Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Exmore-Eastern Shore

It took quite some time to get our food and the steak was cold and had to be sent back. They did send another one, but really was good once they had a hot food. The burger was over cooked but good. Usually I have a perfect dinner there, but last night was not a good night for food.

We love to eat out, Love good food and trying new places all over the country! This was such a Gem!!!! The Ambiance and the View were Amazing! The service was good. Everything we ordered was seasoned and cooked perfectly and we ordered a lot! 3 appetizers, a salad, 3 Entrees and 2 rounds of their crafted cocktails. Only downside to the evening was the ridiculous amount of TAX! There are 4 seperate Taxes… on the food and drinks even before we added in our 20% tip for our server! The taxes they charge are excessive! We have been to lots of upscale places in the area and never encountered such high taxes. However we had an amazing time!

We went the day after Valentine's Day. When I made the reservation, I ask if we could order off the menu since we already had a Valentine's Dinner scheduled for the 14th. The person on the phone said that we could order off the menu. When we arrived, we were told only the $100/person dinner was available. Our server checked with management, and we were allowed to order off the Valentine's menu ala carte, plus one special entree they could prepare. Our steak came a little overdone after I asked it to be prepared on the rare side of medium-rare. Moody's Sticky Ribs were excellent, six meaty ribs billed as a shareable and a great value. The service was excellent as plates were cleared promptly and we were left to enjoy our wine and cocktail. I highly recommend the experience, the sticky ribs, and will try the Heritage Pork Chop next time. One wall has fencing from a pig pen, and the place is well decorated and has a nice ambience. I encourage you to look at the website (read the story) and menu before you decide to go; there is more seafood and beef dishes than pork, and they claim to be sustainable.

On our pre valentines day dinner our four dinners drove 1:45 minutes to our go to special occasion, Aldos. We were 20 minutes early but immediately greeted and seated, and server reached the table within a minute. We were offered beverage choices and appetizers which arrived quickly and provided with menus and info on specials. Sabrina was a personable, knowlegeable, well trained and eager server who represents the high values of the restaurant. Everything was delivered to the table timely, hot , well prepared and presented. Salmon, veal and veal parmigian were all excellent and focacia bread and mussels were great accompaniments. The meal concluded with apple pie, peach cobbler and creme brulee. Our experiences at Aldos over 20 years have always been good to outstanding but this experience was the BEST ever. Thank you for a total dining experience and look forward to next visit.

On our trips south, we always make it a point to stop at the Island House
