to return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great setting, and we come here at least once a year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not sure what has happened, but the last two visits have been very disappointing. Mediocre service (I'd rather have the server remember to bring us water and tell us about the specials than hear about her f-bomb laden stories about spring break). Seafood was clearly from a frozen bag, as was the corn and lima bean succotash. read more

This place was one of the highlights of our trip. Staying in St Michaels requiring a quick ferry ride over. Restaurant sits with a great view, right on the water. Place has beautiful decor, huge lounge space to grab drinks before dinner both inside and outside. Service was good, although it took a while for server to come over, I'm hoping this was an outlier, because for rest of meal our waitress was very attentive. Lobster roll was crazy good! Comes on two buns, filled with claw meat, light on mayo (New England style), and piled high with fries. We both ate every bite. Can't wait to return to try other stuff on menu. After dinner don't forget to go to the other side of the restaurant and visit the Scottish creamery with awesome ice cream. read more

This used to be my favorite place to go in Oxford - sadly, that is no longer the case. They're under new management with a new chef who has completely ruined the menu. Staple menu items are gone, food quality is down and the service is slow. The worst mistake made was changing their fish and chips recipe. They also removed crab dip from their menu - I don't understand how that's remotely possible for a Maryland restaurant - especially one on the water. I don't see a reason for me to go back. read more

This is a review of Capsize after eating there the night of 6-21-22, a night that I'm sure will live in infamy. Short version: this place completely imploded before our eyes and the two stars are only because two of the staff members were valiantly trying to keep the place running; otherwise it would be zero. Longer version is that we were waiting at the bar for our table when it became obvious that the head bartender had been made general manager for the night and was NOT happy about it: the kitchen was a disaster and he was out of some pretty basic liquors. 20 min later we were seated, and 30 minutes after that , we had to go to the hostess station to say we had yet to see a waiter. Then began the long parade of we-have-that-oh-nevermind-we're-out-of-that. It started with a general declaration that they were out of crab cakes, fries, and bison burgers. It then became a never ending sequence: "How about the mahi mahi special?" "Yes we have that ... [5 min later ] No, we're out of that." "Do you have a side of green beans?" "Yes, we have that ...No, we're out of that." "Seafood gumbo?" [Same thing.] Even basics like rice or grits were a Yes ... then No. (Eventually, miraculously, and highly amusingly, we eventually did eat: three mediocre orders of shrimp tacos, a passable order of "crab balls" appetizers, and two salads that seemed to have been kicked or juggled into their bowls. Luckily at that point we were just there for the show.) Meanwhile, we had plenty of time to observe that the place was being run by fourteen-year-olds with no experience and no clue. Hostesses, busboys and busgirls, and most of the wait staff were all teenagers. I kinda wished that we could have seen what was really going on in the kitchen: Whether it was just chaos, teenagers running amok, or a full complement of I-don't-give-a-&@!*. Probably all three. The two experienced-looking staff -- the bitter bartender and our tall, ponytailed waiter -- both declared they were quitting after that night and _because of_ that night. Apparently one of them had been working there six years. Whatever the outcome, they both deserve medals for getting through this longest day ever. I imagine that the entire kitchen staff has quit ... or maybe they had already quit mid shift. Go to this restaurant if there's a banner saying "Under New Management." Right now it's under NO Management. I only wish there were some maritime metaphor for how this restaurant is run ... aground? ... adrift? rudderless? Oh wait, it's right there in the name! CAPSIZED!!! read more

Been coming here every Tuesday since they opened That may change. If you are a party of 2 they seat you at a high top when there are tables set for six totally empty. Way to lose loyal customers. No parties of six anywhere outside. read more

One star for the staff trying to make this work. Needless to say, 2 hours in half of our party received a portion of what they ordered. The other half of our party was never served any of the food ordered. Every 30 minutes or so, "we're out of this and that". Then we decided to eat something from the ice cream place at round the building because we were starving and they were out of everything we ordered. (showed up at 7:06 still no food at 9 pm". No managers anywhere to help the poor kitchen and wait staff who had to face the customers. Bad form managers, bad form. read more

Two bad experiences here. Pleasant and overworked staff. We won't go back. Sorry..

Great setting. Staff was friendly Food was ok, not excellent. We both had the Rockfish fish tacos and some apps. I would go back for the setting. Was nice being on the water eating outside in a lively setting. Can overlook mediocre food for the setting. read more

Love this restaurant. Great, fresh food in a spectacular location! I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Talbot County.

Our experience was not good. We arrived for lunch at 1:00pm. The waitress let us know after an hour that a chef had walked off the job and it would be another 30 minutes before we would get our food. When it finally arrived - everything was cold. The waitress was accommodating and took of some of our meals off the bill but overall we were extremely disappointed. read more
