    Front of the House - Dinner Service is very different than Lunch. Staff is not as attentive. Management - Circulating and engaging. Wait staff - Monica - menu knowledgeable and attentive. Helpful with recommendations. Meal - Maryland crab soup and mini crab cakes. A wonderful go to selection. Seasoned and tasty. Food Expeditors - Professional and helpful.

    The experience was very good. We heard so much about the award winning crab cakes that we had to try them. They were adequate but nothing special. The soup was good but the filet was really awesome. If we were to go back we would skip the crab cakes and just get the steak.

    Front of the House - Engaging and helpful. Wait Staff - Monica - helpful; attentive; and professional. Suggested a Nightly Special - stuffed chicken. Meal - Maryland crab soup and the chicken breast special. Both were tasty. Chicken breast special - next time I would go with sauce on the side. Again for me the Chef utilizes too much and it drowns the other flavors. Food Expeditors - professional and helpful. Management - Circulating; engaging; and professional.

    Pappa's food is exceptional. It's a bit pricy, but great!

    Lunch was excellent. A Friday noon reservation. Calm on arrival, filled pretty much every table as time went by, crowded and noise level went up. The food was excellent as always. The cost more than fair. Salad for one of us, take away plenty, special sandwich for me, tasty and adequate. Dessert? Took over ten minutes for staff to bring the menu, decisions were made, a long delay again, finally just sought check, service left us disappointed.
