About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
Here at Hot Tuna, our food is 5-star, but our dress code is surfer chic. Hot Tuna is a member of the Farm-to-Fork Movement; our menu features what is fresh, in-season and local. Eastern Shore seafood and produce from our local farms are staples, and our menu runs the gamut, from the freshest Ahi tuna to gourmet gouda burgers. Our bartenders are as adventurous as our chefs, providing you with hand-muddled mojitos, homemade sangria and organic margaritas. We hope you enjoy your dining experience with us!

**Thank you for your reservation. We attempt to honor all specific table requests such as a booth or outdoor seating. We are able to honor those requests 90% of the time. However, there are some occasions where a specific request may not be available at the time of your reservation. We do have a 2 1/2 hour time limit on parties of 6 or more.

    The food and service were great! Hunter made the experience much more pleasant as she would make sure that our party of five was always replenished. We enjoyed many of the happy hour menu items. The crushed mango and berry lemonade drinks were so refreshing and enjoyable on this warm weather. The chicken nachos are plentiful and perfect appetizer. Their asian zing chicken wings were very tasteful and the cod bites along with the Caesar salad made a perfect light meal. We also ordered the baked flounder from the specials. It was served with a mushroom risotto and broccolini and it did not disappoint. Hot Tuna was a great experience overall and we will definitely go back.

    We were sat at a dirty table that took 20 min to be cleaned after asking a couple different staff members. My filet was ordered medium rare and was brought to the table twice cooked well done. No manager checked in with us. Over disappointing dinner especially when it’s expensive to eat there.
