Hey Dean:
Thanks for taking the time to pass along your reviews.
Never been to the Harborside but hit the Captain's Galley from what i heard here and it was worth the ride so i might have to make a trip now to the Harborside.
Antipasti sure does hit the wallet hard. Your party was $42 per person well for a real good meal worth it and from what you said it was that good.
How were the crowds over the holiday? From what I saw on the web cams looked packed down there.
Glad to hear you could fit in a trip this year and best of luck to your wife and her new job. ( I think I remember that is why you were going early this year if not my mind must be slipping)
Enjoy the rest of your Summer and thanks for the reviews again.
I could use a crab cake right about now!!!!!!!!
Ok, here it is a couple of months earlier than I would have liked to presented it but none the less we had a great vacation over the memorial day weekend, the weather was great as was most of the food, here is a brief run through of the places we ate....
Friday - Antipasti. This place was by far our favorite last year, and it was even better this year! everything was perfect, I could easily go on and on about how great the food is here, but unless you go there I still don't think I could do it a justice... Only thing with this place is that it is NOT cheap! the 6 of us (wife and I + our 4 kids) ate there and the bill came to $254.00 + tip.
Sat - Harborside bar & grill, (in west ocean city). Long wait for a table, but then again it was a Sat. nite. Other than that the food was excellent! I had the Wahoo, my wife had the crab cakes. I loved mine & loved hers even more! I was really surprized with this place, I guess I was thinking it was a place to get an Orange Chrush, and maybe something to snack on, but I would say the crabcake was as good if not better than the Captains Galley.
Sun. - Fausto's Brick Oven Bistro. New for this year, this place is located inside the Howard Johnson's on the boardwalk. Fausto has taken pizza up a notch to gormet level. With out a doubt this is some of the pizza I've ever had, the pies are all cooked in a brick oven so they are nice and crisp! Decorated inside like Antipasti, while serving up great pizza at a fair price, this place was a hit with us. I believe the 6 of us ate there for less than $70.
(we had 3 pizza's, & 2 appetizers)
Mon. - Bonfire. I know I gave this place a bad review, and in my heart I really didn't want to go back, but everyone wanted buffet, and Horizons isn't open during the week, so we gave it one more shot... Much MUCH better this time, we must have just hit it on a bad night last year.....
For lunch, we ate at the Holiday Inn suites (were we stayed) every day, it was fairly good, and the price was right, and we got served at the poolside, so I guess we couldn't really beat it....
