| - My original bad review was removed for lack of specificity. So here is the original review with all the detail a person could want:
Skip it ... trust me. Bad food bad service, bottomless mimosas were 90% orange juice.
(1) Skip it: if you are looking to try somewhere new my recommendation is that this place should not make the list. I was not impressed with the food the service or the overall experience.
(2) Trust me: with extended family in Pennsylvania and Maryland I spend my summers growing up in the northeast. My grandmother made Maryland crab cakes at home, and we tried the Maryland crab cakes at dozens of establishments across Maryland. I am no expert but I can tell the difference between good and bad crab.
(3) Bad food: we started with the bacon wrapped scallops. The bacon was charred and the scallops were so overdone they were rubbery and difficult to chew (if you haven't had scallops they should not be rubbery or chewy). We then had crab dip which was not dip at all. It was mushy crab goo piled onto small slices of bread. The flavor left a lot to be desired and the consistency was the straw that broke the camels back. After a bite I opted to move onto the next thing. Now the true disappointment, the crab Benedict. Let me first say, I LOVE crab Benedict ... just not this one. I didn't know you could butcher the concept of fresh crab, hollandaise sauce and a poached egg, but crab corner figured out how to. I made it about halfway through before I gave up. The flavor left something to be desired on every front.
(4) Bad service: here is the kicker. Had the the service been great I might have overlooked the bad food, but it simply wasn't. There were 2 male servers sharing the responsibilities for the restaurant. They tried to be attentive (I think) but failed miserably. We went long periods with empty drinks (mimosas that were supposed to be bottomless, sodas, tea and water too), and plates on the table that needed to be cleared. I also respect that many places have a limit to bottomless mimosas, but it would be nice if the only notice of that was not a waiter (who had been previously ignoring us) announcing with a less than polite tone "you've got 20 minutes left, do you want anything else or are you done?!" Sure let us know we're coming to the end of our bad experience, thanks, but at least do it politely! Our server did finally crack a smile at the end of our meal, but by then it was too late.
(5) As for the mimosas, maybe some people like a mostly orange juice with a splash of champagne. I on the other hand, do not. But I'll let you judge this on your own should you choose to make a trip to this skippable restaurant.
I imagine that it's reasonable to have a review removed that's not specific enough, but I doubt anybody is asking to have reviews removed that say "this place is great" without any details. So I hope this review had all the details you ever wanted about my bad experience. Happy dining!
