“ Nice dinner spot on the water. Husband and I joined a local friend here for dinner this evening. We all enjoyed the food, relaxing atmosphere and quick service. For a starter, we shared a crab pretzel (see photo). This pretzel, paired with the house made crab dip and cheese was to die for. I would go back and eat this over and over again! I ordered a pound of steamed shrimp with a side of melted butter for dipping. Nothing special about this. It was just the normal peeled shrimp. (Not to say it wasn't good) Our friend ordered the Beer Battered Haddock with a side of Mac n Cheese and Hush Puppies. He stated that his sides were really good and the fish was also good, but again nothing that really stood out. My husband ordered the Crab Cake Sandwich, and this... this one stood out to us. The crab cake was cooked to perfection. My husband described it as "a crispy crab cake that was moist inside and made with real crab". We all tasted it and agreed that it was the winner in dinner choices this evening. Overall, I highly suggest getting anything with crab as those dishes were our favorite of the night. Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 ”
“ Nice location with parking. Another getaway with Wifey so lunch was on The Pier! Blackened shrimp tacos and smash burger was on point and very delicious. The waitress was very accommodating, and the ambiance and view was significant. Highly recommend! ”
“ We like the food at The Pier , we even bring out of town guests there occasionally. I go for seafood and my wife is a landlubber, but we both have found plenty of reasons to return. Service is good and friendly. There is also a beautiful view from most of the dining areas. ”
“ Food was delicious. We had a larger group and the service was quick and efficient and very friendly. Nice large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating right on the water. Very cool restaurant in a cool area. We were visiting from California and we had a great family meal at the Pier. ”
“ Great experience such a a beautiful restaurant on the water with a great view ! We also had excellent service the lady who waited on us was so sweet and replaced the stuff on my meal that I didn't like too much. She was so kind and refreshing as we only came out for the day. The shrimp tacos were okay I think they need to revamp it from being just shrimp and lettuce. Maybe other toppings but also the sauce in the taco not just on the shrimp. But they used the perfect size shrimp for what you get ! I wasn't too fond of the kale salad I think it needs to be stated that it's kale topped with coleslaw. The fries were pretty good thanks to the recommendation from our waiter. The drinks were great I would recommend the bartenders add a bit more liquor into the mango mule the drink tasted more like a mocktail than a cocktail , the strawberry mojito also lacked the mint excitement of a mojito. I would honestly come back Solomon's island is sooo beautiful and relaxing ”
“ People are so nice here; we had a chat with a lady who is here celebrating her 79th birthday. Scenery is so amazing. Love our dinners of boiled seafood plate and crab cake Cesar salad! Perfectness all around. ”
“ Amazing views of Maryland. Good food and lots of it. Service was personable and fast. It is worth Coming here for the views. Bar was busier than the restaurant. ”
