Emma provided very good service. Decided on sharing appetizers as we weren't very hungry. Originally ordered their brisket sliders, but they were out of them, so went for the back up, mozzarella cheese fried in a vodka sauce. To me they were so, so. May have been frozen. Spouse thought they were ok. Brussels sprouts in hot honey and bacon was good. Wouldn't run back, as we drove for a car ride 45 minutes and there are better places along the way. Nice restaurant that is part of an Inn. Unfortunately outside seating was shut down, we think for wind. read more

Since Rob Jester became head chef at the Kitty, this restaurant has become a hidden gem on the Sassafras. The food is delicious and exudes quality. Every meal I have tried--from appetizers to entrees--has been spot-on. The service is decent. The views from the bar looking below at the harbor are spectacular. Although pricing is on the higher side, your tastebuds will thank you. read more

The Kitty Knight Inn is a slice of history nestled in Kent County near the Sassafras River. Stunning sunset river views set the stage for a diverse menu of outstanding delish dishes. Two that can recommend without hesitation are the Gouda burger and the honey hot chicken. The staff are attentive and awesome and make any dining experience carefree. Make an evening exceptional by stepping into and surrounding yourself with history! read more

Main chef has departed.He had won the Best Chef Challenge I believe sponsored by Netflix. Used to have the best baked & grilled Rockfish on the Upper Western Sore of our Chesapeake Bay. Not anymore. Still has a decent Maryland Crab Soup & better Cream of Crab. Salads are very fresh! Prices are much higher despite lost of world renowned Chef leaving. Jas a beautiful deck overlooking the Georgetown Harbor on the Sassafras River. Outside bar is friendly & inviting. Live bands on the deck on weekends! read more

Chic, small-town vibe restaurant with an incredible view of the local marina. Came here for a sip and shop event and the staff were extremely nice. They served us boozy hot chocolate and it was delicious. Can't wait to dine here one day. I've heard the menu and food are impressive. read more

Came here for their Thanksgiving dinner event. Beautiful setting made you wish Thanksgiving was in July. Oh to be waterfront on this party deck having Thanksgiving in shorts would be perfect. I guess I'm missing living in San Antonio today. Very nice and generous spread here for thanksgiving. Cold bar with oysters and shrimp, all the usual Thanksgiving options and all delicious. I heard the turkey was fresh as well. Mashed Potatoes could have been more creamy, and beans could've been cooked some more. Topped it off with a very unexpected desert. Smith Island carrot cake and chocolate cake. I had the carrot cake and it was so moist. Service very attentive and cheerful. read more

We recently enjoyed a nice lunch at Deep Blue. We had gone there 4-5 years ago and weren't impressed - the menu was super small back then and had no good vegetarian options. Friends of ours had mentioned that there was a new owner or something and that they'd had a good meal there so we decided to give it another try. I'm glad we did. The menu is much more interesting and has lots more choices now. Everything we had was great, from the BBQ brisket sandwiches and fries to the deviled eggs with pimento cheese. It was all pretty darn good. We will definitely be going back. read more

The service was excellent. The fireplaces were not burning, so the ambiance was so so. We ordered the chefs specials. Short rib stroganoff. The short rib was deliciously cooked tender, however the sauce was thin. $24 By the bay, Crab Mac n cheese. There wasn't any crab in the dish that I could taste, it was indeed cheesey. $28. read more

This place is a gem. The ambiance of sitting on the water and just enjoying the view. The food was delightful and the drinks were on point. Its was my 53rd birthday and the chocolate lava cake with ice cream was to die for. The service was 5stars and we will be returning. read more

So, if you're looking for a picturesque view, decent orange crush and enjoyable music ... I say by all means go. If you're looking for dinner - skip it. My scallop entree (described by the menu as seared with corn succotash) ended up being over cooked scallops served over frozen corn/ string bean mix. No flavor at all. Will say the Smith Island cake was good. read more

Labor Day Weekend why would you close the restaurant and bar at 8 PM? I am sure your employees worked hard all day, but you might want to plan better for next year as you had a pretty full outside of tables and bar. We were asked to pay our bill and left. Poor planning on someone's part! read more

