St. Michaels area for fine dining etc...
My wife and I are celebrating our anniversary in September. We are thinking of going to St. Michaels for the weekend. I'm looking for lunch and dinner places in the general area. Would like to have 2 fine dining experiences for dinner, if that is available in the area. Other more casual places for lunch would be fine. We've been to the Crab Claw, which was fine for lunch, but would like to try other places.

I would echo the recommendations for 208 Talbot and Bistro St. Michaels as your two fine dining experiences for dinner. I was there two weeks ago and had an outstanding meal at each restaurant.
208 Talbot (www.208talbot.com) has been getting a lot of regional press, so I suggest reservations. They are closed Mondays. I had a delicious back porch lemonade cocktail, outstanding fried oysters for an appetizer, a yummy whole roasted bronzino with anchovy butter for dinner, and the best pecan pie I've ever had. The service and ambience were lovely.
Bistro St. Michaels (www.bistrostmichaels.com) is open Thurs-Mon for dinner only. The atmosphere is a bit more casual than Talbot, but just a bit. No one seemed in a rush to dress formally for dinner at either place. I enjoyed very fresh oysters on the half shell, quite good crab cakes (jumbo lump with little filler) and tabouleh salad for dinner. Again, quite capable service.
Enjoy your anniversary!›2 Replies -
