Ocean Pines Yacht Club

Food and atmosphere is always positive. We have been here many different times in a variety of weather patterns, staff have always been helpful and accommodating. They provide free use of gas fire pits, propane heaters and many different seating options inside and out. Their bar service is consistent and inclusive with a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic options. We come every summer when we are on vacation, a great spot for an evening out with the family.

NOTE: If you book for a holiday buffet and you are a party of 2 you will not be set up inside the dining structure but rather they will put 2 tops up against walls.
The problem will that is we were next to a speaker that played music. And we had a thermostat on our wall with staff reaching over you to make adjustments.
And— people line up for the buffet beside you in the aisle. You wind up having people’s backsides unfortunately next you while you are eating.
In our case we also were right next to the kitchen door. The people in back of us were seated against the same wall and had the entrance next to them. Both tables at our wall were gazed upon by diners lining up for the buffet so the dining experience felt very tense. We only stayed long enough to eat a quick meal. No cocktails as we had planned on having a leisurely Easter Meal.

Had we known this we never would have come here this Easter. When we asked to have the table moved they said “no, because there weren’t that many only twos dining today”. Well, We counted 8 occupied two tops that some of which could have been incorporated into the main dining space as there was room.

We were not offered a reduced price for the meal for such horrible seating so we will never return on a holiday.

Ending on a positive note. Having 2 buffet lines made it move quickly.
The quality of food offerings was great. And it is very pretty if you get a table in the main dining area.
So we will return to dine here at some point. Just never on a holiday.

Best steak meal I have had in years. Be prepared for a very lively n noisy seating indoors. If the weather is good I would suggest eating out on the patio where the views of the boats n water r more interesting.
