Came here on one of our first nights in town for dinner. Staying nearby this is situated back from the main road on the bayside. Very bright and clean looking - I remarked it reminded me of a Ropewalk but on a smaller scale. Funny enough after researching - it's owned by the same company. Started with the caprese salad to start. Standard fare - very good and just simply executed. For my meal I went with the crab cake sandwich that comes with green beans and carrots. The veg was very fresh and tasted great. The crab cake was also impressive. Really liked it and would recommend it. For dessert - the chocolate pie (can't recall the name) was very good - but quite small. Our waitress was very nice - friendly and allowed us to wait for the two in our party who were running behind without pushing us. Would recommend this place if Ropewalk is too busy and you're looking for something in the same vein without being overly crowded. read more

I cannot stress this enough. The food is the worse thing I have ever tasted. Ocean City office FDA needs to come here and revoke their food serving license. It's clear the chef went to the ACME next door, bought all the frozen food and and microwaves it before bringing it to the table. False advertisement to the highest intent. Their jumbo doesn't look like their pictures. I would rather off myself than have to take another bite. We order 7 different plates and all 7 are dog shit. Dog kibble smells better. Atmosphere is nice though. read more

Visited on vacation, had a great seat by the water. Nice view and atmosphere. Service started good, but after we placed our order, we didn't see our server again. I enjoyed my dinner, the scallops were delicious. Unfortunately I didn't have a drink the whole meal, wanted to order a cocktail, but never had the opportunity. My family member ordered a salad with house dressing, dressing didn't come with salad. Everyone finished their dinner before he could even eat his. My rating: Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Cool place, but the service definitely needs to be better. read more

The good: Amazing ambiance outside with plenty of seating. We love the bayside views and the Adirondacks right on the water! Drinks are pretty good. Service isn't bad. The seafood trio and jumbo shrimp apps are great. The not so good: The chicken chesapeake was an abomination. Overall, the entrees were disappointing and lackluster. The ugly: We came here because there was live music advertised from 4-8 pm. No live music at all--pretty disappointing. The creamsicle frozen drink was terrible and our server told us none of the frozen drinks can be made non-alcoholic. Womp. Overall, would likely only come back for drinks and live music--if there IS any!!! read more

Dining here was one of the highlights of our trip to Ocean City. Luckily we chose to dine outside and enjoyed the breathtaking water view. The food and drinks were delicious! I had the po boy and it hit the spot! The margaritas were so good I had 2! Shout out to Connor who took excellent care of us. This will be my go to spot when i am in Ocean City. read more

I am so glad a friend recommended this spot, this is truly a beautiful spot on bayside ocean city. I met up with a friend for a couple of drinks, and we sat on chairs and watch the sunset, it was so beautiful, so peaceful. I also got the mozzarella sticks, it was HUGE for an appetizer, and delicious. The service was smooth and relaxing. This is an excellent spot to bring family or friends, it is kid-friendly with a playground. And it is also romantic, with a sandy shore. I look forward to coming here again. read more

We went on a Wednesday at 5pm and were seated right away. I'm not a big seafood person but they had tons of options. We were seated outside and it was really cool to see the bay while eating. Definitely an experience. Just really hot this day. Also be prepared to spend a lot of money. Checks cannot be broken up in groups- all must pay on one bill. Waiter was great. read more

Got sat immediately on this past Sunday around 6. The food was okay. The buffalo cauliflower was a sizable portion and tasty but the cauliflower inside it was very soft. The shrimp salad wrap was a little over oldbayed. The crab cake sandwich was fine. The view was gorgeous and service was pretty good. read more

I ordered broiled, salmon salad, and it was not good. Salmon was gooey and fishy. It was not broiled for sure My husband had jambalaya and he was not impressed either. It was very watery and bland. The location is great The bartender was very nice and attentive read more

This was our first visit .... And I have to say I'll come again just for the creamy bisque. The taste and texture were over the top. The place had a nice view of the bay. And inside/outside seating. I took a picture of the bisque, sorry I couldn't wait! I had the fish sandwich my way. Loved it except the roll was uninspiring. It kinda felt and looked stale. The wife had the bookmaker salad which she said was very good. The shrimp were nice and big but could've used some color from the grill. I'd imagine they are steamed plan. Overall a solid 4 but could be a 5+ with some minor modifications. The service was good by Susan L! Either way ... come try the bisque.t read more

