We went on a Wednesday for their Wine Wednesday bottle sale to-go, and the experience was so fun. The woman helping us was incredibly knowledgeable about wine and made it even better by offering us tastings so we could try different options before choosing. She was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she does. We also picked up some of their chocolates, including the chocolate-covered pretzels, and they were delicious. They had a great variety of treats and unique items to browse. If you're in the Patuxent River area and enjoy wine, gourmet snacks, and great customer service, I definitely recommend stopping by Blue Wind Gourmet!

The Pier was incredible--the staff were super friendly and they got us settled in quickly and provided top-tier service for our entire party. The location is stunning, right on the water with a perfect view of the bridge. It's the kind of unique atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The Food Highlights... * The "Crabby Pizza": This was a total standout! Garlic alfredo, jumbo lump crab, and Old Bay--it's a Maryland must-try. * Vast Menu: Whether you want perfectly seasoned salmon, blackened shrimp, or even vegetable dumplings, they have it all. It's rare to find a place where 15 people can all find something they love, but The Pier nailed it. * Quality: Everything was wonderfully seasoned and fresh. We even ordered extra food to go because we didn't want the meal to end! We had a great time and will absolutely be back. If you're hiking the Cliffs or just visiting Solomons Island, make sure this is your lunch or dinner stop. #enjoygoodpeople

Not Jerry's! It's like a time warp to the 80s or 90s: metal counters, floor tile in different shades of tan, and purple florescent lights that would have looked perfect in a 1993 school photo. Like the food pyramids of yore, the food is 80% processed carbs. Curiosity and hunger brought me in, but once I got inside and looked at the pictures on the menu, I had to admit defeat - I simply couldn't order either a sub or pizza, despite the restaurant's namesake. So I went with the salad and onion rings. The salad, mostly lettuce, as expected, was pretty lame, and I didn't detect any onions in the rings; I'd be surprised if it wasn't fried air. But the sauce - highlight of the meal! With an oily pinkish-red color and a bit of MSG-kick, I'd bet you could use it to convince any picky eater than a stick of asparagus was actually a french fry. But unfortunately, I've got to review the restaurant on the whole package, not just the sauce...

You climb a flight of stairs to get to the restaurant. The inside is attractively decorated. Since it was a beautiful day, we chose to sit out on the covered porch, with views of the water. There were a number of parties there for Friday at lunch, but it was not full. We did not make a reservation for lunch, but I understand it is necessary at dinner. Our server was pleasant. We shared the fried green tomato appetizer (four slices, with marinara sauce & cheese). I ordered the chicken Milanese off the lighter menu. It was a fried cutlet, served with arugula and shaved parmesan, with a touch of a lemon dressing. Quite tasty. Others in the party ordered the lobster ravioli (which looked delicious) and the Bolognese. I would give the food five stars. There were a few hiccups with the service (having to repeat requests for bread, for a box for leftovers), but nothing that detracted from an overall nice experience. I would definitely go again.
