Excellent outdoor atmosphere. The staff was super helpful with my service animal and brought him a bowl of ice and another dog bowl so I could feed him. The wait staff put up with our high maintenance group of seven. The food was tremendous. The wine was not over priced and everything about the evening was great.

We stopped here for lunch on our way to St. Michaels and had an exceptional meal. Our wonderful server, Pyper, made recommendations from the diverse menu. We shared the shrimp spring rolls with a seaweed salad that was so flavorful and satisfying. We also ordered the spinach salad with salmon and crab fried rice. Both were excellent as well. Portions are more than ample. Can’t wait to come back here again and again even though we’re 90 minutes away.

Anniversary Turnaround

Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 2, 2023

It was our 42nd anniversary. After a drenching rain while shopping in St. Michaels and trouble finding reservations close to our Easton hotel, Legal Assets let us sit at the bar. Lily was our friendly waitress who changed the tide and made our anniversary evening special. Of course the chef had a big part of it too. Our French onion soup was very delicious on a rainy night. The Caesar salad was good. But the New York Strip on a nest of delicious mashed potatoes with some seasonings from the steak in them was tender and flavorful. The blueberry and peach cobbler with whipped cream and ice cream were a perfect finish. Then, Lily surprised us with two flutes of champagne. Next trip we will shop downtown Easton and have dinner here again! Lily has tattoos and a nose ring but don’t let that deter your asking for her. She’s just perfect!

Met a friend here for dinner and as always the food and service were amazing. It just happened to be the night of the local Father Nash was the guest bartender. Needless to say that it was a little busy. Our server Marguerite never missed a beat throughout our meal. She was pleasant, attentive, but not overbearing. Excellent service! I had the spinach salad which was huge and so delicious. For my entree I had the appetizer stuffed poblano pepper and was delightfully pleased with the the combination of crab and cheese stuffed in the lightly tempura fried pepper and the corn relish served with it, to die for. The peach and blueberry cobbler was a pleasant finish to a wonderful meal. This is a great place for meeting at the end of the harried work day to unwind and have a fantastic meal.
