Had the shrimp, eggplant, meatballs and arancini. All delicious and shareable...eggplant is only a single piece. Ambience is great as well as the service. Great wine selection as well. Surprised to find this gem in a strip mall. Will definately come back on our next trip to OC. read more

Libertorie's has filled a gap in OC that I was unaware was missing. The bar is gorgeous. Has a very dark and sexy feel to it. The bartenders are very nice and make sure you are well taken care of your entire visit. They even have extensive knowledge of the wine list and were able to help me choose. Don't even get me started on the food.... It was incredible. So flavorful but not in an intimidating way. The tuna carpaccio was OUTSTANDING. For my dinner I got the scallops special. Delicious. read more

Great food and service. A major downside is the volume of the music. Difficult to have a conversation. read more

Still delicious. Tried some different items this time, Salmon tapas, Brussel Sprouts and my friend had the short rib rigatoni entree. Salmon was delicious. Brussel sprouts definitely need to be shared! Great portions but I thought I could eat by myself & after a while it became too rich (devine) and a LOT in 1 sitting. The rigatoni was excellent and my friend kept talking about it the next day. Our waitress, Nikki was fabulous & accommodating, 2nd time at her station. read more

With a party of 6, we were able to enjoy the wine bar and restaurant ambiance at a long table with a divider for privacy. The wait staff was helpful with great, requested suggestions for tapas. read more

Cute place with good service. Drinks were great. The tuna carpaccio was exceptional as was the grilled artichoke special. The salmon with risotto was overcooked and lacking flavor. Would return and stick to the small plates for sure! read more

Outstanding Italian Tapas restaurant. Highly recommend! Creative cocktails. Mini crab balls were outstanding with a delicious sauce. Crab imperial, stuffed shrimp and cheesy meatballs were delicious. Lamb was lean and seasoned and cooked perfectly. Really enjoyed the rum cake and key lime pie. It is a very noisy restaurant but incredible food and service! read more

We had heard a lot of buzz about Lib's and gave it a try last night. We had such a great experience! First...a big shout out to our server, Jenny! She did an amazing job of turning dinner in to an experience. We ordered several tapas and Jenny sent just a few plates at a time with each plate pairing nicely with the other. We were never overwhelmed with too many plates on the table at the same time and the rate that she had the food sent out meant we were able to enjoy each plate while it was nice and hot out of the kitchen. As for the food...it was all delicious! My favorites were the truffle Parmesan fries, shrimp crostini, meatballs and the scallops with risotto. Lib's fills a void in OC dining and we will definitely be back soon! read more

Tapas were excellent. We had the scallops, shrimp with crab meat, lamb lollipops, and the short rib pasta. Every single thing was delicious. read more

Our server Abbie was very knowledgeable about the drinks and food. We had amazing tapas, New Zealand wine, pistachio martinis, and dessert.

The food was phenomenal, and the service was outstanding. Abbie was our server, and she was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations, all of which were spot on. We each ordered a cocktail, and they certainly didn't skimp on the pour. For small plates, we shared the crab balls with a delicious sauce, truffle fries, and crispy Brussels sprouts. Every dish was stellar. We each ordered a different salad, and the portions were so generous that we could have easily shared one. For entrées, we shared the following- the hanger steak, which was absolutely amazing and something I would definitely order again. The shrimp crostini was rich and delicious, while the seared scallops were very good, although by that point we were so full that we couldn't fully appreciate them. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, which was disappointing because everything else was so impressive. The only downside was the acoustics. The restaurant can get quite noisy, making it difficult to hear conversations. Other than that, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we look forward to returning. read more

Much better than the Liberatore's back home! This is much more like Lib's Grill...iykyk. Our server was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was a 10/10. The only fault, which is forgivable, is it's a bit crowded with tables. Oh, and stay away from the espresso (Baileys) martini. read more

First time here, but we will be back. Matt did a great job of taking care of us while helping train a new person. You can do small plates or entrees. We did some tapas with salmon, eggplant, short ribs & beef carpaccio, while one of our group got the short rib rigatoni Nice collection of wines & specialty drinks as well. Like I said, we will be back! read more