Saltwater 75 - The book maker salad and my empty bisque bowl - Seafood Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Mice running amok. We were there last night sitting at a table on the beach and several mice were running around. Despite being shooed away, they kept returning, running around under the tables. I know there's mice everywhere but the fact that they were desensitized to people is a little too much. This is the first time I've seen mice in Ocean City and don't know why it was so surprised to see them running thru the sand. I do know that any future sunset (bay side) establishments that I visit in the future will have me keeping an eye out for them. read more

Great ambiance right on the bay. Multiple seating available inside and out. Parking is free, but the lot can fill up quick. The Buffalo Cauliflower is fantastic! The flounder fish was ok, tasted fishy and had to add lemon. The salmon dish was good. Great selection of specialty drinks as well. Service was good and attentive. read more

I visited Saltwater 75 twice while we were vacationing in OC. Servers were wonderful. The calamari was off the hook; had a slight kick and crispy! Also, the warm feta dip was delicious as well as their fried chicken sandwich topped with feta. Totally recommend! read more

Food not great overrated pricey ravioli was warm not tasty salmon teriyaki hard not tasty will not return

(June 2026) Last summer, I bookmarked this restaurant for a future trip. Fast forward one year later to last night. My wife and I stopped in for dinner. I ordered the salmon teriyaki with rice, green beans and carrots ($30). My wife got the shrimp tacos ($18) and the coleslaw for an up-charge. Our dinners were fine overall with nothing truly standing out. Kiersten, our server, was friendly and took good care of us. I also liked the nautical atmosphere as it's similar to Ropewalk. read more

Terrible food! Nothing made to order. Nothing seasoned. It was like frozen food heated up. Orange crush was good. Nice su set but food is awful read more

There were mice running all over the place and when we said something about it nothing was done. At least a manger could've spoken with us but nothing. read more

This was our first time dining here. On a positive note the restaurant itself is beautiful. The location on the water is one of the best views you can have for a meal. I felt like the service was lacking, as our waitress barely was seen. We ordered seafood bisque (very good), French onion soup (mediocre), and several other apps. The food was ok, but nothing that I will have to go out of my way for. I would say this restaurant is best for the views with a drink in the evening for sunset. read more

A good time. We went at around 6:30 on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. I got pesto penne with grilled chicken and it was good. The real draw wasn't the food despite it being good. The real draw is the views and the experience. There's live music, children's play area, and unobstructed views of a bay sunset. Will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant has some of the best views on the bay. Unfortunately the food doesn't compare. Very disappointing when we asked for wine glasses and we got plastic. Over priced not worth it just for the view, The second time for lunch we walked out after one drink because the bartenders attitude on the beach. The third time we ordered sandwiches for lunch the flounder was horrible and burger was decent. Don't waste ur money read more

Kinda crazy it says they're open til midnight but when we just walked in "sorry our kitchen is kinda closed"

Again, on our 30th Anniv trip, we looked around for a restaurant and we decided to give this one a try since it was in the same place we used to go to - BJ's. The parking lot was full, so I was a bit alarmed at our chance to get a table. I was wrong. The place is HUGE and has a wonderful view of the water's edge. We sat inside by an open wall to view the scenery. BEAUTIFUL. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower and it was scrummy - def 9/10. Our server could have been more vocal and personable, but our dinners were delicious, the portions good, the atmosphere was clean and open, it wasn't too loud (though at high season, it could be with as many tables as there were), and the price was decent. Will come back for sure. read more

Come for the view , stay for the happy hour specials! Seriously , they have good bar food and attentive bartenders .This review is for the upstairs bar. read more

Four of us went for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Lovely ambiance. Drinks were good. We ordered a seafood chowder- it was barely warm. It had a strange chunky texture and looked a bit oily. Taste was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. The rest of our food was a little more successful: a trio of seafood, some lobster sliders, a mozz and tomato salad, and fried cauliflower were all decent. Truffle fries were another miss. Five of our plates came out together, and we had to chase the waiter down for the last one. I have a feeling he's still learning, so we cut him some slack. I don't know if I'd return - none of the food was outstanding - maybe just for drinks outside overlooking the bay. read more

