Appetizer & my friends shrimp scampi was good, but my crab legs & butter had little flavor. Maybe frozen too long.

Really did not care for any of the food items. Overly creamy and basic ingredients. I ate it for the most part because I was hungry, but didn't enjoy it. Seems like this place has an incredible sunset view that makes its upstairs seating area very popular. But the food just cannot match the view. Go for drinks, eat somewhere else.

This place had a wonderful aura of positive energy. The staff was full of smiles. If Victoria is working - be sure to ask for her! You won’t be disappointed in your experience. Enjoy your time!

Title: **A Sunset Dinner to Remember at Marina Deck Restaurant**Review:Two weeks ago, I was delighted to dine at Marina Deck Restaurant in Ocean City. The panoramic bay view and breathtaking sunset immediately captured my heart, setting the stage for a memorable evening. The spacious rooftop deck offered a refreshing breeze and an expansive view of the marina, enhancing the dining experience.My exceptional waiter, Mr. Dallas, guided me through the rich menu, leading to a sumptuous crab feast. I indulged in a comforting crab soup, a delectable crab cake, and a customized Crab Imperial with additional Blue Crab, all perfectly cooked and promptly served.Additionally, I enjoyed the Tropical Salad at Marina Deck Restaurant, a refreshing mix of shrimp, mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, cucumbers, and tomatoes on fresh lettuce, all topped with their renowned honey mustard dressing. This delightful salad added a burst of flavor and freshness to my memorable dining experience.The attentive and friendly staff ensured my satisfaction throughout the meal, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to exceptional service.Despite the lavish meal and impeccable service, the cost was surprisingly reasonable, under $100 for an unforgettable dining experience and a priceless view of the bay at sunset.The Marina Deck Restaurant has a rich history dating back to the 1930s. It has undergone various transformations and ownerships, each contributing to its current charm. In 1980, a significant addition was made with a large deck over the bay, providing a much larger seating area and enhancing the dining experience with stunning views.In conclusion, Marina Deck Restaurant promises a harmonious blend of culinary excellence, outstanding service, and scenic beauty, making it a must-visit Ocean City destination for tourists and locals alike. The restaurant's storied history adds to its allure, offering not just a meal but an experience steeped in the rich tapestry of Ocean City's past. I eagerly anticipate my next visit and wholeheartedly recommend it to all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- A Delighted Diner

Great atmosphere! Great view!! Friendly staff!! The Cowboy bartender (Jeff) has some good stories, for one so young. I’m not much on seafood but we love the crab dip pretzel and wings. And don’t forget the coconut muffins. ?
My Alfredo didn’t have barely any sauce and even though we were the only ones in the dining room at this time. We also asked for coconut muffins and never received them! The people were nice, and it was okay. The view was nice!

I am writing this so you don't make the same mistake. $40.00 for 10 overcooked, chewy, unseasoned scallops. Mushy green beans that I believe came out of a can. Find another restaurant. The service was good but the food was terrible.

We had dinner on the top deck of the restaurant and the view was spectacular of the Bay. My husband ordered the biggest soft shell crab sandwich that we've ever seen and I ordered the crab imperial which was huge and all crab meat, no filler. Both meals were excellent. Our waiter, Dallas, was super nice and very attentive. We would recommend this restaurant highly

Fantastic location. Right next to the dock where a lot of persons go to para sailing , speed boats etc . They have a humongous space in the ground floor but I went to the top floor with a beautiful view of bay . Nice and breezy at the top. Fantastic ambience.. lots of seats to sit and dine , in the top floor too. As always with other restaurants, the menu was full of seafood items . The only thing that I liked in the menu was chicken strips. Ordered and didn't disappoint me . It was good . They had a fulll fledged bar and some IPA options . IPAs were mostly in bottles and not in tap. Wish they had more options for .. good service .. liked it overall ..
I like this place! Nice view from rooftop. Delicious award winning cream of crab soup! Very surprised with menu for dogs :oMine have eaten all bowl it means had to be delicious.Also worthy to mention about Kate- photographer. She makes memory from this place.

My lovely evening ended with having to call the paramedics after visiting this place. Between the server/bartender someone spiked/drugged my drink. (I never left the table). I ordered a mocktail and was charged for a cocktail. Worst thing was I was alone with my 3 children. I could barely make it back to my hotel. I was checked out by the paramedics who think I was most likely drugged after they cleared me of any medical concerns. Tanya my server just insisted I let my children play in the play area and “relax for a while” And she barely came to check on me while she chatted it up with other patrons. Letting me sit a good long time. When she finally brought my check I could barely make it out out or coherently figure out a tip. Then, I could barely stand up when I went to go look for my kids. She brought my card back to the table and made a joke about “going shopping” with my card. I complained about being dizzy and confused before I left, with the bartender and other servers, but I was so panicked and scared I just had to get my kids to safety. I will be canceling my card and getting a new one. It’s pretty clear what scam this place is running. Ladies, watch your back, other women I spoke with say this is common in OC MD, with bartenders being in on it. I’m lucky to be alive and my children safe.

So disappointed! We eat here every year while vacationing in OCMD and have always been very well pleased.....but not this year. To start, it was a very hot, humid evening and we were seated in an area of the restaurant that had no working fans. After much discussion with the server, we were eventually seated at another table. When we looked at the menu we noticed an increase in prices over last year, but were willing to pay because we have always been very satisfied in the past. We ordered the Creamy crab soup, which we have always loved......when it came it was ice cold. The server's explanation was "oh, that's because they just made it."Wouldn't soup that was just made be hot? She did take it and heat it up, and then it was delicious. I ordered the Coconut Shrimp, which I always order here and have always loved....the shrimp was mushy and had no taste. Both my husband and I ordered the green beans, and they were also cold. The server offered to warm them up, but at that point I just said don't bother, but that she might want to let the kitchen know....she returned to say that someone must have bumped the knob on the burner. She did take 10% off the entire bill, but that did not make up for the very disappointing meal. Sad to say, I will be very reluctant to return here.

I was so excited to go to this restaurant, their menu sounded great, and they were right on the water front. We started out with the seafood nacho, which were recommended by the waitress, but the seafood was rather Soupy to my liking. My hubby ordered the baby back ribs and he was very happy with his choice. I ordered the stuffed shrimp with a lobster tail add on. What a waste of $20. This was the first time I ever received fish that was totally overcooked and burnt on the edges. I was going to send it back and complain but didn't, maybe the chef was having a rough night? I would steer clear of that seafood dish. Victoria, our waitress, was very nice and attentive.

Marina Deck Restaurant is a casual dining establishment. It is a seafood restaurant that offers a variety of American fare, including all-you-can-eat seafood specials, a kids' play area, and a rooftop bar. I will not speak about the food here because we did not eat here. The restaurant is open year-round and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. It is known for its fresh seafood, friendly service, and lively atmosphere. We were here for the Ocean City Explorer cruise to Assateague Island. This was our first time here. My family of six including two young school children decided to stop here for cocktails and drinks prior to the OC Explorer departure since it was too sunny and hot outside. The upstairs bar was quiet with few customers. The downstairs bar area is very dark and also quiet in the early afternoon. I enjoyed my margarita with salted rim. My total bill excluding gratuity was $26 for the six of us.
