    Swordfish
    Molly W.

    The theme is so fun for Tolkien fans! The panoramic views of the bay are beautiful but be careful around sunset and bring your sunglasses! It gets BRIGHT inside. The service was excellent, shout out to Tim! The food was average for a fine dining restaurant. The steak was overcooked and the fish was under seasoned. It was just okay for the price. The dessert and cocktails were great though! If the food had been seasoned a little bit more and if the steak had been cooked properly this would have been 5 stars. But overall it was a good experience and we'd probably return.

    Our party of 7 came for dinner on a Saturday night at 9pm. We were celebrating my friends bachelorette and my birthday. We were greeted and immediately seated upon our arrival. Our server was quick to take our order and share drink/food specials. bread with butter was provided for the table as a starter and it was fresh and warm. I ordered the Macadamia Crusted Salmon as I was looking forward to enjoying seafood by the water. The salmon was fresh and flavorful , it hit the spot after a long day of driving and activities around Ocean City. Food came out quick and everyone we encountered was very polite. I would recommend this place especially if you're looking for a more upscale experience while in Ocean City!

    Amazing dinner experience celebrating a birthday! They had a happy birthday sign on the table which was a nice touch. The bread basket was incredible. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. All of the food was amazing and we enjoyed the cocktails as well. The ambience was wonderful and we enjoyed sitting next to the windows overlooking the bay. Overall the perfect restaurant for a special occasion

    This place has the best sunset view, and the best most eclectic menu of this past week in Ocean City! Our old friend, who has done very well for himself, offered to buy dinner at the best restaurant in Ocean City, Maryland. I am no fool so I quickly consulted with my Yelp Elite peers in Ocean City and found The Hobbit! Boy, was this a terrific choice! The appetizer selection was unsurpassed in creativity and flavor. The service was first class all the way, we could not have asked for higher quality care by our service team. The view from the dining room was extraordinary and the sunset was spectacular. Parking was free and easy. There is an impressive selection of house-special cocktails and mine was delicious, (24 year-old Mccallen Scotch whiskey) The halibut special was extremely wonderful with late sweet corn and peppers! My chocolate desert was huge and fresh and delicious. My three old friends all raved about their meals! If you happen to be in Ocean City, and you love an epicurean celebration. you cannot do any better. Make a reservation the word is out!

    Fantastic experience. I've had this on my list for a while and it was great experience! I recommend making a reservation if you want to try The Hobbit! The highlight of the meal were certain the lamb chops in fact I would two orders next time as my meal! The scallop potatoes, gandolf salad and steak were also scrumptious. The drink were great and views fantastic. I will certainly be back!

    The Hobbit was a wonderful choice for an upscale birthday dinner. Everything was excellent! We snagged a last minute reservation after a cancellation due to weather and thankfully it held out for us as we sat outside. The view was great! Food was incredible, even starting with the fresh rolls (of course we got a refill). The crab soup was lovely and catch of the day (halibut) came with corn, bacon, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Duck breast was done very well. Cocktails and mocktails were wonderful. Our server was excellent and we appreciated the birthday sign :) will return next time in OCMD!

    Beef carpaccio
    Elizabeth D.

    By far the best restaurant in OC. I have never had steak so good in my life, I got it blackened and it was cooked to perfection. The beef carpaccio is out of this world. Mary's delight for dessert is a must.This is my favorite place to go too!

    "Polish Dirty Thoughts" specialty cocktail

    As a long-time frequenter of O.C., I've been coming to The Hobbit for years and have never been disappointed. My appetizer personal favorite is the Lollipop Lamb Chops--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Close seconds are the Smoked Beef Carpaccio and the Elite Baked Oysters, both of which are consistently delicious. When it comes to entrées, I highly recommend the crab cakes and the filet mignon. As for drinks, I'm a huge dirty martini fan, and the "Polish Dirty Thoughts" cocktail (stuffed blue cheese olives) is to die for. The gluten-free options here are outstanding. All the dishes I've mentioned are gluten-free, including the crab cakes. The atmosphere is top-notch--elegant and upscale with gorgeous views of the bay. I recommend coming at sunset for a particularly spectacular view. The service is excellent; the staff are kind, helpful, and welcoming, making every visit a memorable experience.

