New Solomons Restaurant
- Thread starter RoseRed
- Start date
There's a new something opening where Navarro's flopped and also a BBQ place on 235 before you get to the base.
China Harbor "The Restaurant" moved to Patuxent Plaza (think 7-11) in Solomons into the space that used to be China Harbor "The Carryout" - it still has the same owner and great food.
I overheard the owner of China Harbor talking about the new restaurant. She will be operating it. The restaurant plan was to be a fine steak house along the lines of Ruth's Chris - but maybe not quite as expensive. This was several months ago, so I don't know if that's how it actually turned out.
If any one tries the new restaurant, give us a review!

I haven't been to "Jethro's" in Solomons, but I did eat at a place at the Amish flea market in Hugesville that was called Jethro's some time ago. It was the best b-que that I had ever had.

I have to add that St. James Deli on the corner of Rt. 235 and Mattapany Rd. has some delicious pork bbq sandwiches. 
77 Charles Street in Solomons
My hubby and I went there about 2 months ago only because most of the other restaurants had a 1hr wait that night. Not impressed. They definitely did a good job on the decor, but the food is overpriced and average. It is a wanna-be Ruth Chris type menu. Not much of a selection--one chicken dish, 3-4 fish/seafood dishes, and a few steak dishes. There wasn't much of a choice for vegetable side dishes. They claim that they closed for the winter season because of seafood selection and pricing. I think it may be for other reasons.

I agree completely with your assessment. We had a positively bad experience at the place. Not only was the food not good, but it was way overpriced, and the waitress kept trying to push stuff on us. I was wondering if she was paid by commission.
We definitely will not be going back.
My problem with this area is that there are far too many fancy-restaurant wannabes, where you get the impression that the owners are far more interested in making a profit than they are in cooking a good meal.

I'm not sure I remember the names, but here are a few that have personally irritated me:
77 Charles St. (or whatever)
Riverside
Alice's
Navarros (which has since gone out of business, not surprisingly)
Cafe de Artiste is OK, but definitely overrated.
I don't mean to be too negative about the restaurants here, there are also some really excellent ones, including Dry Dock mentioned above.
