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

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

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

Ya'll don't sleep on this one. We walked in on my birthday and sat at the bar. The most amazing and engaging bartender - Marshall - not shy about recommendations and very skilled in his knowledge of wine. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AMAZING! My very hard to please wife said that it was the best food that she had ever had. She had the short ribs tapas plate and I had seared scallops. My daughter had escargot and everything was incredible. Sam, the waiter was the best waiter I have ever had. He knew the menu and his recommendations were all spot on..it's a don't miss place in Ocean City read more

Excellent food. Lovely ambience. Matt was a great server and all the servers had great teamwork. Ordered the beet with whipped goat cheese crostini, cranberry glazed meatballs, and 2 different kinds of pizza. All were very good. I hope this restaurant lasts a long time. 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

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. The wine list by the glass is extremely impressive for the area, with some really nice options. Overall a great place and one I'll definitely be back to. 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

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

Food was outstanding. Had the truffle fries, short ribs to start. Then had chicken liver pate and arancini. Followed by cannoli's from Vaccaro's in Baltimore. Everything was delicious. Very busy but food came out quick and hot. Very, very good. read more

Opening Night review. Shrimp Crostini - one of the most delicious things I have eaten lately Clams in Brodo - weird but delicious broth, but the clams were very gritty Arancini - perfect as was the marinara Meatballs - lovely complexity of flavor and fab marinara Pizza - I only had a chunk of cheese and it was real, solid, great quality Burrata - fine, nothing special Short ribs - a little fatty but delicious Calamari - fabulous texture, not a ton of flavor, you need the marinara, which is delicious Squash Blossoms - server said they ran out of them during the soft opening and they are hard to source. Manager said they have them, but the prep work is too much, come back tomorrow and she'll make me some. This is the number one reason I picked Liberatore's for my birthday. I know they are a pain to make, because I make them. Perhaps they should be a special, and not on the top right corner of a printed menu if they are not always available. The place is LOUD. We struggled to have a conversation. The server spoke only to my husband who had to then convey to the other 3 of us. It was weird. She also reached across the table, over our food to clear a plate (which I would have happily handed to her) and a piece of calamari stuck to her arm. ew. no. You can take the rest of the plate now. Revolting. Food was absolutely well above average. I have no doubt they will be tremendously successful. I just wish I went on a different night. read more

Just ok. Pasta under cooked. Service was slow. We will return after it is opened for awhile

Had such a good night at Liberatore's. We grabbed seats at the bar and honestly... amazing food, great vibe, awesome staff; already planning the next visit. Food was ridiculous. It's tapas-style with a few big plates and small pizzas. We tried the brussels sprouts, meatballs, Caesar, white truffle pizza with arugula and prosciutto... and the chicken parm. Yes, we got more than enough for tomorrow too. No shame. Drinks were great. Such a fun night. Our new fave! # #tapas read more

What a treat it was to enjoy the drink special expresso, which was the best I have ever had, and we ordered the Shrimp Crostini, lollipop lamb chops for our tapas and they were just amazing. It was so refreshing to have such good service, and our bartender Dennis couldn't have been better. Everything from filling up waters, removing plates, and refilling wine. We will definitely go back! read more

I'm going to start with the ambience, full of energy, cocktails, spot on, please ask for a blood orange crush without the sweetness. Now read the menu, but be ready to pace yourself, if you're loving food and enjoying the moment, try almost everything. Best waitress, Colleen. Love Life read more

Fantastic new spot in North OC. We arrived off-season during the 5 o'clock hour in a Tuesday. By 6pm, it was packed! The service remained stellar as was the food. Nice menu with a variety of dishes suitable for everyone; same goes for the drinks. Will definitely return! read more

Service, food, I would recommend. Our waitress Coleen was very nice. We all sampled small plates. Generous portions.

First time trying this new restaurant out. Food, drinks, and service were excellent! They don't take reservations but you can call ahead and get on the wait list as long as you're near by. My wife had a glass of Chenin blanc wine and I had the blood orange crush. Both excellent. We had the lamb chop lollipops, Burrata, crab balls, meat balls, lazy man shrimp, and truffle fries. If I'm being super critical, my least favorite item was the crab balls. This is Ocean City so you can get crab on every corner. To match the upscale of this restaurant, I would have liked them to be made with Lump crab meat and not deep fried. That said, I am definitely going back and can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu! Very glad to see a good restaurant succeed in that space. read more

$22 for Lollipop Lamp chops about 3 bites ,not that good .Had one beer check was $28 .Gave the bartender $100 bill .He gave me $32 change .I told him,the change was incorrect,he immediately replied my bad .Wont go back. read more

First of all we could not get on the wait list on line. But we went anyway . Hostess agreed that it was not working. It was an hour wait. The noise level was off the charts. We immediately left and went to Stations and saw at a quiet bar and had a very nice dinner. read more