    First class dining experience! Vern & Alyssa took very good care of us! (As did Reilly at the bar!) We had a beautiful table by the window, overlooking the bay. We started with the beef carpaccio which was delicious. My wife had a perfectly grilled filet, medium rare & I had the swordfish special. Again, perfectly cooked. We look forward to our next trip to The Hobbit!

    Drink Menu - So CREATIVE

    Love this place !!! Food, Service, & Ambiance outstanding. Have eaten Inside, @ at the Bar, & Outside on patio. Fresh Catch of the Day was a bit pricey for the portion size ($59 for maybe 4 oz Swordfish). That being said, it was delicious. Never had a bad meal here and highly recommend

    LOVE this place! We always make it a point to come here while on our annual OCMD trip. The entire staff is beyond hospitable, which anyone can appreciate. Our server was Katie and she was fantastic. The food is always top notch. I ordered the Swordfish and wow ... what a portion and what flavors! Love the views of the bay and perfect for pictures.

    Everything here is what you would expect from a fine dining establishment. From the time you are greeted to the presentation last bite of dessert every moment is enjoyable. The staff is very professional and attentive, the food is scrumptious and perfectly portioned (except desserts which can be large), and the cocktails are well crafted and if you prefer wine they have a well laid out selection. There are great views of the Bay from anywhere in the restaurant but your window seating is optimal and if you are looking to capture one of those tables make reservations early. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion.

    My partner took me here for our anniversary dinner. We called in same day and was able to get a last minute reservation from a cancellation. So I would recommend making reservations ahead of time during busy seasons. Matt our sever was friendly and attentive. They added a happy anniversary card to our table which I loved. The crab cake was delicious! I also enjoyed our dessert and food. All in all a beautiful restaurant for fine dining in OC.

    I have been here a couple times so far and that is not enough. Sadly, I live over two hours away so…read moreonly get in during my ocean city trips which I wish were way more often. Last summer was my first visit after seeing some friends recommend and following them on social media. We had their longboard wings, veggie wrap and jerk chicken wrap. Everything was DELICIOUS! On Wednesday of this week I stopped in for lunch with my dog and we sat on the 'boardwalk' which is what they call part of their outdoor section. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They offer a water bowl and a complimentary piece of bacon for the pups. My dog was thrilled as you can see by one of the pics =) On this visit I tried the wrinkled green been app and the St. Croix chopped salad. Both were very good. My dog ordered the kids burger plain with no bun. He had no complaints! I stole his fries which were yummy. Luke was our server on my most recent visit. He provided excellent service! He even helped me gain some more insight on bringing a large party there later this year. He got me in touch with one of the managers and I am currently coordinating with them. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in OC and can't wait to come back in a couple months!

    Cream of crab soup was rich and filled with just enough chunks of crab meat…read more The Baja fish taco with flour tortilla was not bad. The only flaw was that the sauce they put on it made the fish a bit soggy on the majority of the deep fried fish.And the batter was a bit bitter. The citrus shrimp taco with flour was good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The toppings and seasoning blended very well. The cabbage gave the taco a great crunchy texture with each bite. The tacos were accompanied with chips. Alex our wait staff had a pleasant and friendly personality. He was also able explain the menu items in a helpful and informative manner. Imani another staff was very personable. I like the atmosphere. A upscale casual dinner with a beachy feel.

    We have been to Fast Eddies a handful of times and have always had a good, if not great experience…read more Two weeks ago was a different story. We arrived around 6 on a Saturday night and the place is busy (it always is). We are greeted in an ok time, it took longer than ever before (and we've been there when it's been busier). The young lady greeted us, took our order and left. We ordered boneless wings, fries, crab cakes, and soup. She came back about 5 mins later and said they sold out of crab cakes. I get it's the off season, but there really is no off season at Fast Eddies. So we ordered something significantly cheaper from the menu. When the food came out, it was just ok. My boneless wings were way overdone and the crab burger was just ok. When the check came, it seemed to be a little high, like she never adjusted the pricing from the crab cake dinner. We never received the itemized receipt and after she dropped the slip to sign, we didn't see her again. So we just signed the receipt and left, as we had plans to get to. I don't know if we'll be back to be completely honest.

    Great food and pub fare. We live in OC and food is more here but we don't care about price as…read morelong as a quality meal. Fast Eddies is both high quality and reasonable. Good drinks too.
