"Why did it have to snow tonight?! We're stuck in this hospital...when we should be following that…read moremonster's trail," Roberto DaCosta (Sunspot) shook with anger as he expressed a desire to seek revenge against who or what attacked their teammate, Danielle Moonstar, leaving her on an operating table on the brink of death. "Waste o' time, Bobby, you won't find the critter there," Sam Guthrie (Cannonball), the oldest of the teenagers that make up the New Mutants, responded, "It'll be here." "What are you talking about, Sam? Explain yourself!" "Stands t' reason, ever since we've known her, Dani's had a special fear of a spirit bear she said murdered her parents. None of us really really gave the story much credit, after all who believes in magic?" Sam paused oh so slightly before continuing. " 'Cept Illyana's a real witch, an' we fought demons and sorceresses. Maybe Dani wasn't kidding." Sam shifted his tone to reveal his evidence. "Illyana tells me Dani spent the last week or so in the Danger Room fighting bears! T'night, she walked out into a [winter] storm, alone, armed with a bow an' arrows an' wearing war paint! And got mauled. We were wrong t' doubt her. We should'a listened, we should'a seen the signs." Whenever my wife and I visit a restaurant or bar for the first time, whether we are there by ourselves or--in this case--treated to a meal by our favorite neighbors--I can count on her to sort through, heed, and pick up on every nuance in every aspect of culinary service that is there to be sensed. In this case, at the Dockside Restaurant & Sports Bar at 421 Deale Road in Maryland, the food was mostly wonderful, and the prices were more than reasonable for this economy. What prevents Dockside from receiving at least four stars was primarily the service. Two orders of fries, one sweet potato and one regular, weren't hot; and although our waitress reluctantly brought one of the orders back to exchange it for a new batch, the fries didn't taste any warmer. Our other host ordered his crabcake lightly-fried, only for it to be brought out broiled. He still enjoyed it, but it wasn't exactly what he wanted or ordered. By the end of the meal, it became obvious that, if we return, we need to ask for Sarah, who, although she was tending the bar and wasn't even our waitress, still brought one of our neighbors a fresh cup of Pepsi Zero that she could take on our return trip home. Sarah also exhibited a great sense of humor, an attentiveness and an attention to detail, and, most importantly, remembered with pleasure our hosts, who have dined there frequently. Apart from the pumpkin cheesecake, which was so infused with nutmeg and pumpkin spice that even Linus from Peanuts couldn't have tasted the pumpkin, and the lukewarm fries, our meals were terrific. I devoured the perfectly-seasoned shrimp from the fried shrimp platter; everyone loved their onion rings and their cream of crab and Maryland crab soups; and we all agreed that the crabcakes, boiled and fried, were scrumptious.

When we arrived we found parking in the crowded lot. But, it was around 7pm so that worked out. Once we parked we walked inside. Its definitely decorated in a busy way, but totally made sense for the theme. We opted for outdoor seating and were seated immediately. Our server was amazing. She was always on the ball making sure our food came out, drinks were filled and we were basically taken care of. In fact every employee we encountered were great from hostess to server, to bar staff. I opted for the cream of crab soup and the Maryland crab soup doubled up together. I tell you, do it! It was so good! Best of both worlds hands down. Both of their soups were fantastic! We shared the green goddess avocado dip. It came with 6 chilled shrimp, naan dippers and the creamy dip. I highly recommend this appetizer especially on a hot day. The cheesy crab toast was a nice change from the typical crab dip. I opted for a crabcake, potato and seasoned vegetables. This was a great option for the day. My friend enjoyed salmon on top of a salad. We finished up with some sweets. They had a lovely lemon blueberry cake along with the fried dough with powder sugar. They were very light. . We loved all of our food. Seriously no complaints one bit. If your looking for a place to go and enjoy a good meal on the water and delicious food.. this is the spot.

My wife and I decided to take a drive and ended up in Galesville at Pirates Cove. We sat outside in…read morethe bar area, which is a really nice place to enjoy a meal right on the water. The hostess seated us at a high-top table, but unfortunately, the table was very shaky. As we were getting settled, we also noticed that the music coming from the speaker directly above us was pretty loud. When our server came over, my wife asked if she could turn it down a little, and she was happy to do so. We ordered our drinks--my wife had iced tea and I had an Orange Crush which was very good. I asked about the crab cake prices and was told it was around $45 for the dinner, about $28 for the sandwich, and around $22 for the crab ball appetizer. When our server came back, my wife ordered the shrimp special. I wanted a BLT with a crab cake added, so I asked how much it would be to add one. I was surprised when she told me it would be $40 to add the crab cake, on top of the $17 BLT. At that price, I decided to order the BLT and the crab balls instead. I put two of the crab balls on my sandwich and we ate the other two separately. Overall, the food was good. My wife really enjoyed her grilled shrimp and rice. My BLT had a nice amount of bacon, but it had way too much lettuce and only one small slice of tomato. Once I removed some of the lettuce and added two of the crab balls to the sandwich, it was actually much better. The crab balls were good, but I still have a hard time understanding $40 to add a crab cake to a $17 BLT. I could see paying around $12 for a nice-sized crab cake added to a sandwich, but $40 seems extremely high. The best part of the experience was definitely the location. Sitting outside on the dock, enjoying the water and having dinner was very nice. Afterward, my wife and I walked out on the dock and watched the sunset. That's the kind of setting that makes you want to sit back and stay awhile.

