The Hobbit is considered an institution in Ocean City, Maryland. Since 1977 when they first opened, it has evolved with the times including a move with panoramic views. You don’t get to experience fine dining, good service plus scenic views at the same location.

The address is 121 81st St. #101. Tel 410-524-8100. Website:

They have a great bar. I believe reservations are a must for dining. They open 7 days a week for dinner.

There were six of us for dinner. Perfect time for a gorgeous sunset at the distance. Drinks, small talk, laughter followed.

• 

An order of the Cream of Crab Soup was well received. Jumbo lump, Sherry and Old Bay; a Trifecta in my book.

• 

The Traditional Caesar Salad. If you want it gluten free leave the croutons out.

• 

A delicious Smoked Beef Carpaccio: cold smoked beef tenderloin, fried shallots, truffled horseradish sauce and capers. A delicate tasting appetizer or small plate like I chose.

Look at these Pork’s Duck Cigars…Duck Confit, garlic, and sour onion wrapped in pastry and fried. Finishing touches of cherry honey syrup and toasted almond. Can you share??

• 

A few orders of crab cakes which The Hobbit are famous for. No fillers whatsoever and just a sprinkle of Old Bay will do. Don’t miss them??

• 

Filet Mignon prepared one of three ways. Veggies of the day. They cleaned their plates; talking about the ones that ordered them.

• 

I love duck. Medium rare for me. This duck not only had a great presentation but it tasted just as good as it looked.?

• 

I had the Fried Green Tomatoes which were excellent. I apologize, Oops, forgot to take the photo. Take my word they were perfectly cooked.

Plenty of restaurants up and down the Delaware and Maryland coast. Love it when I feel that I can’t wait to go back again.

The Hobbit Restaurant is on Social Media and so is AboutMyBeaches. Check us out.

And until then, I remain.