My daughter and I enjoyed a spectacular dinner at Liberators in Ocean City. The shrimp and scallops ceviche was phenomenal -- fresh, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. We also ordered the meatball tapas along with a few other selections, and every single dish was outstanding. Everything we chose came from the tapas menu, which made for a fun, shareable dining experience, and not one item disappointed. Our server, Matt, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful, which made the evening even better. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience, and we absolutely can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent service and food! Jenny was great! Recommendation meatballs, calamari. Chicken parm, fish special was amazzing!

I have been pondering this review for a little bit of time. It is nice to have a Liberatores in Ocean City as I know they offer great cuisine and beverages. The staff at this location is still undergoing training however it was difficult to tell because everyone was very professional and knew what they were doing. Ian behind the bar is a master and we experienced the best espresso martinis I think I ever had. The food was absolutely amazing very tasty and fresh. The one improvement that could be made is that the manager that was on site was not very friendly at all, unlike the rest of our staff. We noticed that she was consistently, frowning, and almost came across as angry, and I only saw her smile or talk to anyone when she saw a couple she must've known. That does not set a very friendly environment for patrons and it was a good thing that her staff what's so warm and inviting. We will definitely be back. read more

First time there ...will be back . Service and food great but music too loud to have a pleasant conversation which is part of the ambiance of drinking wine and enjoying the delicious tapas read more

Just wanted Libs to know they rocked it last night on Valentine's Day! Busy as usual but service was efficient and of course friendly. See you again soon! Had Shrimp Crostini, Salmon Nicola and Bay Bites. Out of this world! read more

OK, this place is amazing! We always have a plan to eat in Ocean City. Includes Spain, wine bar, The Hobbit possibly sunset Grill, and a few others. But, we had every dinner except one at Liberatores this vacation! Nothing was lacking. The service was amazing. The host kept checking on us, and the food was beyond!And, and keeping with Olive gate 2025, they had amazing vodka martinis, and no charge for either being up or the blue cheese olives. Overall, I cannot highly recommended enough. read more

We know it opened last year so we thought we would wait a year before we tried it out. We have only been to the Westminster location. I checked the menu before went and noticed it had been scaled down to the menu I was use to. I understood once I arrived. It is small. Beautifully decorated with mostly high top tables and bar seating. Being elderly, I asked if they had regular tables. They had three right by the window. Drinks were great, fried calamari and my margarita pizza were also great. My husband had the pork chop, but found the glaze on top to be too sweet. Ended up taking it home to give to my son-in-law. The cannoli was also delicious. The service was fantastic. The restaurant does not take reservations, but they do have a waitlist. I can see it being quite crowded during the summer and will wait till off-season to return.. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. First time here and it will be our go-to place. Service A+ (thank you, Mary!). Food A+. Ambiance Adults!! Noisy but not overly so. High top tables only. Cheesy meatballs. Arancini. Tomato and mozzarella salad. Hanger steak. Lemon drop martini Malibu bay breeze. All perfection. We will be back! read more

Service, food and drinks. Great place for adults! Our waitress was absolutely fantastic! We had meatballs, short rib rigatoni and caesar salad. All excellent! read more

Yea it is Amazing! Dont know if you have been to Liberatores for Tapas yet? We went tonight and had an awesome night. Small dishes allow tasting many things. Eggplant rolatini, short ribs, cheesy meatballs and zbaglione. Best we've had in OC. Great service. Owner described his fave dishes and their prep. We will go there again. Service by Nikki was excellent. read more

This is a fabulous new restaurant in OCMD. When you walk in, you think you're in a swanky Manhattan club. The bar is beautiful. I've been twice now and it's my new favorite place. Each time I went the place was jumping! They're killing it! Tapas food is great to share. The burrata melted in my mouth. The meatballs are wonderful. The drinks are made to perfection thanks to Marshall's drink menu. Try the pear sangria! It's autumn in a glass. The staff is on point. I can't say enough about it. read more

This place is a must visit to dine in the OCMD/Fenwick area! The food, service, and ambience was fantastic! Sit at the bar it's very entertaining, Marshall one of the bartenders was a pure delight and a magical cocktail maker! read more

Food was excellent and the service was first rate. The ribs were succulent and the clams were cooked to perfection.