West End Grill, Naptown -- Unforgiven Edition…read more It's a hell of a thing, killing a plate of green beans. West End happy hour. Adam behind the bar slinging John Dalys for $6.75 like Little Bill forgot to outlaw liquor in Big Whiskey. Then dinner rode into town. Chicken Cordon Bleu: 4.5/5. Moist as hell, ham and cheese doing exactly what God and France intended. Only crime? Needed more sauce. Not enough to hang the cook, but enough to knock half a star off the bounty. Then came the risotto. I believe it was forged somewhere beneath the earth's crust. One million degrees. Molten fucking steel. I tried to approach it. It threatened my family. No rating. By the time that thing reaches an edible temperature, Clint Eastwood will be smiling in a movie. But those slow-cooked green beans? Jesus. Sweet onions, what tasted like some ham-hock sorcery, cooked down until everything knew everybody else's name. I hit them with a dash of Tabasco and suddenly we weren't eating a side anymore. We were settling a score. Top-five green beans I've ever eaten. And understand something: I come from the South. Green beans aren't vegetables down there. They're a competitive sport. I ordered a second damn bowl. Adam kept the John Dalys coming, the happy-hour price stayed ridiculous, and when I asked his favorite movie? Unforgiven. Well, Adam... "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." Except tonight it does. Those green beans deserve five stars, a second order, and their own goddamn horse. Fork around and find out, Naptown.

I frequently dine at the Kitchen and you can always find me at the bar. Erin is one of the best bartenders in Annapolis and she can make you so many special cocktails that you would be pleasantly surprised. While I wish they had more liquor choices, they have the key ingredients. Hopefully they can continue to grow the liquor and wine listings. They have an arrangement of beers with local Maryland beers on Tap. As I've said in my previous short post, they do a sunset toast for everyone sitting at the bar. This has ranged from a toast of a special cocktail to a toast of a special shot of soup. It's pretty fun and it gets everyone at the bar talking. I won't lie, the food at the Kitchen when they first opened was okay. The Head Chef, Roshaad, has really made the meals fantastic. Just the other night, a woman to my right was saying how delicious the burger was. I frequently enjoy the wings while I'm watching the game. Their flatbreads are fantastic and their Chicken Sandwich is super tasty!

We started with drinks, a dozen oysters, and half a dozen clams on the half shell. The oysters and clams were smaller than we expected, but they were fresh and delicious. The drinks were good and definitely heavy pours, which we appreciated. Next, we had the PEI Mussels with saffron cream sauce. Most of the mussels were really good, although a few were overcooked. We also tried the Golden Miso Sablefish with wasabi mashed potatoes and charred baby bok choy. The fish was okay but a little bland when eaten by itself. I think it was intended to be eaten with the wasabi mashed potatoes, which helped give it more flavor. We do not normally order fries, but the truffle fries looked good, so we decided to try them. They were crunchy, well seasoned, and delicious. We ended up eating the entire order. The inside of the restaurant was nice, and most of the dining area was quiet enough for us to have a conversation without raising our voices. The bar area seemed livelier, but it did not make the rest of the restaurant feel loud. Overall, we had a very good dinner. The view, drinks, oysters, clams, and truffle fries were the highlights. The mussels and sablefish were not quite as consistent, but we still enjoyed the experience and would come back.

I think they'd benefit if the outside were brightened up or refreshed a bit and the parking lot could use some lights at night, BUT it is the "dark" horse. ‍ It's 5 stars not because it is a 5 star restaurant but it's everything you could ask from a local pub. The wings are crispy and medium sized... not small and boney but also not ridiculously big. Cooked perfect. I do wish they tossed them in sauce instead of pouring it on top, but at least they are generous with the sauce. Wing prices are great! $7.50 for 6 and $13.25 for 12. Always daily specials with things like fish sandwiches and such. I tried the gyro last time I was in and it was a lot of food and very good. Some nights there is a security guard in there who seems to be checking IDs and I guess handling any situations. I've never seen it needed in there, but I'm sure he's there for a reason and it's nice they invest in him so it does not fall on the bartenders. They have a video juke box to keep things lively on nights there isn't a band. Mens room is predictably awful for a dive bar and smells like piss. There's a patio out back and out front, if you want to get outside for a smoke or fresh air.
