Dinner ‘on the town’ in Solomons!

/ shellerina
It has been years since Shelly and I have been this impressed with a culinary composition as we were served this evening.

It was SOOooo good!

We highly recommend CD Cafe in Solomons for your dining in this part of the Chesapeake. Our choices:

Thai Duck Curry Soup.
Bangkok Scallops. Shrimp stir fried vegetables, fire roasted fuji apple, coconut pannang curry sauce, jasmine rice.
Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin Fillet. Sun-dried cranberry pancetta, red wine bordelaise, smoked white cheddar mashed potatoes, blue cheese mouse, pickled fennel and shallots.

We also split a crabcake… we are on the Chesapeake in Maryland, afterall!

Everything was excellent.

Our server was “Holly”. The CD Cafe name was named after the founders’ initials of this local establishment. Today, the new owner and executive chef is Claarissa Meinhardt, who was the chef working for the founders who first opened this restaurant in 1996.

Masterful.
But not “stuffy”.

e.g. Loopers & Cruisers can show up in their typical garb and not feel out of place.

Shelly and I are confident you will totally enjoy your meal.

We had no problem getting in on a Thursday night in May. Reservations may be a good idea during peak season, or weekends.

$116 before taxes and tip including a bottle of the house red wine. Total under $150. Not out of line for a special night of fine dining, once in a while. Buy your diesel fuel at AYB so you can treat yourselves to this special place. <wink>
