I'm going to have to try that Hideaway place across from the Pier when I get back. When they first opened Monello and I went and it was burgers and mozzerella sticks, but it appears they've changed it up and become a real restaurant.
So what are the good SoMD restaurants now?

Vera's is still there. Can't speak for the food but it's still open.

Last time I was there (couple years ago), it seemed like it was 100% Sysco food.
Question...opinions about Captain Pat's on 3 Notch across from Pax River?

It was a fun place with good food. I also remember the Frying Pan (soft crabs cheap), Solomon's pier (also good food) The Firehouse Crab House and a few others on the Calvert side of the bridge.
I will disagree about the Pier. The food has always been mediocre, at best.
Was only average at best every time I'd gone there.

Thank you much,had been considering taking Anita there for dinner one of these days.ICaptain Pat's! They cook seafood like I cook seafood. I've never had anything there but oysters and scallops but it was just like eating at home and despite what you may have read about my adventures in cooking - my fried oysters and scallops are always gone the next day. And they have really good hush puppies. And very cold beer. And good crab meat at reasonable prices.

I left the area in 1986, it wasn't bad and one hell of a place to party late at night. I docked after crabbing for a few hours, drank a bit, bsed and went back out on the water and crabbed some more. Divorce followed but I sure had fun......................

Nope, I know it's changed immensely but even back then I liked it. Rt4 now goes all the way down to the Pax. I was nestled in the state park (literally). 5 miles from the Navy rec so I could splash my boat at any time, deer and turkey in back yard, turkey shoots every week at the Legion, cheap beer. What wasn't to like EXCEPT no satellite or cable at that time?
Well then, you probably shouldn't be giving restaurant recommendations then.
Only been there once a LONG time ago and never been to the other.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. The last time I was in there, the food was cooked to perfection. It's not gourmet, but it doesn't swim in grease like some seafood places. I hope you find it as satisfying as I have. Very casual dining and good food.
Pat Wathen is good people too...one of my guys works on restaurant equipment on the side and Pat is one of his friends/customers.I don't think you'll be disappointed.