Venue: Deep Blue at Kitty Knight - @deepblueatkittyknight Our wedding venue on 5/10/25 was the perfect location with water views, indoor and outdoor options, and a chill atmosphere. The food options were aplenty and our main menu items of Brisket, Salmon, and Hot Honey Chicken were a hit! I even had a guest ask if they could take some home with them. We loved how we chose our His and Her bar drinks and our Georgia Peach and Coconut Mojito were on point. The staff from Tiffany, our planner, to our bartenders, the servers, and more were so helpful at every turn. If it looked like we needed anything they were immediately checking in on us. It was amazing to see even the folks working the outside deck willing to jump in and just be there to help us celebrate too. Did I mention the after party on the deck? The bartenders were keeping all of our guests happy and entertained too! 10/10 Coordinator at Deep Blue: Tiffany Abruzzo - From the moment we toured the Kitty Knight we knew it was meant I be for us. Tiffany made the location feel like home for us. Any call, text or email was handled with care and we are so lucky to have had her be there with us. She truly felt like a part of the family making sure everything went just right. Even when she brought us some extra w blankets to our room after hours the night before the wedding. What a joy to work with! 10/10 Accommodations: The Kitty Knight Inn - @deepblueatkittyknight The Kitty Knight Inn offers great views, history throughout the inn, and each room is unique. I wanted to take a look at each room, but had the chance to see inside 4 of the 11 rooms. We sold the place out and all of our guests loved being able to stay on location. 10/10 read more

Amazing service! Shout out to Riley Pinato,, Karson Rice, Maya, Elena, Maya, and Elena!!! They were the best ever!

We contracted the restaurant for a family celebration. The selection of the food was amazing and they allowed for a change in the menu from the original contract since this celebration was a post wedding event. The water view was amazing even though the weather did not cooperate and the staff was extremely accomodating. Highly recommnd this venue for an event of less than 90 people; we had 50 at our celebration and there was plenty of room for a 2 man band, dancing and more. Very affortable when you compare to other establishments in the Cecil County area. A hidden gem! read more

Food, family, atmosphere and great service they have it all at Deep Blue. We were welcomed when we came in. Asked if we wanted a table we asked to sit at the bar. Headed into the restaurant not knowing what to expect. Walked and found a few open seats. It was 7:00pm and they closed at 8:00pm so there were only a handful of people dining. We ordered drinks and were advised on Wednesday there is a special on pasta. I felt like we ordered everything. Jeff ordered oysters on the half shell, lobster roll and fried calamari. I ordered shrimp and crab linguini. Jeff said the bar fries were the BOMB! Dinner and drinks came to $144.00 without tip but worth it. Everything was delicious and produced promptly. Reading the menu they offer a lot of specials, happy hour, and military discounts. It was refreshing to see. I wish more restaurants were community friends like Deep Blue. Jeff and I did have a few drinks but we're lucky to have booked a room for the night at the INN attached to the restaurant so we didn't have far to go to call it a night. Overall experience was 10 out of 10. Very cool place. Clean, historic, and yummy food. read more

Was looking for a nice spot on Fourth of July to grab dinner and this place nailed it. Did not see the inside but the outdoor deck area is lovely, with views of the marina as far as the eye can see. Ordered the coconut shrimp and a crab cake sandwich. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. Dress code is casual, men can get away with a polo and shorts with flip flops while the ladies won't stand out in a cute maxi dress or shorts with a sleeveless top. read more

Not dog friendly anymore. We've been local to the area for almost 20 years and seen owners and management come and go at Kitty Knight. Just another example of what won't keep customers. Deck was absolutely empty when we came. Just go across the river to the granary. read more

We took our friends to dinner after an amazing lunch and everyone was extremely disappointed. 1. I ordered the crab cake entree which cost more than the sandwich. I received a single crab cake and cucumber salad. I have NEVER left a restaurant hungry before today. 2. My friend ordered their chef special lobster Mac and cheese- the lobster tasted frozen and the pasta was just blech. Our waitress was attentive but not actually paying attention. We tried to order spa twice without her acknowledging us. Our drinks came in oddly. - not properly mixed. Overall- not sure it is worth our time to return. read more

We celebrated our wedding at Deep Blue at Kitty Knight and I am still blown away by the service provided, especially from Event Manager Tiffany! For 10 months during planning, Tiffany was so responsive and helpful via email on every single detail of the wedding. Come day off, the staff nailed the decorations, dinner, bartending and more! We simply could not be happier with the flawless execution of our celebration! Thank you so so much Deep Blue and Tiffany!!! read more

Had reservations for 7 to attend Mother's Day brunch. Somewhat disappointed with the event. No comparison to last year's brunch. Considerably less selection, no carving station, seafood limited and not much for breakfast items. We love this restaurant, usually great food and service at a unique location, views and environment but felt let down expecting a similar holiday event. I guess times are tough at Deep Blue Kitty Knight house...wasn't any cheaper. read more

Go for the view and enjoy a drink. The food is okay, nothing too stellar. We had the crab dip that didn't have a lot of crab, seafood pasta that had shrimp, and the steak. Everything was just okay, nothing that lit my taste buds up and excited to try something else off their menu. However, for drinks and the view, I'll be back. read more

