We went in with my husband for lunch today. Â I was very excited about this place, Â having read so many great reviews. Â I was sorely disappointed. Â The place is clean, Â the menu looked eclectic enough to be interesting, Â I give you that. Â But the food ended up passable at best. Â My fish and chips was fresh, Â but really hard. Â My husband's Ruben was ok, but his strudel tasted like tobacco. Â We looked for the rock fish, Â but wasn't on the menu and we couldn't get any information as to when they would have it again from the host. Â But really what ruined it for us was the rudeness of the host. Â The restaurant was almost empty, Â so no excuse for his behavior. Â Abrupt barely does this man justice. Â We tried to ask about specials, Â the area, Â the local catches, Â barely got a grunt back from him. Â Never volunteered anything, Â barely slowed down to answer questions or drop our food. Â Didn't say goodbye either. Â We will definitely NOT be returning.
Review Source:Right near Main St. in Rock Hall, we showed up around 2pm Sunday.. Â There was only a table outside and three guys at the bar, one of which was the owner. Â We sat inside so I could watch the Skins game, and they were more than happy to oblige. Â
The service was great even considering there were only two tables. The people were extremely friendly. Â It was definitely a welcoming atmosphere. Â The shrimp cocktail and the reuben were good and priced cheaply. Â
My wife and I were sold so much with the area, the people and this restaurant that we are thinking about coming back for their Pirate festival in August.
Bay wolf is tried and true. Â I sail out of Sailing Emporium when I'm lucky enough to get down there in the summer. Â If we're spending a night in the marina, we're going to Bay wolf.
Highlights: Â Great beer selection. Â Get in their German theme and have a Warsteiner. Â I LOVE the decor. Â Wood paneled walls, pictures of Larry the owner with rockfish that are bigger than his head, and taxidermy. Â Lots of taxidermy. This place looks so unassuming in a tiny little town.
What to order: Â You're a fool if you don't order the rockfish. Â It is far and wide the best piece of fish I've EVER ever had. Â It melts in your mouth. Â There's a hint of dill. Â Best of all, Larry, the owner, goes out fishing for these things! Â Can you say fresh? Â Can you say local? Â Bay wolf blows everywhere in center city PHL out of the water in the realm of fresh fish. Â
If you're feeling extra crazy have ask them to stuff your rockfish with crab imperial. Â
The service: Â Top of the line. Â This may or may not be because my family blows up this restaurant every chance they get but the bartender (we're bar sitters) knows what we all drink and order. Â It's pretty perfect. Â The owner's wife is a gem, too. Â
Go here. Â It's great.
We had dinner at Bay Wolf while staying in Rock Hall for a long weekend. Â I had the baked rockfish, which was delicious. Â My SO had the Wienerschnitzel, which he proclaimed as perfectly done. Â The restaurant was very homey, the food very good and the prices were right. Â We would go back.
Review Source:As I described in my review of Tallulah's ( <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/tallulahs-on-main-rock-hall#hrid:8q-Pnv1VsfLbke2paxp7Hw">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a> ) my wife and I were married in Rock Hall and BayWolf catered the event. We could not have been happier with the service, the flexibility of the chef (we're vegetarian), and the tasty, tasty food. I can save you some time on your wedding if you're in Rock Hall - use BayWolf - for AT MINIMUM the cake. Everyone within a 30 mile radius of Rock Hall said to us "you're getting the cake from BayWolf, right?" And we did, and we were not at all disappointed - it was EXCELLENT - just like the salads and entrees.
The entire staff, especially the chef, were very nice, customer-service oriented individuals who went out of their way to help us unravel the logistics of getting married. At our reception it started raining cats & dogs (fortunately after the ceremony) and BayWolf helpfully tracked down some skids to drop in the parts of the lawn that quickly became mud bogs. I know it sounds like a nightmare but BayWolf (and Tallulah's) made it wonderful and people still speak of it glowingly and friends who have since been married have said they want their weddings like ours.
Last but not least, BayWolf was, in my opinion, reasonably priced for the quality of food. it wasn't cheap, mind you - but this food was top-notch and we felt like we got every pennies worth when we signed the check. There aren't many times that one pays for a meal with a number followed by three zeroes, but I didn't flinch - they did a wonderful job.
Thanks, BayWolf!
