Fisherman's Catch

Now that they have combined the neighboring restaurant, It does have more outdoor space. But the brunch buffet is gone. The sodas and beer are served in a very small Dixie cup with alot of ice. Lastly the deck needs some work. Every time someone walked by my table shook. But this place does have a little beach which was cute. I'll be back.

Point Lookout may be a quaint small town, but when it comes to dining choices, it is big on flavor and variety. Today we were at The Clam Bar, located right on the water, offering outdoor dining guests incredible sunset views! The food is beachy casual served on paper plates. You order at the walk-up window, and it arrives tableside without much delay. They offer a good variety of fresh fish and preparations ~grilled, fried, and sauteed for yummy crab cakes. Our meals were all flavorful, juicy, and accompanied by sides of coleslaw, rice, or with fries. This is no-frills waterside dining. You are paying for the location. Their baked clams are a nice size and the right mix of chopped clams, pepper, onion, and crumbs. The added big outdoor bar is making this spot even more attractive. They also have a delicious lobster bisque soup that took the early spring chilled breeze right out. Heaters are in place and clear protective panels, offering you comfort while not compromising the panoramic view. Come on down right now as I bet in the summertime here, there will be a much longer wait! Worth it, but longer.

Excellent service and food quality with one exception, they unjustifiably added an $8 shared plate fee to our bill without any prior notice. We ordered 2 appetizers (Crab Cake at $20 and Beet Salad at $16), one beer ($8), and a Fisherman's Catch (Signature Dish of linguini and mixed seafood at $48). Our total bill was $108 including tax and the $8 snuck in plate sharing fee. The two of us shared all three dishes during the quick dinner. It was around 740 pm on a rainy Thursday evening when we arrived at the restaurant which was relatively full (Covid 19 seating protocols). The restaurant began to thin out since it had just started raining upon our arrival. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor seating area and magnificent views that you're clearly paying for in the price. But, we didn't have those experiences on a rainy Thursday evening and we felt as though the plate sharing charge while inexpensive; but trivial and insulting on an otherwise $100 bill. Particularly when the entire circumstances were taken into account. I live locally and I've been to the Fisherman's Catch several times over the past decade. I'll give it another shot one day since the rest of the experience was pleasant.