So disappointed. Went with family & friends. We have only been twice ourselves, on the deck, where bar food is served, which is better according to me. My son-in-law ordered Fish 'n Chips-where did the fish go!?! The fries looked like they had spent the whole day in the warming tray. Our friends - one ordered a bowl of Cream(?) of Crab soup & the Scallop (3) wrapped in bacon appetizer. His wife ordered the Scallop entree that was presented on a huge plate, displaying 3-4 small Scallops and a dollop of Mashed Potatoes (only one side offered). My husband had the Chicken Vodka Rigatoni. Eh! Flavor not there, sauce dense, over cooked-dry chicken, and not a substantial serving at all. My daughter & I had the Rockfish entree, and they were excellent & substantial. Our granddaughter had the deviled egg appetizer (loved them) and Soup of the Day. I suppose, because I'm a "Chopped" (Food Network) fan & saw the series Chef Jester participated in, I was excited for everyone to be happy. I suppose I was expecting more from Chef. I'm sorry to say, as for Cream of Crab soup, we will stick with Hammer's (where that cook serves traditional Eastern Shore, Cream of Crab). For dining out we will stick to the Fish Whistle (except Cream of Crab soup), Chestertown & Middletown restaurants, where our $$$ go further and a, more, substantial meal, that has flavor, is served.

We brought a party of 7 to have lunch here - two drove up from Philadelphia, 5 from Annapolis. We chose this restaurant because their website says they are dog friendly and their Yelp listing says pets are welcome. So we drove an hour and a half bring 2 6lb Maltese pups. We were told on arrival that they changed their dog policy one month ago and refused to seat us. On their whole outside patio there was one other table but they left us standing in the parking lot and refused service. It's just wrong read more

AMAZING FOOD. We ate here with a large group. They were unprepared for our arrival but did everything in their power to accommodate us. We had a fantastic evening! They have a great menu with lots of food options and an amazing drink menu. The sunset view from the outdoor spaces is breathtaking! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was fabulous. Our party of 8 started out with crab dip, oysters and shrimp ceviche. The plates went back empty! Our cocktails were yummy too. We ate out on the deck with a beautiful view. For my meal I chose the crab cakes...so much crab with little filling. And the sauce was plate licking good. Every person in our party was very happy with their choices. There was a live band playing which was a bit too loud for our preferences as it made it impossible to have a conversation. read more

Deep Blue was A.MA.ZING! (local) asparagus topped with crab was excellent, nice assortment of unique desserts and Blackberry Manhattan was great night cap. As for the Inn, rooms are basic but very well kept. Assuming rooms are not original to home, bathrooms could have been designed bigger as surely anyone large would never fit in small shower. Nice side chair to sit and watch yachts coming under bridge and good assortment of coffees. Realize the home is older but without AC in rooms had to keep overhead fan on high speed and only in mid-80s outside. Not sure how anyone in 3rd floor rooms would fare. Worst is depending what room you book you may have to go up/down extra set of stairs that is very steep, although staff were super friendly and helped me get luggage up/down stairs but navigating them to get in/out was not easy. Really should have another exit without stairs on that side of house. read more

We stopped by today. It was 70 degrees, sunny and we were looking for a place to sit by the water and have a beer. We had our dog with us. When I asked the manager if the outside deck was dog friendly he told me regretfully no. He did however invite us to sit on the lawn overlooking the Sassafras River. He cleaned two chairs for us and set them on the lawn. Our server, Allie, was there in minutes to take our order. When she brought our beers she also brought some ice water for our dog. I can't remember ever being treated so well in a restaurant before. Not only will I be back but I will encourage my friends to go there as well. read more

It's just old fashioned goodness in every way: the food, the atmosphere, the service.

New management- same amazing view!! We had a great dinner. Our drinks were well prepared - gin and tonic/soda (nothing flat). We had the clams as an appetizer- delicious! We both ordered salads - Shore Caesar and Southwest with fried chicken. They were fresh, crispy - the ingredients were just as described. Service was perfect! Oh - and then the live band!! It was a great evening. I'll be back soon! read more

Sunday 2 pm... party of 6... 4 burgers and two crab salads orders. Burger served first... 12 minutes later the salads arrived with NO dressing!!!! The waitress did not come back for another 18 minutes.. Everyone was done with the burgers before the Waitress was done eating the burgers. She was told of no dressing on the salad. I returned my salad without eating it. I had the fries from my husband and they were delicious. All the guys loved the burgers. And that is why I am giving it two stars! read more
