Restaurants near Debtors' Prison

No one at the hostess station for our reservation. For a very long time. We went to front desk to ask for help. Reluctantly, this person came to station to tell me hostess is seating someone else. Which was not true as we had been standing there for about 7 minutes and never saw any customers or hostess. Desk woman inquired from bartender who had one customer and saw us standing there the whole time as to where hostess was. He didn't know where hostess was. She suggested he find out. Eventually, hostess showed up and helped the larger group of PEOPLE BEHIND US who had just arrived! I told her we had been standing there for ten minutes and the WE were next! Phone rang. She answered the phone and discussed a reservation with the person on the phone. We continued to wait! Eventually, she settled on reservation with phone call and seated us. NO APOLOGY or acknowledgement in any way.

We had a lovely Birthday Dinner on the 21st. Our weight person was terrific and attentive. Sadly we were the one and only customers for a six thirty seating. I know that Merrior is always crowded in the summer, but people need to know it is quiet and extremely enjoyable in the winter as well. We sat on the porch and it was warm and cozy.

Love coming to Island House for the excellent food and awesome water views! Today did not disappoint. Although a little on the "pricey" side, portions are generous. Server today was a bit inattentive - rarely checking in even though we were his only table.

My friends and I had a wonderful experience on Tuesday 17th. I have never had a bad meal at The Office. Had a so-so bruschetta once years ago but my experiences have for the most part been wonderful. Thank you so much - I plan on many more visits. Victoria Marek Young

As a huge fan of the Channel Bass Inn, it was incredible to be a part of their final tea party for their 2024 season. The food was amazing with great flavors. I highly recommend dining here on your next visit to Chincoteague.
