We love the food it is always amazing and the views are gorgeous neither ever disappoints!

Açaí na tigela

I actually showed up before opening time. Around 2:30pm. The doors open at 4pm. I was still greeted very respectfully, and also seated. The staff made sure I was provided with drink options and food ! I was served a drink and food within 15 minutes of being seated . So far a great experience and I would highly recommend the Mediterranean salad. Thanks again for the service. I was also brought out an item that has not yet hit the menu ! It's the Açaí na tigela bowl ! Very very delightful and tasteful

Beautiful touch for Valentine's Day!

We celebrated my husband's birthday and Valentine's Day at Pier 450 and everything was perfect! We even stayed at the motel and it was so lovely. We will be back again and again! Thank you for everything!

Super surprising for southern Maryland. Don't take take that wrong. We went on a rainy Saturday in May. Sat at the bar and had some wine. The bar is a nice setup and had a bit of a lounge feel. The place that even comes closest is Sweet Bay in Leonardtown, but 450 is still unique. Ordered the crab balls and hush puppies as a bar food. Very good. Appears to have local beers on tap. Otherwise a good selection of wines, bubblies and booze. Will sit out next time. Looks like a nice place in the water. Kudos to the owners trying ti make a very unique place in southern southern Maryland. Take the extra 20 minute or so drive south of Lexington Park and check this place out. Highly recommend!

In terms of ambiance, Pier450 is a pretty to look at. The outside bar, the walkable pier, and the inside bar all are pretty cool and try to set the tone for the meal. The inside booths remind me of a diner, but overall the location (besides being so far from civilization) sets the tone well. And that is where things fell apart, at least on our last visit. For the prices being charged by Pier450, you expect a certain level of service and quality in food. I happily pay these prices elsewhere, but in the county where these prices are pretty expensive, Pier450 simply has to be better in every regard. Starting with service, our plates and appetizer were never really cleared throughout the meal, so we had to eat while our clearly empty and finished appetizer dishes sat on the table. The timing was also poor - there was a biiiig gap between appetizer and entree. Lastly, the server was unable to answer some pretty important but basic questions about menu items - things that for $30-$40 per plate, they better be able to answer. In terms of food - meh. My salmon was served room temperature (???) and served with lackluster mashed potatoes and warm oily zuchini (best way to describe it). Others at the meal put on a nice face but when the question came for dessert, it was a quick "No". If this was the last restaurant in the county, maybe I'd go back, but it's way too expensive for what it is. If the prices come down, it'd be more worth it.

A sorry excuse for $70 worth of food.

Guys,,,,it was so bad. We showed up at 4:15pm in order to miss the crowd because we didn't have reservations, and we know this place is tight if you don't have them. They gave us a seat, and everything after that was terrible. The server situation there has been bad in the past but this time it was the worst. The two ladies that look like they run the place were so rude to interrupt our server while she was introducing herself at our table, in order to tell her that the people nxt to us were really hungry, and to go help them (it was so weird and awkward). Well she did. And we got almost no service the rest of the 90 min we were there. Server didn't know the specials cause "she wasn't paying attention when they told her, so we asked her to find out, she returned 20min later . . Not exaggerating. An hour in to the "experience" my wife decided to just go to the bar and get her own drink; she was turned away, tender aid "just go find your server". We ended up just telling them to pack our food to go, and the pic is what we ended up with. Strait HOT GARBAGE! The bill is that of a fancy restaurant, but its not. You'd get better service at iHop and better food at the Ale House. Never again. Two plates + three drinks -$130.00 = WFT

A local gem. We came here to order for takeout, and then returned for dine in (on the patio by the beach). Both experiences were great: good, attentive, friendly service; great food; gorgeous waterfront setting and view. They are dog friendly (a plus) and even offered a bowl of water for our doggy. We enjoyed the view from the patio, and appreciated the fans creating a breeze (and reducing mosquitos and insects). Unique cocktails; try their Betty Davis Blue Eyes. Catfish tacos were delicious (generous portion too). Their chips and guacamole were very good. Overall, very pleasant experiences.

