Prime cuts · Local seafood · Chesapeake City, MD
The steak is the star.Everything else knows it.
Every cut is hand selected. Prime grade beef, chosen carefully, cooked the way a good steak deserves. No shortcuts between the kitchen and your table.
The water is right down the street, and the menu knows it. Jumbo lump crab cakes, oysters off the half shell, she-crab soup. Local seafood sits beside the beef, not behind it.
Salt, heat, patience. None of it is fast. That's the point.
"The wine room runs along the back wall. Ask your server to walk it with you. It's part of the night."
