- FFredWashington, D.C. Area •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAnother wonderful meal at Ruth's Chris! Sam & her assistant were great and the food was excellent as always. Never rushed and just an enjoyable evening. The one & only downside was the comfort level of the chairs. We sat at a table for 4 & only 1 chair was comfortable. The others desperately need reupholstering. There was almost no cushioning in them & you could feel the wooden base. Management really needs to evaluate them and consider replacement or rehabilitation.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - Ocean CityPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Ocean City•4.9
- MMichaelPhiladelphia County •4 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 31, 2025Restaurant Review: Marlin Moon – Ocean City, MD Our recent visit to Marlin Moon in Ocean City, Maryland, was a mix of highs and a few disappointments. With a party of five, including two individuals with Celiac disease, we were eager to see how the restaurant accommodated dietary restrictions while delivering a great dining experience. The Food The lack of a dedicated gluten-free menu was a challenge, but the staff did make an effort to modify dishes where possible. Unfortunately, while their accommodations were appreciated, both individuals in our group with Celiac disease found their meals to be mediocre at best. For the rest of our party, however, the food was spectacular. Every dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It was clear that the kitchen excels in crafting dishes within their standard offerings, and the quality was top-tier for those without dietary restrictions. Drinks & Service The beverage selection was solid, with a good variety of options to complement the meal. A standout moment was the bartender, who went above and beyond to craft delightful mocktails for our child, making their experience extra special. Ambiance & Convenience The restaurant itself has a pleasant and inviting ambiance, offering a relaxed yet upscale feel perfect for a night out. Additionally, parking was convenient, which is always a plus when dining in a busy beach town. Would We Return? Would we go back? Yes—but with some hesitation. In a town like Ocean City, where the restaurant scene is vast and diverse, Marlin Moon lands slightly above the midpoint on our list of places to visit regularly. If options were limited, we’d happily return, but with so many outstanding choices available, we’d likely explore other spots before making our way back. Final Thoughts Pros: ✔ Spectacular dishes (for non-gluten-free diners) ✔ Thoughtful and friendly bartender ✔ Pleasant ambiance ✔ Convenient parking Cons: ✘ No dedicated gluten-free menuMore infoMarlin MoonPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Ocean City•4.6
- HHeidiLas Vegas •25 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024Christmas dinner at The Captains Table was as good as always. The Holiday Prime Rib was delicious. Perfect tender & flavorful. The mashed potatoes were creamy & sublime. Service was very good. Anna did a wonderful job taking care of me. There’s a reason why I have come back for Christmas dinner the last 3 years.More infoCaptains Table RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Ocean City•4.7
- CCynthiaBaltimore / Maryland •9 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 28, 2024We come to the Hilton every year for Thanksgiving. This year I have to say the food was even better. It’s good every year, but it was really hot and the buffet always had fresh food. The staff is always quick and attentive to your needs. The only sad thing was since 2017 when we’ve been here they’ve always had their holiday decorations out which give it a festive feel and they didn’t do that this year.More info32 Palm - Hilton Ocean CityPrice: Expensive• American• Ocean City•4.1
