Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Ocean City

We enjoyed our dinner at Lighthouse Sound. The atmosphere and view are so beautiful! Everyone devoured their meals! Cocktails were fabulous as well. Our server, Stephen was very attentive. Water and Iced Teas were always filled. There were 5 of us. To start the warm dinner rolls were a hit! Smelled and tasted Divine. There was no gluten free bread in the restaurant tonight but they offered me something else if I wanted anything. Which was very nice and appreciated. Beef barley soup and cream of crab soup were excellent. The salmon dinners with broccolini and rice were excellent as well. That’s my go to gluten free dish there. The men got the filet - nothing was left on their plates! One of our party got the ribeye - while it was tasty, it was also fatty. That was the only negative for the evening. Everyone was so full there was no room for dessert which sounded amazing. Although no gluten free options if you’re GF. We will definitely be going back to Lighthouse Sound.

The never disappoints here. Cocktails were just as much of the experience as the food. Be back soon!

What a beautiful, festive setting. Lily, our server, was a delight. The menu is creative and extensive. The beet salad was delicious with thinly sliced beets and radishes over arugula. Light, tasty dressing. The filet as cooked perfectly. It was tender and delicious. The meatloaf is a signature dish and it did not disappoint. Panna cotta for desert was yummy. Can’t say enough about this restaurant. Perfect!!

Lovely quiet spot off Washington St. excellent service. Varied, creative menu. Calamari app had light breading with a perfect light hot touch. The short rib parpadelle was heavy with a lot of shredded meat and a heavy tomato sauce. The bread pudding was delicious. Would highly recommend everything except the short rib dish.

We are never disappointed when we go for dinner at the Blue Moon in Rehoboth. We attended the Tuesday 3 courses with wine at each course for $49. The halibut, grits, peas and carrots were amazing. I had the fried green tomatoes as my appetizer - delish, and the pecan pie for dessert. The paired wines complemented each course. My husband had the butternut squash soup which he devoured and the pork chop as his entree. There was no meat left on the pork chop bone when he finished. He was too full to eat his dessert, which we brought home. We arrived about a half hour before our reservation and treated ourselves to a maple bacon old fashion cocktail in the bar - Yum! We also enjoyed the live music while we sipped our cocktail and enjoyed conversation with friends. It could not have made for a better evening before the holiday. We will definitely be back!