This is a wonderful experience in a non-descript strip mall. Once you walk in, it's like stepping into another universe. Chic decor and wonderful food. But what really sets this restaurant apart is the warm welcome you get as soon as you step in the door. All of the staff exude genuine hospitality. Highly recommended! read more

Very alright nothing special. Service 4/10 food 3/10 drinks 5/10. Very mediocre at most

Fabulous food, atmosphere and service. We met the owner of the week before it opened and see him there frequently. He and his staff are very attentive to details and make every customer feel welcomed and valued. Highly recommended! read more

It's a charming bistro setting with attentive, well trained servers. I wanted to love this place as I am a big fan of their Carroll County locations. For me the wine and cocktail prices are way too high $18 to $20 for a glass of wine and same for many cocktails just too much. Food prices about right for a beach town. The small plates were really good and I would go back and just enjoy the tapas. The big plates were okay but not as exceptional as I was expecting. read more

Fantastic service. Great drinks. The bartenders were friendly and engaging. The margarita pizza, the calamari, the meatballs, and the Liberatore salad were all delicious. The smoked old-fashioned was excellent. I can't wait to go back. read more

Liberatore's is a great neighborhood spot with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. Kyle in particular was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better.

Tried this place for the first time in the off-season. Place was really nicely decorated for the holiday season. They do not have advanced reservations, but they will take call ahead. We only had to wait about five minutes for a table, which was no problem. The menu consists mostly of small plates and share bowls, but they do have some entrée size meals. Wide and I split the prosciutto wrapped dates, the meatballs and the burrata and tomato salad all of which were excellent. The one entrée that we did get was the braised short rib rigatoni, which was very flavorful. Also got the rum cake for dessert which was surprisingly good. All the food was very good, staff was super friendly and helpful. I would put this place on par as far as fanciness and cost with one coastal, liquid assets, and our harvest. Definitely not a place for kids or large parties. read more

So lets just start by saying this is hands down OCMD's best dining experience! This isnt a restaurant, it isnt a bar......it's the definition of a dining experience! Let's start with Julianna , welcoming, pleasant and down to earth. She conversated , mad recommendations and was beyond humble. Every drink that came from the bar was poured perfectly blended extremely well and hit the mark and never missed, Marshall is a true bar professional. The service staff was impeccable and attentive. Ambient was our server, coming from the hospitality industry myself, she is top notch! Any establishment in ocean city widhed they had Abbie , but she is Team Liberatores! Beef carpaccio, exemplary! Shrimp crostini beyond amazing! Chicken liver pate....best ive had in a decade! Escargot on par with some ive had in France but their take is beyond good! The short rib is melt in your mouth beautiful. The hangar steak is by far one of the best carne options in all of ocean city! The Caesar at Liberatores is hands down the best ive had out of the "top" restaurants in all of Ocean City .....it can compete .....and beat the top on the eastern coast! I could go on we had probably 6 or 7 other options and the culinary team NEVER MISSED! That is unheard of. The executive chef Chris blew my mind and exceeded my expectations and the whole time all he could do was talk about his staff and the rest of the team...humble, passionate and enthusiastic and it showed through with the offerings! As a classically trained chef and culinary school graduate and culinary instructor (Le Cordon Bleu), Chef Chris humbled me today with his story and his passion. We just booked another week in 6 weeks ,invited my family and my in-laws with the highlight being Liberatore! I cant wait to come back....... Wether your out for a dinner, a romantic date night, an engagement, a business meeting or any other event ....if your in ocean city this is the place to go! And the prices are unbelievably affordable for what this place has to offer! Put this on your destination list! I dont even want to post pictures because I want you to experience it for yourself! read more
