Great evening. Didn't have reservations but hostess told us that the upstairs bar didn't require a reservation and we could get a full menu options. Had dinner at the bar and it was fantastic. Drinks were great and the fresh oysters were over the top. We also had a few more bake/broiled oysters. Topped off the evening sharing a great dessert.Petra S,The bar areas and the cocktail waiting areas are hidden gems in our restaurant. You can get full menu options and even h e the choice of the bar menu in those areas. We are glad you had the chance to experience our raw bar... next time try one of our oyster shooters, the presentation is so awesome. We hope you get back sometime soon.Heather H

This was our first visit, but we have visited their sister restaurant in Fenwick Island, DE, and loved it there....so, our expectations were high. We need not have worried, as Hooked lived up to our expectations....First of all, our server, Kayla was very helpful...she knew the menu inside and out, and saw to all our needs or requests, promptly. For her app, my wife had the Corn and Jalapeno Crab Bisque, and she was all smiles about it. I had the Boom Boom Shrimp,,,it was very tasty, and there had to have been at least 1 1/2 dozen shrimp in the bowl. Joan also had the Burrata Salad with heirloom tomatoes, sweet corn, pickled shallots, mizuna, balsamica nd pesto. It was excellent. We both had the same thing for our entree...Pan Seared Scallops roasted corn and poblano, smoked bacon, cheddar grits, beer broth. There were 4 scallops on each plate, and they had to be at least 1 1/4 oz. each. They were tender, juicy, and ooooo soooooo sweet....The grits were also done to perfection. We both enjoyed everything about our meal.....there is plenty of parking in the rear....next time you're in O.C. give them a try.So glad you came to check us out, Mike! So thrilled to read that your expectations were set high, and that we delivered in every aspect! We appreciate your truly kind words about the quality of the food, as well as the service. We'll pass your compliments along to Kayla and can't wait to see you again next time you're in OCMD. We appreciate your recommendation to others! See you soon.

Craving some good sushi is part of the beach, so tried this place. Kids started with the Sparkling Peach sake, which they enjoyed, and I had a nice Pinot Grigio. Kids had a nice Miso soup. We shared the Alec roll, M-16, and Godzilla roll, as well as the spicy yellowtail roll and the mini-star roll, all FABULOUS! Ended with a bowl of the Mocha ice cream, wonderful meal in a former Perkins restaurant! Somehow the decor worked, it is very nice. $140 before tip with alcohol for 3 adults. Enjoy this place!

We looked and asked around lots for recommendations on good restaurants. There was a short mention of three restaurants grouped together away from the ocean side and more towards the western end of the bridge on the bay.While we were in the parking lot, I stopped a group of guys and asked them how it was, they gave glowing reviews.It was getting pretty late so we didn't know what to expect but I need to say EAT HERE! Wife had the crab bisque and Oysters Rockefeller while I had the Tomato Salad and the Crab cakes. All were amazing. Service (JESSICA B) was excellent, she took a minute to be cordial and make recommendations. the Cheddar Rolls were YUM... It's a little hard to find but very much worth the effort. They have some outside seating on the inter-coastal and inside seating.

I am sorry I meant to give your Bistro 5 stars which is Excellent. Because I enjoyed myself when I was there and I had the Best Reuben sandwich that I ever had, and the hospitality was great. No worries, and thank you for fixing that and taking the time to review us. Our family is happy you enjoyed your experience at Lizzie's and loved your REUBEN sandwich. We hear our guest say often "the REUBEN melts in your mouth". Come back again soon and we would love to thank you in person and serve you another meal. <3 <3 Cathie/Owner

It'sfun to find a small restaurant hidden in the corner of a shopping center that has food so good you better have a reservation! If you thought you should just get a house salad, better be prepared to share - it's very large, and it is so fresh! A salad and the shrimp and grits appetizer was more than enough for dinner! Speaking of which, do order the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were grilled to perfection, and the sausage slices added just the right touch of spicy. The lamb chop pops were on the evening specials menu, so look to see if they are available. If so, do not hesitate to order them. They were delicious. It's really a busy place, and we can see why after having tasted the food! It's well worth the trip to this unassuming corner of Ocean City.
