Ocean Pines Yacht Club

NOTE: If you book for a holiday buffet and you are a party of 2 you will not be set up inside the dining structure but rather they will put 2 tops up against walls.
The problem will that is we were next to a speaker that played music. And we had a thermostat on our wall with staff reaching over you to make adjustments.
And— people line up for the buffet beside you in the aisle. You wind up having people’s backsides unfortunately next you while you are eating.
In our case we also were right next to the kitchen door. The people in back of us were seated against the same wall and had the entrance next to them. Both tables at our wall were gazed upon by diners lining up for the buffet so the dining experience felt very tense. We only stayed long enough to eat a quick meal. No cocktails as we had planned on having a leisurely Easter Meal.

Had we known this we never would have come here this Easter. When we asked to have the table moved they said “no, because there weren’t that many only twos dining today”. Well, We counted 8 occupied two tops that some of which could have been incorporated into the main dining space as there was room.

We were not offered a reduced price for the meal for such horrible seating so we will never return on a holiday.

Ending on a positive note. Having 2 buffet lines made it move quickly.
The quality of food offerings was great. And it is very pretty if you get a table in the main dining area.
So we will return to dine here at some point. Just never on a holiday.

This seared rockfish was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The flavors are glorious and I will be coming back for it. The chocolate mousse cake was DIVINE. I told myself I'd just have a couple bites but that was a lie. Not pictured is the crab dip sourdough breadbowl because it was gonna before I thought to take a pic. 10/10 meal.

Great place for fun, music and incredible views.

Right now the restaurant is open at 30% capacity and they serve food on the deck. It worked for us!

They had a band that started playing around 7pm. Very entertaining. Although no dancing yet.

I ordered “peel and eat shrimp. They were excellent. Big and juicy, cooked just right, the sauce was delicious. My husband ordered “fish and chips” and I had a lobster roll. Fish was great - light and crispy. Lobster had a little bit too much “old bay” but good overall.

I want to say thank you to all staff for handling the reopening well. It is a difficult times for everybody and we need to see some light and hear music!
