Actually, Charles Street Brasserie | Tapas Restaurant | Solomons, MD has been there since 2014, so that curse must have been broken.

Most likely she is referencing the old Catamarans restaurant location 2 story building on left entering the island.
And why @RoseRed highlighted the one specific restaurant and not the whole sentence as two distinct restaurants were mentioned. And yes, Catamaran's was its name. It is now Bugeye Grill and seems to be doing well. I've only eaten there once (pre-COVID) and the food was great. Hope it makes it!

Sadly too many of us have been around long enough to have seen just about every restaurant in the area change management or shut down for good. You can almost tell how long someone's lived here by when they respond with - "oh, where the old Ponderosa used to be" or some such.
What's funny is that the Leonardtown location wasn't cursed when it was Perkins. It usually always had a good crowd. It was only cursed for every iteration that came after Perkins.
Where the Charles Street Brasserie is used to be John Simpson's wife's house before the Brasserie opened . For a while I believe it was a bed n breakfast.
The B&B is across the street. If you look at the link I provided, you can clearly see it's on the water.
Where Charles Street Brasserie was called Harbor Lights back in late 70s and I don't think it was ever a B&B since then, although it has had several different restaurants in it since then. @RoseRed is right.
Nearly all of my old favorites have long since been demolished... Evans, T's Cove, Oakwood Lodge.....
That was the one I couldn't remember any of the 6000 restaurants it's been over the years.
I never understood why they closed that Perkins. Or the Perkins in Wildewood.
Maybe after Nokelby's closed and they didn't get the 2am drunk breakfast crowd?

Believe it was Catamarans when I moved down this way 30 yrs ago. Stopped in there with family once, 3 other tables were occupied, the hostess seated us, we sat down, waited 20 minutes and no waitress..walked out. Funny, the whole time we were waiting, the hostess stared at us while having a smoke and acted surprised when we left.

Probably because it became too filthy to occupy with the kids running/working it more interested in sitting in the smoking area and doing nothing than trying to make it work. The L'town one, that is.
...I resemble that remark. We were working in a secure facility in Wildwood back around 1990 or 91...headed straight to Kim's bar every afternoon. Had more than a few "late" dinners at that Perkins. We'd also hold a monthly company officers meeting there...we'd all meet there really early, eat breakfast, discuss business, and still be in the office when the doors normally opened.
We probably crossed paths way back when.
I was always easy to spot...We probably crossed paths way back when.
We had a crazy cajun fella working with us on that TS project at the time..he was TDY from Louisiana. A real character from A-Z. We'd all roll in and pull up at Kim's bar and ole Watson would drawl out in that thick coonass accent: " Bawtendah...we need a couple cold beeyahs over heeyah...oh..yeah..and a couple for mah frens too.." He always ordered two right off...called the combination a "cruiser and a chaser".
