Front of the House - One person. Attentive; engaging; and started a conversation. Discussed lunch options and his favorite item. Recalled my face and where he had previously provided seating. Polite and helpful. Very positive change. Wait Staff - Monica - attentive; helpful; and professional. Meal - Stayed within the Wheel House - Maryland Crab Soup - bowl. Seasoned; tasty; and worth having on a daily basis. Followed up with mini crab cakes. Seasoned; tasty; and filling. The crab based meals are reliable and consistent - you cannot go wrong with these menu items. Worth the visit. Solid location for business meals - nice tables and open space - business conversation friendly. Also wonderful for corporate lunch day - parties 5 to 12 appear to fit well and the guests appear to enjoy themselves.
