If you don't mind the prices, the new Westlawn Inn in North Beach is pretty good. It's not exactly the kind of place you'd sit back, drink some beers, and have the kids run around in though.

It won a recent statewide award for one of the best new restaurants.

Stoney's in PF is closed up. The one in Solomon's isn't open yet. Only bet is Broomes Island.

So I was there at PF Stoney's yesterday (Sun.) and they are deffintely up and running. All 4 locations are open at this time. 2 on Solomons, PF, and Broomes Island.

Agree with the Dry Dock recommendation - very good, great service, fabulous location/view/atmosphere. Reservations needed if you want a table inside. You can eat at the bar or on the outdoor porch without reservations, but be prepared to wait a bit on a busy weekend.

CD Cafe - good food/service, no view. They have 3-4 specials every night, usually fish. They cook fresh fish better than anyone in the area. No reservations accepted, but you can wait at the Back Door cafe, which is a little bar in the back that serves a different (but very good) menu of small plates, and very good drinks.

Stoneys - good, but typical fried seafood place, good drinks. Same menu on Broomes Island and at Kingfishers on Solomons, but Broomes Island has the better view/location. Service is ok, but not great. The new Solomons Pier does serve food. It has a limited menu for now, and will be expanding once they get up and running. They just got their occupancy license late Friday afternoon, and had it opened and staffed amazingly fast. I'll wait until they have the full menu up and running before I eat there. I think Stoneys takes reservations.

Clarkes is fairly good, but pretty much just like Stoneys, but not as good for most entrees. Don't get the fried shrimp, its terrible. You'll need a reservation on the weekend typically if you want to eat outside. At least that is what we've faced the two times we've gone there recently.

You are right, I think the orginal plan for a night club up stairs (aimed at somewhat of a older crowd) or whatever fell through and now it is going to be dining..... from what I am told.

I heard it was going to be a banquet hall but due to fire escape regulations, modifications need to be undertaken first.

I feel like a traitor to say it, but Boomerangs has the BEST ribs, and BBQ'd chicken..

AND I don't like Stoney's.. (let the beatings begin).. Went there last summer, the last time I went there, and the scallops tasted like they had been frozen for 3 or 4 years, totally tasteless, and the crabcakes were mediocre at best, was not impressed and have not been back, except for a birthday bash a little while back..

Captains Table had fried Oysters that were disgusting.. and one bad experience usually isn't bad unless it's your FIRST experience, then you just assume that's the way it is, and you never go back..

Try CD Cafe, and agree with Zahniser's ....

I don't know about the fried oysters at Capt.'s Table or Zanhiser's, but for the most part, I agree with the above.

I do like Clarke's Landing, but I haven't been there in a while.

Stoney's food isn't necessarily bad, all of the time. A lot of it is quite good. However, the owner is a waste of human life, IMO, and the service sucks out loud.

Being that this is not the first page and I can't scroll down to read the original post, I can't recall if you specifically asked for seafood. If not, Asahi is awesome!

Everything they mentioned above. I would also include Bearcreek on the Halfshell over on St. George's.

They do a mixed buffett for $29.99 they serve up nightly (10-12 items). It always has snow crab and a mix of other stuff (they are great about changing it around from what I understand). Last time I went, the rockfish was great along with excellent clam chowder on the buffett.