My husband and i absolutely love it here. We found it last year and have been back every trip since. We love that the service is fast and friendly in a beautiful location that's usually not as busy as some places closer to the boardwalk are. We have favorites for food, personally the lobster ravioli, fried mozzarella, and regatta shrimp. We will continue to be back! read more

This review is based on a small takeout order . I ordered the salad with shrimp . It was ready quickly and the staff was very friendly. The salad itself was a huge portion with a lot of steamed shrimp on it . It could have been so much better had they chopped it up a little and left the cheese off that covered the entire top of the salad. read more

Came here to try something new. We were sat fairly quickly outdoors along the bay which was very nice. Waitress was super attentive and friendly. We all tried food outside of our normal comfort zone which was fun to do. The menu had options for everyone. I think we will be back! read more

Ordered Calamari and Rockfish. Both were over seasoned with very spicy seasonings, so much so I couldn't taste the food. Ordered two side of mussels. It came with onion and green peppers. A person in our party is allergic to peppers. No mention of green peppers on the menu. 8 of the shells did not open. Any cook worth their salt knows you don't serve shellfish when the shells don't open! Waitress was nice but never offered to take anything back and make it right. $300 later the manager received my opinion of this really nice restaurant with good food done wrong and the server who wasn't accommodating at all. read more

The view was beautiful! Come here during sunset and you really get to enjoy gorgeous views while you eat. The food was good, just very small portions. I got the lobster ravioli and it came with only four (4) raviolis. I get it if the food is insanely high quality but with pretty average flavors you'd think they'd make up for it in portion sizes. Our waitress was kind and helpful, it was really busy but she was still attentive when we didn't have enough silverware for our whole party and she brought some more out. Would recommend for a beautiful sunset dinner accompanied by some good food. read more

consistently good! no reservations - go expecting a wait. they said it would be 45 min for our party of 3 and it was 10 min max. this place gets very crowded. large parking lot but it tends to fill up. indoor, rooftop, patio, and true outdoor seating. inside is kinda boring but outside they have sand and a tiki bar and it's on the water so it's good vibes. the food is kinda pricey for what you get but it's the beach, and it's more for vibes. they have delicious french fries (specifically the truffle fries!) and their seafood is good. despite it being busy, our service was good and our food came quickly. a nice spot for happy hour or dinner with a view, but don't expect a michelin star! read more

Saltwater 75 has a great location along the bay with very pretty sunset views. It's not super fancy, but it's laid out in an aesthetically appealing way. The food is also very good. Their scallops dish was about as good as the most expensive fine dining scallops I've had which cost more than twice as much. The other food was also excellent. It's not fancy food... You eat by the bay with a small pitcher as your water cup. But, several dishes are comparable to what you'd get at a very high end place. Our server was nice. The service wasn't super fast because diners kind of want to lounge there and take in the sunset, but it wasn't slow. They also have fun beach-y cocktails that are crowd pleasers but polished up a bit so that they're proper cocktails, not syrupy sweet concoctions. All in all, a great place. read more

Excited to celebrate two birthdays at this new restaurant in the old BJ's location. We were seated right away, party of 8 on Thursday evening. The sunset views were gorgeous and made for wonderful party pictures, the dining room was very loud. We ordered 4 appetizers: Calamari, tasty but skimpy; Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower, plentiful and yummy; Caprese, flavorless; and, Truffle fries, ample and savory. The entrees: Scallops: atrocious, ZERO flavor, served on a bed of barely cooked succotash with spoonful of cold crab from a can; Lemon Pepper Cod: meaty portion, ZERO flavor; Braised Short Rib: delicious; Filet Medallions: undercooked and had to be sent back but was enjoyable; Penne pasta: was told they were out of this item after the order was placed so the vegetarian diner ordered several sides and was satisfied with selections; Hamburger: sufficient; and, Steamed shrimp: large prawns, just okay. Unfortunately, the seafood dishes didn't meet expectations at all. For the price point, and given that we're in Maryland, I was really surprised by the quality. Save your money and go somewhere that actually respects the local seafood reputation. read more

