Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ocean City

Last night, we celebrated our anniversary and couldn't be happier that we chose Hell's Kitchen for the occasion. It was our first time dining there, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff was exceptional, providing top-notch service that made our night truly special. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Johnny Blaze, who went above and beyond to make our first visit unforgettable. From recommending the perfect cocktail to guiding us through our starters and main course, his expertise made all the difference. We indulged in oysters, steak tartare, lobster risotto, and the famous Beef Wellington—every dish was outstanding! From the impeccable service to the incredible ambiance and phenomenal food, everything exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be returning for our next special celebration!

I haven’t been in Sofia’s since our wedding that we celebrated there - it is a bit far from where we live, but this place has a huge sentimental value to us. Spending almost every summer in Greece, I can attest the food is authentic - the best tzatziki and moussaka I’ve had in my life. The food is certainly giving you that “welcome home” comfort. The Chilean Seabass from the Valentine day menu was outstanding, just perfect! Applause for the kitchen staff! Knowing the restaurant business very well, this place runs like a well oiled machine! Service was attentive and kind enough but not overwhelming, and this is a tough balance to achieve. Our servers were amazing - food was arriving timely, everything was at perfect temperature, we mixed the regular and Valentine’s Day menu items, adding wine flights to accompany - the wine selection was curated to perfection. The ambience is one of its strengths and can easily make you feel as if you’re somewhere in the Mediterranean. Overall, this was a spectacular experience in every aspect, and we surely be back. Thank you for a Valentine’s Day to remember!

An absolutely wonderful dinner. The grilled calamari was some of the best I have ever had! The veal chop parmigiana was absolutely wonderful! My wife had the meatballs on ricotta and Seafood Pescatore. She absolutely enjoyed both of them very much! Our server was Reyes (?) and he was very helpful and extremely attentive.

We went for a nice Valentine’s Day Dinner . Our reservation was at 3:30 , however, we arrived much earlier at 1:00 o’clock . We went to the bar for a drink and they seated us early at 1:30. Drinks, food, waitstaff, everything was great. We were happy there was a lunch menu so the portions were better for 2 people.

Our meal consisted of appetizers and drinks. The raw oysters were so delicious we ordered them twice The chef was kind enough to make us our favorite SHRIMP TEMPURA. Our server Victoria was very professional and explained all the specials. Even our drinks were splendid. It was a wonderful dinner
