TOWN DOCK, Maryland

Town Dock is located in St. Michael's on Maryland's Eastern Shore. It's a wonderful place to sit by the peaceful water or browse lots of shops throughout the town. My brother and I spent several enjoyable hours there last weekend. We started out sitting on a dock at the Crab Claw Restaurant, eating a crab cocktail, drinking margaritas, and watching folks feed the ducks nearby. Afterward, we strolled through the historic town and chose to eat dinner on the deck of the Town Dock Restaurant. It was a beautiful night and our food was delicious. We chose two entree's to share, seafood risotto and scallops with polenta. Both were excellent, but rich. Neither of us could eat dessert. The restaurant sits in three levels facing the water. The bar sits above the inside restaurant area which sits above the outside seating area. It's a great place to satisfy patrons with diversified tastes.

MISS SHIRLEY'S

It's August and I thought everyone should be at the beach. Surely, restaurants that are normally crowded wouldn't be in August. Wrong!! When Suzanne and I got to Miss Shirley's today for lunch, it was packed. There was a long wait to eat inside, so we opted for outside. Not our first choice because it was 90 degrees, but we're getting older and our patience seems to be getting shorter. So, outside we went. We were enjoying our mimosa and grapefruit crush when the rain started. At first it was refreshing, then it was just wet. Our waiter was kind enough to move us to a table under the overhang. We sat there for the remainder of lunch, quite happily. My chicken salad sandwich was good, but Suzanne's choice was the winner. She had a crabcake eggs benedict that was amazing. Since they don't take reservations, I would suggest you not be surprised if there's a wait, even though it's worth it.