We had such a great time here and the food was amazing! Came as a group of 4 and we started with mozzarella logs, which was a special. The logs were cooked perfectly and well seasoned, the cheese had the perfect pull, and the marinara sauce was really good. I also ordered a dirty banana frozen drink which was not overly sweet, and I liked that. For dinner I got the salmon teriyaki. The salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The pina colada rice was some of the best rice I've ever had! It was light and fluffy and you got that hint of coconut flavor. And the green beans were cooked perfectly, although they did need just a touch more salt. Our hostess and server were very nice and personable. The ambiance was nice. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

The concierge at our hotel recommended this place to us. It was overall fine. The inside is very spacious. There is a nice drink menu with several cocktails and some local beer selections. I love the tiny pitchers that the waters came in. I got a painkiller that was a tad watery, but still scratched the itch. We tried the feta dip appetizer, which was decent; I just wish they gave us a little more bread to dip into it! I got some of the corn and crab bisque; this wasn't bad. Not a silky bisque like I'd expected, but I like a little texture, so it worked for me. I'd get this again. The buffalo cauliflower felt like it was missing something. Maybe it was light on the buffalo sauce or maybe the bacon dust was just gilding the lily and distracted from it. My wife's po' boy sandwich was made better when she asked for some more sauce to go with it. So overall, nothing bad. The food is decent. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

Saltwater 75 is in a great location only a block from the ocean and right on the bay with lots of indoor seating and a great outside "beach" bar with tables set up in the sand overlooking the bay. We were on vacation and looking for a place to enjoy an Orange Crush on Happy Hour near the water to cool off as the temperature was in the 90s. Consensus was to try here as we received the recommendation from a relative in the area. Crushes were good, although the happy hour price was $2 off crushes - a little on the pricier side compared to many of the restaurant/bars we've frequented. After our Crushes my dad and I switched over to $3 bottled Yuenglings. It seems as if they did update their happy hour offerings as their website now advertises 2 for 1 drinks at the bar which I'd prefer over $2 off. My cousins ordered Dirty Bananas which they liked enough to order round 2. We also ordered Fried Mozzarella and Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower to share - both of which were hits. We liked the Mozzarella Sticks so much we thought there'd be a chance they're made and breaded in house - bartender confirmed they're dropped off frozen from a truck. The outside beach bar is very well made and sturdy with concrete bar tops and lots of wooden trusses in the roof. The bartender was nice to us. We were the only ones at the bar for a while so he hung around to chat, had a great sense of humor, and was very down to earth. I would definitely visit again as it's in a great location and I'm sure has a fun atmosphere at night, but not being from the area and having so many other places to try, I'm not sure when I'll be getting back here. read more

We made a reservation for 9 people 3 weeks in advance and when we showed up (10 minutes early, mind you, and willing to wait) were told we had no choice but to split into 2 tables. Which ruined our usually wonderful last family meal during our annual family vacation. To say we are disappointed is putting it unbelievably lightly. We usually love this place. What's the point of a reservation made very much in advance if it backfires. read more

First visit to Ocean City, MD & a very nice dinner at Saltwater75 6/03/25 6:30pm. Although quite popular, it was very unhurried at the upstairs bar. Nice & breezy on the inlet. Lots of seating upstairs & downstairs. Plenty of parking. The bartender was Andrew R and he took our drink orders. Square Knot margarita ($10) tangy, not sweet & house Pinot Grigio ($7.50). We had Casino rock oysters app ($19)-3 nice fresh oysters, lemon & Tabasco sauce to kick 'em up. Our dinners were shrimp Po' Boy dressed ($18) perfectly cooked, w/ Remoulade-a generous serving & broiled Lemon Pepper Cod ($28) - excellent, served w/ nice side of grilled veggies. Dinners were served promptly & hot. Note: Maryland has a food & beverage tax and a MD alcohol tax on top of their state tax (total tax $8.35). Open 7 days a week 11am-12pm, kitchen closes at 10pm. Happy Hour is M-F 11am-5pm bar only. A very nice first impression. Thank you Andrew R and kudos to the kitchen staff. Will recommend & see you on our next visit to OC, MD.
