The family-run vibe is nice, but the portion sizes were a bit smaller than I expected for the price. My pasta dish was tasty, just not a huge plate. Good for a lighter meal, I guess.

Crab cake sandwich was solid. Lots of lump crab, not much filler. Sat outside by the water, felt like Key West for a minute. Good spot.

The crab cake was all lump crab, no filler. Shoestring fries were crispy. Lunch in the garden was lovely &ndash; the space felt really open and airy.

Cream of crab soup was solid, definitely a good one for the area. Happy hour beers were half off, so that was a plus. Just a chill spot to stop in.

Jada was super attentive, really made us feel welcome. The seared tuna starter was a standout, the seaweed salad was a nice touch. Portion was decent for the price, felt like a good start to the meal.

Stopped in for a quick bite. The surf and turf tacos were really good. Pamela, our server, was super nice and checked on us just the right amount. Made a random lunch feel pretty chill.

The Cajun salmon bowl was the star. The salmon itself was so fresh and moist, cooked just right. Really enjoyed the whole vibe of the place while eating it.

The coffee here is solid. Got the house blend, it&#39;s got a nice, deep roast flavor without any bitterness. Smooth finish. The book browsing thing is fine, but honestly, I just come for the cup. It&#39;s consistent.

The affogato is a must-try! Their coffee is so rich, and pouring it over the vanilla ice cream is the perfect little treat. Great spot to catch up with a friend over something sweet.

Love sitting outside by the harbor for breakfast in the summer. The fresh air really makes the meal.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s cozy, has that modern industrial look, and feels comfortable. Good spot for a family dinner. Brunch is pretty casual too, which I like.

Hazel was super helpful with the menu on a busy Sunday morning.

Been coming here for years. Their steak is always cooked just right, tender and flavorful. It&#39;s the one thing they never mess up. The rest is fine, but that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Service was efficient and helpful. The staff took time to walk me through the menu options, which I appreciated as a first-timer. They offered a sample to help decide. Good, no-nonsense approach.

The strawberry glaze on the Pony Party was spot on&mdash;just enough sweetness without being cloying. Really enjoyed that. The menu has some other interesting flavor combos I&#39;d like to try next time.

Been coming here for years, and the Preserve Burger is always cooked just right. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

A solid neighborhood cafe. Their coffee is always fresh, and I appreciate the variety of pastries. The booths are comfortable, which makes it a nice spot to relax for a bit.

The buffet spread was solid. Plenty of options, and the roast beef station was the highlight - tender, with a good horseradish sauce. The price for the package deal felt fair for the amount of food.

The owner came by to chat, which was a lovely touch. But what really stood out was the freshness of the ingredients. You could taste it in the simple salad and the grilled fish. Everything felt so clean and light.

The portions here are huge! We ordered the chicken parm and had enough left for lunch the next day. Good value for what you pay.

Been coming here for years. The carne asada tacos are always spot-on, never dry, and the salsa verde has that perfect kick. It&#39;s just consistently good, which is why we keep coming back.

The fish was so fresh, and the light breading let the flavor really come through. I really appreciate when a place uses quality ingredients like that. The homemade tartar sauce was a nice touch too.

The steamed crabs were spot on, and the house white wine was a surprisingly good match for the sweet meat.

Cute spot with local art on the walls. Sat outside on a sunny afternoon and it was lovely. Got the lavender latte, which was a nice twist on the usual. The foam art was a pretty touch.

Been coming here for years. They&rsquo;ve kept things consistent, even through all the COVID stuff. The place always feels clean and organized, which is a big deal for me. Just makes picking up my usuals a lot less stressful.

Their breakfast sandwich is the real deal. The egg was perfectly fluffy and the bacon had that nice crisp. Grabbed one to go and it totally hit the spot for my morning.

The late lunch was a quiet one, just me and the pasta. The carbonara was the real deal&mdash;creamy without being heavy, with a sharp bite from the pecorino and crispy guanciale. That small-town feel they talk about? It&#39;s all in the sauce, simple and honest. Portion was a bit on the smaller side, but the flavor was spot-on.

The Choptank is a perfect spot for a date night! The ambiance is lovely, and the food is exceptional. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful evening.
