Suggested by Scotty # 1 Choice (30 years experience, knows his stuff ) from Belly Busters on 45 th street. Also great place for close to the beach Crabs and sub shop. SHARK BY THE BAY did not disappoint. We were Party of 6 incl a 1 & 5 year old. The hostess sat us to an already prepared table incl high chair with a nice view of fishing & sightseeing boats outside. Amanda, a mature experienced server did a commendable job taking care of us. She gave us warm rolls butter & a tasty spread included in the basket plus a complimentary melbatoast garlic aioli spread basamic glaze drizzle. We ordered appetizer half order of steamed shrimp in white wine, lobster, garlic & butter broth with garlic oil brushed steamed shrimp.. Worth the work of peeling them.. Shared with all. Since it was LOBSTER SPECIAL THURSDAY, ($5.00 off each LOBSTER DINNER BEWARE LIMITED AVAILABILITY) I ordered 2 of 1 1/4-1/2lb Lobster dinners with a wonderful side of squash & zucchini, Special mashed potatoes, melted butter & lemon wedge. PLUS LOBSTER fork, cracker, wet nap and extra napkins. Scallops for my daughter with assortment of vegetables Beast burger for 5 year old Bison elk boar wagyu blend/ fried mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, roasted red pepper, balsamic glaze, basil emulsion on Kaiser roll w sweet potato fries. Yummy. My wife had the Vegetarian herb Nadia eggplant Great side sauce Mandy checked back on us a number of times which shows her professionalism. Victoria (co owner) called me while I was on the beach to confirm our reservation & discuss some items on this unique MENU that Changes every day. That gave me a feeling of caring for your customer. Pretty Special A restaurant is as good as it’s chef In this case Executive Chef Jim Sambataro Inspired by & created through the vision of executive chef/Travis Wright Respectfully submitted Rich & Kathy Sachs Schwenksville Pa near King of Prussia/Philadelphia Rich former Red Lobster Restaurant Opening Mgr

Awesome and better prices than the high price tourist trap of ocean city. This is about a 15 minute drive from main area of ocean city

The food sucked. They try to put on the Ritz but fall way short with the food. Who ever heard of blueberries with oysters? And pickled onions on top of your fried oysters? My wife got their eggplant and it wasn’t cooked enough. Won’t be going back.

Dinner was good. I feel they mislead a little on the menu about the Lump Crab cakes. Didn’t see much lump at all. Then again I am use to Box Hill crab cakes that are nothing but lump crab meat.

Crab cake was great, beast burger was fantastic, mussels, Brussels, & fried green tomatoes were all a hit. Apple Crisp was good. Limited fish/seafood entrees. It’s a tad pricey, but good food & service

I don’t mean anything negative about the 3 star for atmosphere. It’s great food in a mostly bar scene. This meal was some of the best food I’ve ever experienced. The staff was personable and attentive. I had the most incredible crab cakes ever. If I could afford it I’d eat here many times.
