So you've been to the Lighthouse too, I see.
I had a crab and grilled shrimp over soba noodles dish there one time that I still remember now, two years later. Never had a bad meal there. :shrug:

Where was back creek bistro, never even heard of it.
Couldn't agree more. That's the Bistro and Cafe Des Artistes closing down in SoMD.
If I may ...
Let's see .... They are located at Calvert Marina. No paved roads. Unkempt area around building. Next to a boat yard. Yet had a captive audience, so to speak, at the condominiums and still couldn't make it. They are located at Calvert Marina. If you went by it during the day, one would be hard pressed to even realize that there was a restaurant in the building. The first level of the building being a showroom and sales office for .... Matt's retirement housing complex.
I would bet that because Matt, the owner of all things Calvert Marina, including the building the Bistro is in, doesn't want, or a deal couldn't be reached, to continue the business that would be in harmony with his over 55 housing community he is building called the "Harbours at Solomons Island". A huge endeavor that will pretty much encompass and fill every available lot from the gate to the end of Dowell Rd. And that, I'll bet, is the real reason the Bistro's doors are closing.
One thing I have noticed about "local" restaurants that bothers me is the bathrooms are almost always gross. Then I think hey they guy that makes my food also uses this bathroom. Keep the bathrooms clean and in good condition and it reflects positively on your business.
I just got off the phone with Im_Me and she says that it's because local restaurants tend not to advertise and people don't realize they're there. Is that it? The owners need to step up their marketing game?
... So this is a real request:
Examine your restaurant habits and please tell me why you prefer chain restaurants over locally owned ones.
We liked Vera's but after she died the food did too.
This sentence right here is how I know you're full of it because the old Vera's was always notorious for having the worst food in perhaps the whole United States of America. Not to mention it was scary filthy.
Fast food restaurants are typically disgusting, but you're talking about a lower level of employee and most of them can't be bothered to do their jobs. EXCEPT Chick-Fil-A - holla, because they are the exception to pretty much every unpleasant fast food rule.
Y'all are funny in getting nasty about who likes what restaurant. We don't go to Solomons as a rule, but we did go to Blue Heron once. It was quite delicious. Sorry to hear it is closing.
Who is getting nasty?
Couldn't agree more. That's the Bistro and Cafe Des Artistes closing down in SoMD. I guess if you want a date night restaurant, maybe you could get a corner booth at Olive Garden.
