Restaurants near Taylors Island Wildlife Management Area

The restaurant is busy which is good. Our table was too close to another table and the person seated near the “aisle’ continually had her chair kicked by staff and patrons trying to get between her and the person behind her. That does not make for a pleasant dining experience. The noise level was very high so everyone had to raise their voices to be heard. Having music playing at that time was pointless and added to the noise level. I had a side salad which was boring as not much on it but lettuce and a few cucumbers. The blue cheese dressing was bland as well with few chucks of cheese. The fish tacos were good with a generous portion of fish. My husband had the lasagna which was good and a generous portion. The server may have checked on us once and we had to ask to have our water glasses filled.

Tonight, the standout dish was definitely the chicken chowder…filled with large chunks of chicken, potatoes and carrots…it was like a warm hug on a cold night. Pork chop…perfect as always. Salmon…perfect as always. Service…truly the best on the eastern shore. If you haven’t been to t before, just go…quickly…and enjoy.

Evan was simply amazing! He served us well and got our orders to the tee!

La Vela is always a winner in our book. Indoors, outdoors, or sitting at the bar are all different, but equally satisfying experience. Don't miss this hidden gem on Solomon's Island!!

AmaziNg decor and fun drinks and the food was delicious!
