Wow, I pass this place all the time and I finally made it inside! The staff is truly amazing, I felt a real warm welcome when I entered! It's been in business for over 45 years! I ordered the Golden Tilapia filet! It was cooked perfectly and you get a choice of baked potatoe, rice of the day or roasted potatoes, I chose the roasted potatoes and these were the best potatoes I've ever had! You also get a choice of salad or soup! I got the clam chowder, I have to say that there wasn't enough clams in the soup! My husband had the sautéed jumbo shrimps, it was really tasty and very tender, not overcooked! The atmosphere was quiet and elegant, definitely will be going back! Our waitress Terri was very pleasant, helpful and funny!

Dover Straits provided a delightful dining experience. The ambiance was inviting, the service impeccable, and the dishes, especially the seafood, were fresh and flavorful. However, the rice was a little undercooked and the sliced potatoes that were offered as special is very greasy. Stay with their baked potatoes, you’ll never go wrong. Overall, still a truly enjoyable evening. This is our third time here. We travel from NYC and visit a dear friend who always brings us to this seafood restaurant for dinner. It's heartening to see that the place still thrives after so many years, and the familiar faces of the workers add a sense of continuity. However, it would have been nice if they could elevate the choice of music during dinner. Despite this, the overall experience remains enjoyable.

I brought my mom here for her birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The interior design is very unique and interesting and it has a very inviting atmosphere. Pablo, our waiter, was exceptionally professional and friendly, offering good menu suggestions and very high quality service overall. The food was delicious, we ordered a Maryland Softshell Crab appetizer, followed by a Lobster Bisque soup, and the main dishes were the Bouillabaisse Marseillaise for her and the Filet Mignon with Crab Cakes for me. Everything was cooked perfectly and had exceptionally good flavor. At the end, they brought out a slice of cheesecake with a candle for my mom, which was very nice of them. We will certainly be coming back when celebrating other occasions.

Solid old-fashioned seafood restaurant with a strong focus for rich and acidic dishes. This restaurant has been on my radar for years and what better way than to celebrate a special occasion with family. When you're on US-45 you'll be able to see the somewhat tacky crab pole standing by the restaurant with well lit signs indicating enter/exit with plenty of space to park.
Walking in, the reception and staff are dressed very well. There's ambient music playing, and it's at an adequate volume to chat. Freshly baked bread was provided with prepackaged butter. Service between dishes seemed somewhat lax, though it was likely not their usual rush hour.
We had their seafood sampler, which had some grill/charred salmon, calamari, shrimp, and scallops as an appetizer, then I had the white sea bass with lobster bisque and a side of rice to go with the entree.
Don't sleep on that squeeze of lemon! Many of the dishes themselves are very rich, but the lemon elevates the richness of the dish by introducing some acidity into the meal. The grilled salmon in the appetizer was very tender, to the extent of tongue cutting it by roof of the mouth tender. The bisque is very creamy, but can easily be undermined by the soup crackers. I ended up using the lemon from the seafood sampler and thoroughly enjoyed the bisque. The sea bass as expected was fairly light but complements well to the sauteed mixed veg and creamy rice.
Portions felt slightly inadequate at first, but made sense towards the end of the meal. I would not head here if I wanted to be filled up quickly. Overall an enjoyable experience.

We’ve go here occasionally, and this is a late review from one Saturday night dinner.
First of all, wow!!! This place is huge!!! Parking is plenty— all the way to the side and back, so don’t worry about not having any spot during the weekend when you see lots of cars in the front. This restaurant has definitely been around for a long time. The interior has a classic seafood restaurant feeling, and again, it has plenty of tables and additional rooms every where you look. I agree with another review that this place has a different vibe from other regular restaurants. Nevertheless, everyone there is very friendly to our whole family. They make you very welcome and not awkward. Most of the patrons who eat there tend to be of older generations, but that just proves that this restaurant has many long time regular customers. That being said, the food is very good. It’s fresh and high-quality, which is essential when it comes to restaurant seafood. The flavors pop in an elegant way. We ordered shrimp de jonghe and escargot a la skordo, both of which you don’t find often at other restaurants around here. We also had stuffed shrimp bakers and fried calamari. As our main dish, we ordered Captain Selection, Sea Scallop and Soft shell crab, all of them are delicious. We finished up with Cheesecake. Overall the food is great, service is friendly and decently priced for a seafood dinner. We would go back again for sure :)

Me & my family come here every year for Christmas eve. The food is amazing, the staff is phenomenal & most have been working there for a long time so they recognize us every time. The owner is always greeting guests at the front, gives a more genuine atmosphere. They have great seafood according to my family but I always get steak which is also great!
