   The sea food wasnt fresh. It has the appearance of fine dining, but the layout inside is that of diner. Between the food, limited menu, and layout, I would not recommend.

   The ambiance is a little dated but the food was very tasty. The serving sizes are great and they know how to cook dishes to perfection. The fried chicken (you get four big pieces) was well fried, the collared greens were done right, and the mac and cheese was made with good quality cheese. If the food was seasoned a little more it would have been 5 stars! I got the fish and chips and the fish was very fresh! You must get the chocolate cake, it’s very moist!

   I went for Saturday dinner. Restaurant was relatively empty. I'm guessing bc it was raining. Service was terrible, food was cold.

   So sad that this once great restaurant has declined this much. While the service was very good--primarily because the restaurant was practically empty at 6:30--the food was mediocre, and the portions were small for exorbitant prices. Dinner for two cost more than $115 with only one alcoholic beverage, two regular drinks, one shared appetizer, one shared dessert, and two entrees. I would have expected so much more for the money. My advice is to go to one of the other, better restaurants in Chesapeake Beach.

    The food was mediocre for the price. Cream of crab had very very little crab. The crab cake was mushy. The calamari was superb. The crab dip was bland. The lac and cheese was not good. Just not good for the money. However, the atmosphere and view were amazing.

    Food was good. Service was great. Price was reasonable. Someone sitting a couple of tables over decided to have music playing on their phone while they ate their dinner and had it loud enough to share with the others around them. If it wasn’t for that, I would rate the ambiance better.

    Seated promptly at a nice table by the windows with a view. Flies (dead and alive) were all over the window sills and we started swatting them away the minute we sat down. Service was good. Calamari app was fine, but wasn’t served with lemon (nor were our seafood entrees), I ordered fish and chips. When they arrived I knew something was wrong. The smell of ammonia wafted up from the plate. I took one bite and had to spit it into my napkin. The fish was well past it’s prime and the smell and taste were noxious. The sever took it away and removed it from our bill. Neither the manager or chef ever came to the table. You’re a seafood restaurant serving spoiled seafood?? Come by and apologize you cowards. Absolutely disgraceful having the server take your lumps for you. Any manager or chef worth their salt would stop by the table and take responsibility. Not here apparently. It was our wedding anniversary, we got married at the resort so we wanted to visit again. That was the last time we ever set foot in that poor excuse for a seafood restaurant.

    The Server on this date was helpful and is a valuable employee. The visit was enjoyable so I returned on June 29, 2022 and was charged $5.00 extra for a cheese and cracker (bread) which was provided at no charge on the previous visit. After speaking with Jen, she refused to remove the $5.00 from the bill and gave the customer numerous excuses , not knowing I was at the restaurant a few days prior and ordered an entree as I did on the recent visit. I asked for a business card and was given every excuse why I could not get a business card but instead provided me with the number of Mary Donovan, who is supposed to be the manager that “conveniently” just left the restaurant. This was unacceptable to a paying customer that has no problem paying the required bill for service.

    When we arrived, no one was at the hostess station. After we sat down the waiter came over and greeted us and poured water into our glasses. He then welled away. After several minutes our waiter returned. He asked for our dinner orders; never did he ask about our drinks. We spoke up about our drinks. While waiting a very long time without our drinks, the manager happened to stop by our table. I mentioned that we hadn’t gotten our drinks yet and he resolved the issue. All entrees were very expensive but tasted good. The seafood Norfolk lacked spice. There was no option for sauces for the chicken sandwich. Our waiter did not stroll over and ask if we needed anything while we ate. Overall, we do not plan to dine here again.

    Our waitress was extremely kind. Had she not been we probably would have left before ordering. They lost our reservation. We were seated and ordered. One hour and 15 minutes later we got our food-two very simple shrimp platters. So mediocre for the price. Never again.

    Server was courteous and cheerful. Herb crusted rockfish was like eating over seasoned old fish - VERY disappointing. Crab soup had no lump crab. Collard greens over seasoned. Best part of the meal was the side salad. Small black moths flying around the table. Unlikely to ever return.

    Despite it being Memorial Day weekend, we were able to get a window table with a great view (early reservations helped) and we all had the Seafood Norfolk which was fantastic and worth every penny (be sure to dip some bread into the garlic white wine sauce...) Wine selection by the glass was limited but passable. Went before; will go again.

    The Rod and Reel is outdated and the food was not worth the price we paid. The filet I ordered was 40 bucks with two sides. The meat was not as fresh as i would have liked, it was a little stringy. Two sides were mashed potatoes and mac an cheese. The mashed potatoes were good, i cant say that for the mac an cheese though. It was like the cheese was not creamy enough. I wont be going back.

    Birthday lunch. Made reservations and almost Seated almost immediately. Hostess was welcoming. Waiter greeted us upon being seated. Very friendly & attentive. My French Dip sandwich was DELICIOUS. Meat was tender, roll was soft, au jus wasn’t too salty. Fries were hot & crispy. Will definitely come back

    The food and service were both decent enough. The French Dip sandwich was quite good in fact, the meat was well seasoned and not overly fatty. Which is the downfall of many a French Dip sandwich! The crabcakes were also very good. The seasoning and texture were spot on. The only problem was the excess amount of bone/shell we found inside. Our server was very friendly and took good care of us from start to finish. Overall we were very happy with the experience and can honestly say you should give this place e a shot! 😁

    Had an 11am reservations and never got seated until 1130 and that was only because I asked could I just take whatever table they had place was almost empty yet I couldn't get seated. Sat for another 15 mins until the hostess took my order not even the waiter. Food took forever and again it wasn't even crowded. Also you might want to change your website it says brunch 8am-1pm our group wanted breakfast not lunch.

    The service was good and friendly. The food was comparable to a high school cafeteria. No taste. Bland at best. Mashed potatoes were hard. The crab dip was a sprinkle of crab on top of a bowl of cheese. Salmon was sour, filet mignon was bland, vegetables were boiled and bland. I remember being there four years ago and the food was good the ambiance of the room was great but now it's a waste.
