We were seated right away- they were quite crowded but service was still extremely efficient and friendly. We started with cocktails that were strong and delicious! We all shared the calamari which was delicious! The crab dip was good- just kind of weird a huge dish covered with cheese - served with lots of bread and crackers. For dinner I ordered scallops Rockefeller- not what I expected- each individual scallop was topped with Rockefeller topping. It was ok , but I wouldn't order it again. One of us got baked salmon- it was very good. Another got a crab cake that was also very good. The baked potato was one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant!

The menu is extensive and you can find something even if not eating crabs. They have a large selection of apps, salads, entrees, and even desserts! We went for crabs and they were beyond delicious! Ordered the jumbo and the large. Very good size and reasonably priced for crabs and what we got. They do serve them with butter or vinegar upon request. You even get a warm water bowl with lemon for washing up when done. We also ordered the filet - yum, and the boneless chicken wings which were also tasty. The main focus was the crabs. So much so that I snapped pics on the way in and once the crabs were delivered I was elbow deep into Old Bay and couldn't snap any more. We also ordered dessert - crème brûlée and key lime pie. Do not skip dessert! Lots of things are made in house. Our server was absolutely amazing! I believe his name was Dale. Ask for him!!

Yesterday, my friend and I took a bike ride around town, and then stopped in for an appetizer and a beverage. It was about 2:30 on the afternoon on a Friday, yet there was a nice gathering of folks enjoying themselves. We were promptly served, and left alone while we browsed the menu. My friend ordered the blackened ahi tuna starter, which she proclaimed bright with flavor and prepared exactly as requested (extra rare). I chose the cream of crab soup, which might be the best I've ever eaten, full of huge lumps of crab meat, delicately flavored with Old Bay, but not too salty. I would've preferred it a tad thinner, but it was not too thick to enjoy. Since I love meatballs, I also ordered the Margherita meatballs, and they were delicious! Three medium sized meatballs, tasting like your Italian Nonna made them, with a rich Sunday sauce and a sprinkling of parmesan. Yum yum yum. My friend and I also decided to splurge on a plate of onion rings, neither of us having had them for a long while. They came out overdone (or left under a lamp too long) and were burned around the edges. One bite and yuck. No worries, our bartender said she'd get them to make us another plate. The second plate came out looking perfectly, and we enjoyed a few, however, they were rather bland and lacked some flavor. Nonetheless, our experience was delightful and our dissatisfaction with the onion rings was not enough to take off a star from my rating. Havre de Grace is a charming small town at the base of the Susquehanna River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. Come visit, browse the cute shops, and stop in Coakley's for some delicious food, expert cocktails and local energy.

He is 22 years old, had a valid government-issued ID, and we simply wanted to buy him a celebratory drink with dinner. Instead, the evening turned into an embarrassing and frustrating experience. Despite the fact that our son is legally of age, the restaurant refused service because his ID was horizontal instead of vertical. The date of birth clearly showed he was 22. No such policy was noted anywhere on the website when we made the reservation. We asked to speak to the manager. Rather than handling the situation with professionalism or even basic courtesy, the manager was dismissive, condescending, stating that "most everyone changed their ID over the day they turn 21", as if the situation is his fault. We understand businesses have policies and staff need to verify IDs. But there is a major difference between being cautious and being unreasonable. A valid ID is a valid ID. What made the situation far worse was the attitude we received when we respectfully asked for clarification. Worse, the manager stated (falsely) that there was a county law in Harford County that governs this. There is no such law. This was supposed to be a joyful family celebration. Instead, the mood was completely ruined, everyone left upset, and what should have been a memorable dinner became memorable for all the wrong reasons. Extremely disappointing customer service and management. On top of all this, the restrooms. Urine everywhere in the men's rooms. Clogged with toilet paper. A mess. I am told the ladies rooms had tampons unflushed sitting in toilets. Very unclean. This once great place has gone downhill. Significantly. The food? It was, ok. Best I can say on that.

