During our first full day in Ocean City, we decided to eat out and enjoy some seafood for dinner. 

We arrived at Harborside Bar and Grill around 8PM and ended up waiting about an hour and a half since it was so crowded at the restaurant. It was truly a long wait, but in the end it was worth it because the food was amazing!

Seafood Bisque

A friend ordered the Seafood Bisque which is a variety of seafood in a traditional, creamy tomato bisque. This was probably one of the heartiest and delicious soups I've had so far.

It's rich. It's creamy and to die for. There was real seafood in the soup. I tasted scallops, shrimp, calamari, and crab meat.

Garlic Mussels

I ordered the garlic mussels. They were steamed with chopped garlic, white wine, and served with butter. The garlic mussels were tasty and full of white wine and garlic goodness! The only disappointment was that these mussels weren't big or meaty. They were tiny like clams, maybe even tinier than clams. 

Crab Cakes with Sweet Potato Fries & Cole Slaw

The trip would not have been complete if I didn't have crab cakes and I did! The crab cakes were fried to golden brown and moist inside. They were absolutely delicious! The sweet potato fries were yum and the cole slaw was different. It tasted a lot more fresh, crunchy, and not soggy like the cole slaw I have had before.

We had a lot more food than this, but I didn't quite get a chance to take a picture of them and the lighting wasn't good at the restaurant. Despite the long wait, we actually enjoyed the food here and it was extremely hearty and yum! I would definitely come back here if we come back to Ocean City again, but hopefully next time we won't have to wait 1.5 hour.
