About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Caroline's Table is a unique farm to table restaurant in the heart of the Eastern Shore. Chef Ken Zellers sources locally grown and harvested seafood, proteins and vegetables and works magic to elevate them into a memorable dining experience. The restaurant is housed in a historic building that has been lovingly restored. It was formally the town doctors house with his office in a small adjacent building. In addition to the main restaurant, THE SIDEBAR is located in the small building and serves up more casual fare including house made sourdough pizzas, fresh soups, salads and unique charcuterie boards. Reservations are encouraged for Caroline's Table and can be made by calling/texting the restaurant directly at 410-490-4495. Please note that The Sidebar is open only seasonally and closed in the Fall/Winter months.

First time at Caroline’s, it was a last minute idea and it did not disappoint. The shrimp toast appetizer was a large portion and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The duck confit and pork ribeye are a must try.

I have been watching them on social media for a couple of months and decided to take my wife to a late lunch early dinner! Cozy and quaint tucked in what could be labeled downtown Denton. The restaurant itself a retrofit in an existing home has been decorated warm and inviting but not pretentious . Starting with a bottle of Tempranillo moderately priced, not often found on smaller list but this list was very friendly and well balanced. Starters were a major challenge as every choice offered something to the imagination. We opted for “Shrimp Toast” Perfectly prepared white shrimp piled on toasted sour dough in a rich bath of light cream and shallot sauce. Not an ounce of disappointment in that choice! Dinner was just as delightful, a perfectly presented Maryland Crab cake , and from the sandwich list a jumbo lump grilled cheese on hearth bread ! Props to the chef as I will return for this item alone! This is a gem hiding just off 404, make the trip!

We enjoyed our first visit for a late Saturday lunch. Food was fantastic and we enjoyed the ambiance. We were no rush, but service was slow, wine was forgotten, water refills were infrequent. And, it wasn’t all that busy. Still, an enjoyable meal.

Attentive staff and delicious food! First time for hubby, I have been here before. Mini crab cakes as appetizers had lump with hardly any filler, if at all! Tasted fresh-you know what I’m talking about. Hubby liked the GF Farmer’s Pasta, and I liked the Mexi-Cali Meat Loaf that came with real mashed potatoes and shaved Brussels sprouts. Oh yeah! Can’t do much about loud people sitting near you. We will definitely be back!