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more Good food and a great time. This hibachi place sticks out above the crowd. We walked in and were warmly greeted. The restaurant is overstuffed with decorations, from gorgeous Japanese drapes to modern kitsch like a claw machine. The fare is standard for a hibachi, but cooked very well (and I particularly liked that the rice wasn't too oily). The portion sizes are also HUGE, including for the kids sizes! One thing that stood out was that you could get noodles in lieu of rice. They are slathered in teriyaki and are a nice change of pace. But where they stand out the most is in service. We ordered sake bombs for two. The hostess set them up, played a drum for us as my wife and I competed, and the winner won a light-up rose. They engaged both the kids and adults during the dinner show. They had to-go boxes at the ready without us even needing to ask. And everyone came away feeling happy and VERY full. The price is also right. So 5 stars is earned by this place.

Every town, burg, or community - however large or small - should be the proud possessor of at least…read moreone... Bistro, that is. A cozy little restaurant that serves up delightfully delicious food in a decidedly casual setting. And in Havre de Grace, The Vineyard Wine Bar fills this niche with a subtle sense of style. As the name suggests, wine has played a significant role in Vineyard's obvious success. So much so, in fact, that not only does the restaurant sport a superb compendium of vintages by the glass and bottle, its lunch and dinner menus are also divided into categories - Light Bodied, Medium Bodied, Full Bodied - that correspond to specific types of wines. Yes, wine is definitely the name of the game... But don't let that fool you. The kitchen also has a great deal to say... and all of it good. The food here is excellent in every respect, as is the service. If I lived in HdG, I have absolutely no doubt that I would be tempted to dine here every day of the week. The Vineyard is everything a great bistro should be - and then some. But I begin to digress... As you have undoubtedly surmised from the above remarks, our dinner here was an extraordinarily satisfying experience. My dining partner and I began by sharing the Bruschetta Trio. Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that begins with grilled bread topped with garlic and olive oil and then adds a variety of toppings. In this case, the finishing touches consisted of a luscious garlic spread, sundried tomato and basil pestos, melted mozzarella, and house marinated tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. While most incarnations of bruschetta may be consumed manually, Vineyard's substantially succulent variations on the theme (as you will note from the photograph above) demanded the ministrations of both knife & fork and were well worth the effort... Incredibly and unforgettably delicious. As we moved on to what would be considered the entrée or main course, options were numerous and varied... from Cornish Game Hen to Crispy Skin Duck... Venison to Dakota Steak... Lamb Vindaloo to Pesto Bucatini... ... On this particular evening, however, matters piscatorial appeared to take precedence. My dining partner was absolutely ecstatic with her Tuna Bites. Which is precisely what they were... diminutive squares of blackened tuna luxuriating in a Creole remoulade (a creamy, mayonnaise-based sauce originating in France). A definite "wow" factor at work here. On the other hand, my Mango Glazed Salmon was equally up to the mark... First of all, it was wild caught, which I much prefer (with rare exception) to the farmed variety. Secondly, as with most species of fish, salmon tends to be prone to both over and under cooking. Here, however, it was perfectly prepared - cooked through but still moist and succulent at the core - superbly complemented by a slightly smokey red pepper coulis (a smooth sauce made from puréed and strained fruits or vegetables), and companioned by lemon & herb risotto and roasted asparagus spears. On to the wine... With regard to both taste and texture, tuna and salmon are certainly among finny fare's heartiest representatives. Thus, despite the oft-quoted dictum, "Red wine with meat, white wine with fish," and the gentle urgings of our server in that direction, I have always found that salmon and pinot noir are - somewhat akin to lamb and red Bordeaux - a match made in heaven. And, in this instance, the 2022 Lundeen Mon Père Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley proved to be a perfect match for my companion's blackened tuna bites as well. Dessert was a special treat. Naturally, many of the usual familiar sweet endings were present and accounted for. And, given the superior quality of the cuisine thus far, I had no doubt whatsoever that they would have acquitted themselves with suitable aplomb. For some reason, however, my dining companion and I were both drawn to the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake (pictured), which we decided to share... and, which, as it turned out, proved to be one of the high points of our evening. This was an intriguing amalgam indeed: The sweetness of taste being more influenced by the former; the firmness of texture by the latter. It is - if you will pardon the seemingly psychological digression - what we might consider a type of "gastronomic Gestalt," in which the whole is greater than the mere sum of its parts. In other words, the components of Crème Brûlée and Cheesecake have been combined... and from this fascinating combination there has emerged a new dessert that is even more desirable than the components have been individually. Well... call it what you will. I just know that it was so incredibly delicious that I would return at a moment's notice just to indulge my taste buds once again.
