    Front of the House - One person. Attentive; engaging; and started a conversation. Discussed lunch options and his favorite item. Recalled my face and where he had previously provided seating. Polite and helpful. Very positive change. Wait Staff - Monica - attentive; helpful; and professional. Meal - Stayed within the Wheel House - Maryland Crab Soup - bowl. Seasoned; tasty; and worth having on a daily basis. Followed up with mini crab cakes. Seasoned; tasty; and filling. The crab based meals are reliable and consistent - you cannot go wrong with these menu items. Worth the visit. Solid location for business meals - nice tables and open space - business conversation friendly. Also wonderful for corporate lunch day - parties 5 to 12 appear to fit well and the guests appear to enjoy themselves.

    Highly enjoyed our dinner. The food was very tasty. The specials provide for very good value for the money since they include soup and 2 sides. The dessert was delicious, but a surprisingly small portion of apple pie. I would have considered it a half piece, rather than a whole piece. Our service was exceptional. She was very friendly and very accommodating. She made our dinner lovely.

    we visit Papa‘s on a weekly basis. This is the second time in a row. Our dinner comes out before our salad appetizer. So they have to get our server, we send the food back and ask for a salads first. Then when the foods brought back out even though they say they keep it warm it’s cold. This is the second time very disappointed that a restaurant of this quality can’t serve an appetizer then your meal. The manager did come over and offered to re-make our meals. But I was shocked that a dessert or nothing was even offered.
