Fantastic food, perfect weather, and beautiful views. This was a fantastic day with fantastic food and service!! The crab cakes were truly jumbo lump and incredible, and the Maryland crab soup (tomato-based) was perfect! Our server was wonderful.

The lone bartender trying to serve the entire place on her on on a busy weekend did an outstanding job. Management needs to schedule her help on weekends with multiple weddings.

The Boardwalk Café is an amazing space right on the water. Food and Drinks are fairly priced and very tasty. Will be back soon!

We never got to try Boardwalk Cafe. We have been to Rod & Reel plenty of time so I decided to book with Boardwalk Cafe since it was outside. We booked on June 29th, 4 days before the scheduled dining date. We reserved a table with them for July 3rd to be able to eat outside and watch the fireworks. I got a call on July 3rd telling me that they had to cancel our reservations because they decided at the last minute to have an concert, and if we wanted to keep the reservation that we had to purchase tickets to the concert at $30 per person or we could pay $10 to come 30 min before the fireworks but not have dinner. It was the day of the fireworks. It just seemed very rude to wait until the day of. My family was very much looking forward to the display and I couldn’t fathom paying $120 for us to just be able to keep the reservation and then have to buy dinner on top of the fact that there was the call for potential rain. Just a disappointing experience overall. I’m not even sure what the food tastes like.

The server was good. The food was not that good. The shrimp appetizer had no seasoning and the fried shrimp was nothing but batter and burnt Cooking oil needed to be changed
