Amazing views, chill vibe, friendly staff. Great place to relax with a drink on the deck after kayaking. Food is pretty good but not the main attraction.

During the pandemic, they are only serving using disposable plates and plasticware. Everyone at the table was satisfied with their meal, and for myself, the breakfast burrito was wonderful. At the time we were there, they had no champagne, so they could not serve mimosas. I myself, was going non-alcoholic, and chose coffee and grapefruit juice for my beverages. The weather when we were there, was cloudy and a little drippy outside, but the view was fine. Our server, Abby, was wonderful and took care of all of our needs.

We found Island View Waterfront Restaraunt by accident and we are so pleased that we did. The atmosphere is great, but the food and service is even better. You can sit on the deck and dine while watching the boats go by or sit inside. You can even put your kayak out for 10.00 or you can rent a kayak from them. Great place to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner.

BEAUTIFUL VIEW, WARM SERVICE & GOOD FOOD! We were looking for having lunch with beautiful ocean views and this place didn't disappoint. We arrived there and the the restaurant was spic and clean and had this breeze feel from inside. The deck was full but the waitress told us to wait for 15 mins and I am glad we did. The views from the outside were amazing. The sun was blazing, there was little breeze and the shade due to umbrella, there were kayaks in the water and you can hear the water gushing on the pier. The server was pretty friendly and started us with a carafe of sangria (which was okay-ish) and pina colada which was amazing. For entrees we ordered: - Maryland crab soup which was creamy and delicious - Soft crab sandwich which lacked some seasoning but otherwise okay -Steamed Mussels which were fresh and delicious -Mrs Frans Crab cakes which were perfectly cooked and delicious - Veggie burger which well seasoned and delicious! - We ordered Baltimore pie (way too sweet) and Key lime pie (perfectly sweet and tart and creamy) for desserts! Overall, we enjoyed our extravagant food with the breath taking views. I would highly recommend checking this place out during lazy summer weekends !
