Terrrific. We had a party of four and we all enjoyed our meals. The Maryland Vegetable Crab Soup was especially good--some of the best I've ever had.

Excellent service and superbly fresh seafood make this a dining destination right on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay a must. Some told me the casino housed in the same building was a distraction from the restaurant. From where I sat, I only enjoyed the seagulls, the sun sparkling on the bay and restaurant full of patrons relishing the Maryland fried chicken, flounder, perfectly cooked scallops, oysters, crab cakes and crab balls and unusually well prepared and succulent shrimp. Great experience!

I got to sit by the window and the view was great of the pier and gazebo. I was in the rear of the restaurant, just in front of the casino area. It wasn't noisy at that moment. The tables were socially distant. The food was alright. The service was good.

Rod n Reel is a wonderful restaurant. But on special events, because so many people want to be there, the menu is not great. Come any time, not on a special event the chef is wonderful. The hotel gives you what you want. The staff is friendly. Give you what you want. Comfortable nice rooms. You pay for the room's ambiance. . They have rooms to satisfy you. On the waterfront beach, it's great to impress. There's a pool, barbershop, nail salon, conference center. It's all in that corner. The slots are well taken care of. Everyone has to use a player's card. When you come off, the machine disables, to be whipped down. Folks disinfecting 24/7. Everyone has to wear a mask.

Views are great, but the place is noisy, dirty and more focused on gambling than good food and service

Excellent food - not happy with seating too close to people walking by to go to the game room - next time will suggest to sit over by window

We stayed at the hotel for the Christmas holiday, and were very pleased that the restaurant was open for both days, so that we didn't have to travel around searching for someplace to eat. The food was very tasty, the servers very pleasant and helpful, and everyone was alert to the COVID restrictions, so we felt safe and happy to be here!
