We can keep this place in mind for a future forum get-together.
If its been eating the leftover mash at a still site.
I used to make that drive to Dennis Point all the time - the food was bad or good depending on which restaurant it was at the time, but the bar and outside deck was always a winner.
It is my hope that Capt. Pat's will turn it into a destination. It's one of those places I root for and want to see succeed.

Not to be snarky, but why would Pat succeed if this is a cursed location, especially considering he has had several restaurant failures in recent years (or am I confused)?

He had Pat's Seafood in Lex Park and was there for years and years. Are you thinking of Rick of cheesesteak fame?
You must have Pat Wathen confused with someone else.
There were times when the restaurant at DP Marina was firing on all cylinders. But it's also had more than its fair share of bad managers and bad actors over the years. If anyone can succeed there, it will be patient and talented Pat Wathen. I know he's got a ton of loyal customers from his LP restaurant raring to go try this one out.
His place burned down. That's not his failure.
I think Pat has a great chance of making this place into a destination attraction, like they have done with the old Scheible's, which is now Pier 450. How many people took the long journey down to Evan's because of its reputation? It was THE place to go for steamed crabs for many years. Good word travels fast and that is the best advertising. 
You're half confused. Others have already corrected you on Capt. Pat, but you're right about the cursed location. The old Perkins/etc in Leonardtown is the same cursed location, as is the old Harbor Lights location on Solomons and the location on the main Solomons road that changes hands every year.
I'm not sure why these locations are cursed. Poor landlord? Indian burial ground? But when a new owner takes over you can be assured it will fail within two years. I'm hoping Pat can exorcise that bad juju for Dennis Point.
With Tall Timbers closed, we're sorely missing a good local waterfront Sunday brunch place too.
Is Tall Timbers closed permanently now?
Hard to say.....I don't think Rick has put the last nail in the coffin, but I don't think he want's to restart it if running it falls back on his shoulders like it used to.
