Pier450 - POV Restaurant

Liz Kessel

This is a regular Sunday stop for us. The sunsets are so beautiful and sitting outside when the weather permits is so relaxing.

This place is so awesome. It’s an artfully decorated motel with a restaurant attached in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant sits at Smith Creek’s intersection with the Potomac River. Plenty of outdoor dining. The staff will even light a fire pit for you on the little beach as you watch the sun set. You are facing west and the sunsets are spectacular. The menu, which features Maryland seafood, is almost perfect. I had the best cream of crab/roasted corn soup here that I have ever had in my whole life. It had plentiful and huge lumps of crab floating in a delicious broth. I stayed the weekend so I got to try a lot of menu items. I also had a delicious meal of seared ahi tuna w/ crunchy kale alongside three plump scallops on a bed of apple slaw. So yummy! The only items that weren’t absolutely perfect were the oysters on the half shell. I ordered six. They didn’t taste bad but they were mysteriously missing the pool of liquid that oysters usually float in. Usually the act of eating raw oysters is referred to as “slurping oysters” but here there was no slurp. Kinda weird. But everything else couldn’t have been better! I highly recommend spending a relaxing weekend here, kicking back on the beach in the Adirondack chairs with a good book and then sampling the menu as the sun sets, maybe over a fire. BTW: kayaks are available for motel guests.

Amazing gem! Friendly, warm and quality- a trifecta that is hard to come by. Love the focus on locally sourced ingredients. We’ll be back!

Pier450 was recommended to us following a Relay for Life event at St. Marys College. We had a group of 7, and this was our first time eating here. They were very accommodating. It was amazing to find such a beautiful restaurant so hidden, what a gem. The food and service was great, and the decor and views were amazing. A little piece of paradise down in God's Country. We even went for a walk on the pier after dinner. Thank you Pier450 for a wonderful experience.