A good but not great restaurant in the deep south of St Mary's county. Located on the sands of a Potomac River Beach. Has both indoor and outdoor seating and a cozy bar area. We had a reservation and arrived to a nearly empty restaurant late on a Sunday. It was a little too windy to sit outside so we opted for the interior. The entryway features a hostess station and a small gift shop. It's kind of like a cracker barrel with a nautical theme. Unfortunately this was also where we were seated, so not the most intimate or romantic dining table. As well, had to do battle with flies. The menu is not extensive. If this restaurant was not located in southern Maryland it would probably be considered a three-star. Service was good and attentive if a little unpolished. Appetizer arrived without any small plates and we had to ask for them. We started with the crab balls and hush puppies. They were decent. One of our party opted for the salmon and liked it. Another had the crab cakes and enjoyed them. I tried the gumbo topped with seared rockfish. It was a decent dish. My bride went for the corn and crab soup and house salad. Overall it's a little expensive for the quality. With an app, three entrees, soup and salad and three drinks the total was 170 bucks before tip.

We've been visiting Pier450-POV Restaurant since early 2021. We've enjoyed many celebratory meals (brunches and dinners) as well as almost all of the exquisite Chef's Tastings. We love that the ingredients are sourced locally as much as possible, and the herbs are selected from their own garden. Most recently, the flowers that adorned the tables were grown on the premises. They were beautiful! The servers, bartenders, and kitchen team are some of the best people we have ever met. The creativity in the kitchen is incredible, and we are so lucky to have a dining experience of this caliber so far south in the the county. We look forward to many more years of enjoyment at Pier450. Between the delicious meals, wonderful staff and the sunsets, we are sold. Next on our list is to actually stay at The Quarters so we can soak in the total experience of dinner and the stars.

My husband and I ventured out to check out Pier450. The place is on the water and really cute. The staff is welcoming and charming; however, none of the could make up for the bland and less to be desired food.

We went back for the second time this past weekend. Unfortunately, we experienced some of the same issues from our last visit. The service was very slow. When we arrived there weren't many people in the restaurant, so I'm not sure what the issues was. The positives, I had the soy ginger brûléed salmon which was pretty good, the salmon had great flavor but it was a little bit overdone. To the not so great, the drinks were just ok. My blood mary tasted like straight horseradish. It overpowered the drink. My husband and I had espresso martinis after dinner. Had the restaurant not been so busy at that point, we would've sent them back. I have no idea if they made a mistake when making them but they tasted like root beer with a splash of coke and cough syrup. It was bizarre. Our food took about an hour to come out. My husband said his burger was ok, the menu said it came with caramelized onions but it came out with raw, red onion. He doesn't like raw onion. Our server never asked if we wanted separate checks, she just came out with one. When we asked for separate checks, she gave me two pens and asked me to break it out. Also, it got very loud as the restaurant filled up. They need something to help absorb the sound. Ultimately, with it being a 30 minute drive, we wouldn't go back unless we were invited by someone else for a special occasion.

We had to pass on the dessert as we were full to the brim from our entrees. We have already decided we are going to have our family events at the Ruddy Duck as they are designed for large parties and the Food, Service and Ambiance was over the top.

First timers on Solomon and at Bugeye Grill. I will admit that we stopped by this restaurant…read morebecause it was one of the first ones that had outdoor seating (we were visiting with a dog). The restaurant had a nice variety of dishes and specialty cocktails...I think that I was more interested in the latter. ;) Since I have not visited Solomons, MD before, I cannot comment if the prices are comparable to other places in the area. However, most of the entrees were in the $25 and up range. I thought my fish and chips (I forget the actual name of the dish) were fine, and my spouse really enjoyed the crab cake sandwich. Although I thought the portion sizes for the sandwiches and fries were fine, the serving size of the mussels seemed a bit small. However, this could have been an optical illusion because the serving bowl for the mussels was HUGE, so the amount of mussels could have appeared to be smaller than what it was. I thought the outdoor patio was great especially with a view of the water and folks going about their business. However, some may not like the setup because you are right on the main street, which can be a bit noisy especially if a lot of bikers are cruising up and down the strip. Parking was a bit of a struggle (not the fault of the restaurant). During our visit, all of the public parking lots were full. However, we visited on Mother's Day weekend so maybe there were more folks (including us ) in the area than normal. I'll admit that since this was my first time visiting the area that I'm not too familiar about the ebb and flow of parking. Overall, our server (who reminded me a bit of a young Jodie Foster) was amazing. One thing that I really appreciated was her telling us about a potential delay for the food due to a large party. Although no one wants to hear that after ordering food, I think it's nice and considerate when a server provides a heads-up so diners can adjust accordingly.
