    Serafina by the water is a charming place with lots of outdoor tables along the Middle River. We were seated quickly when we arrived and were pleased with the view and atmosphere. We all had pasta for dinner and especially liked the rigatoni a la vodka and the ravioli special which was lobster and crab. We had the tiramisu and profiteroles for dessert. The service was good and very friendly. We will definitely be back if in the area again!

    Our experience at Shooters was excellent. Our table of 4 had a 4pm reservation to be seated by the water. We only waited a couple of minutes and they took us right to our table. Jeremie our server was attentive, engaging and and any request our table had he didn't hesitate to accommodate. I would ask for his station again. The food was delicious and fairly priced. We look forward to our next meal there.

    Mastro’s never disappoints. The food was OUTSTANDING! By far was the best food this time out of all the times we have been here. I had the Seabass special with King Crab, My husband had the Pork Chop. Both we’re out of this world. The manager even stopped by to check on us after everything. Truly an experience worth every penny.
