Stopped by for lunch after touring. We found it on Yelp, in fact…read more A pretty little restaurant with a formal atmosphere, but everyone was dressed very casually. My wife started with a Cosmo, her favorite cocktail, and said it was excellent. We shared the strawberry salad lunch special and the Popeye burger with fries. The fries were an unusual and cool wide spiral cut, and some of the best we'd ever had. The burger was wagyu beef with Boursin and spinach. The salad had a nice touch of candied walnuts. We got dessert. The flourless lava cake and the key lime pie. Both were amazing and took us to the threshold of diabetes. This has to be one of the best restaurants in the area! It's absolutely wonderful.

Then we ordered 2 grilled cheese and ham sandwiches and a cheese burger. It took at least 40 minutes to deliver our food. We were about to leave, but waited a few more minutes since we would start again with ordering at another restaurant. After the 40 minute wait, a regular ham and cheese came out for my husband, a cheeseburger came for our son, and for me a grilled ham and cheese with tomato came out with the bread burned so much, I couldn't scrape off all the char. I finally took it back and they brought the same sandwich back to me saying they wouldn't charge for it (like go ahead and eat the carcinogenic toast anyway). They said they had no more ham I said bring me a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. I finally got the sandwich, but they forgot the tomato. I was just so happy it was not burned. I do not recommend. Ambiance is a cheap diner, but the food is not cheap. For 3 adults we paid $44.00. The grilled cheese sandwiches were cheap, but the cheese burger with fries was pretty expensive. And 2 ice teas for $7.00, which seamed a little high for a hole in the wall. I wish I took a photo of the burned grilled cheese.

Ordered a combo with silver dollar pancakes but asked if we could sub-out the pancakes with toast…read more Waitress says well right now we are out of pancakes and "Chef" does not like people swapping out... But you're out of pancakes... what would someone do if they wanted to order that and you are out of pancakes... just get the combo without pancakes? Or just 86 the combo off the menu? Okay well how about we take 3$ off the price of the combo since you are out of pancakes and we'll just order a side of toast for 1.50 so you lose almost two dollars on that meal????! So then I order an omelette which comes with one choice of meat and three additional toppings and asked if we could put the sausage on the side instead of in the omelette to which again she replied 'chef' does not like changes to the meals. So I said, that's fine I'll just pick it out. When it comes out, all it is, is two sausage patties whole (see pic) laid in the omelet and folded over... well, I guess it just made it easier to pick out. I'm still confused... Other than that, the kids working we're sweet. Just not really nonsensical. The meal was decent and I cannot say that I would not go back. But, kind of primarily because it's the only breakfast gig in town.

Overall, the food was really good, and the water view is really nice. Great place for a meal! Side note: their cakes looked incredible, but we didn't try them this time.

Saw they have a fried combo platter for a reasonable $24.99. Will definitely stop by for dine in. Otherwise, takeout ribs (with extra bbq sauce) are the way to go!

Everyone was friendly and we were able to be seated right away. It's right on the water, so we could see Pax River right from our booth. They offered outdoor seating, but it was almost 90 degrees out, so we opted for indoor. There was a very good selection of food items available, plus with it being Sunday, they had brunch going on as well. We decided to not do brunch; since we were going to a seafood restaurant we didn't really want breakfast foods (bacon, eggs, sausage, waffles, etc). I got shrimp tacos and my wife got the Captain's Platter (4 breaded shrimp and 2 mini crab cakes, plus sides). Meals were very good. A little pricey, but that's to be expected with seafood. Will definitely come back again. Perhaps we'll come earlier in the day on Sunday and actually do the brunch buffet.
