    I set up a 6:30 reservation on Christmas Eve, December 24th through Open Table. Pappas received the invitation, but was not able to seat my wife and I promptly as the current diners were "overstaying their reservations" as I was told. The waiting area was packed with other parties waiting for their tables to become available. It was clear that the restaurant manager and hostess staff were frustrated and apologetic. I was initially told that we would be seated within 20 minutes; however, we were seated after 35 minutes. Once seated, we were attended to promptly by our server, Sienna. My wide was a little taken aback by the lack of dinners that she liked off of the limited menu. We both ordered the single crab cake, asparagus, and baked potato. The plates were served in a timely manner and were tasty. Still, I will never reserve a table from Pappas on Christmas Eve again. There are many other good restaurants in the area that we can choose from. It's just too popular a place.

    Dinner was excellent, as usual. Service was great, and we had a good time visiting family. A few vegetarian options on the holiday menu would be nice, but otherwise absolutely terrific.

    Wait Staff - Monica - menu knowledgeable. Attentive; professional; and positive communication. Meal - Super. Maryland Crab Soup - bowl. Nicely seasoned. 5 small crab cakes - tasty just the right size. This is a wonderful go to lunch. Crackers are addictive - they hit the spot prior to the soup; in the soup; and forming a platform for the crab cakes. Floor Support - Good team performance to clear the table of unnecessary items. Refresh of ice tea and water spot on. Everyone appears to assist each other and this enhances the overall Guest experience. Table positions - caution to blocking the dining room entrance to walkers and wheel chairs. Guest was spoken to very aggressive by other Guest for blocking the way. Mutual respect would have worked; however, the walker quest just assumed it was on purpose. Merely tight placement of table and chair. Adjust to your clients requirements. Front of the House - Better. Not yet engaging. Talk too much to each other and not the guest. Priorities do not appear to be in the right place.

    We always enjoy Pappas! The food, the service and the ambiance is great! We especially love their steamed mussels in red wine sauce and their crab imperial!
