| - As far as seafood in the desert goes, this place is great, however, having spent many years on the east coast, I've had a taste for amazing seafood, so I'm a little judgementy when it comes to all yummy morsels from the sea.
I had heard great things about this place since it had opened, so when trying to decide where to get lunch on a Saturday afternoon, my boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try finally. We rode our bikes over (with my dogs) and the entire staff was very accommodating from the moment we arrived. They showed us where we could put our bikes and invited us to sit at the perfect table on the patio with the dogs (BONUS! DOG FRIENDLY PATIO!). Our server was very friendly and service was prompt.
We ordered the oysters, the Inner Harbor Crab Cakes, and the Fish n' Chips to share. The oysters were delicious and made me very excited for the rest of the meal to come. The crab cakes were advertised as Maryland Style, and all though the flavor wasn't bad, they were disappointing. Maryland crab cakes should have lump crab meat in them, these were shredded. Also, they lacked that nice dear or the outside that gives them a nice crunch. These were almost mushy throughout. The fish n' chips were tasty, all though the fish was a little greasy, like they had been fried at a low temperature.
As far as I've found in the valley so far, this place is great to get my seafood fix, I'll be interested to explore their menu further, especially after the oysters. If you're from Maryland though, and are looking for a great crab cake like I've been since moving here, this is not the place to get it unfortunately.
