    I took my mom here for her birthday on Sunday evening and we had an amazing time. Dominick was our server and he was an absolute delight. He checked in on us often but didn't hover and had a very positive attitude. He made us both feel like VIP guests. We ordered the Chesapeake Crab Dip when we ordered our drinks and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. Our meals came out super quick as well. We both loved what we ordered. I had the Steak & Crab Cake and my mom had Crab Imperial). The steak was cooked perfectly and practically melted in my mouth. The crab cake was full of lumps of crab meat and the mashed potatoes were outstanding. My mom loved her Crab Imperial too. For dessert we had the lemon tres leches cake and bread pudding, both were amazing. A million thank yous to Dominick and Phillips for making my mom's birthday dinner so special!
