Simple elegance. The dining room is bright and open, with soft jazz wafting in the air. The walls are nearly unadorned, but huge windows offer a stunning look at the Chesapeake. On the patio, a live band inspires the diners on the deck to sway and dance. All these harmonic elements explain why this restaurant is popular for those seeking a romantic spot to dine.

The calamari, prepared upon ordering, is lightly battered and fried to stay tender. The seafood Napoli, a house specialty, features a broiled lobster tail stuffed with tender lump crabmeat and shrimp while the broiled combo one-ups that seafood medley by adding scallops, oysters, clams, and a lemon-butter flounder fillet. Steadfast landlubbers may prefer the tenderloin prepared medium rare accompanied by a bernaise sauce and homemade garlic mashed potatoes.
