Pope's Tavern

Delicious crab cake dinner, and don't miss Bread pudding dessert.  Glass of wine could have beeen a little more generous amount, but cocktails were great.

Service was good, and very nice atmosphere.

MEMORABLE.  I've been sampling the top rated restaurants within 10-15 miles of Easton this summer, and this was the first WOW! experience. Picturesque inn, romantic setting. We chose a table on the porch to watch the sun set over the boats in the harbor, then enjoyed wine and drinks (shaken right at the table), and warm bread.  Husband was delighted with the rockfish and asparagus--and gorgeous "architectural" presentation of the succulent, generous portion.  I slowly savored the melt-in-your-mouth beef filet and the potato puree filled cannoli (a decorator's twist on mashed potatoes to be sure!) and the best green beans I've had in my life.  Seems the chef grows her herbs and veggies right there.  Wait staff was friendly and appropriately attentive (without being chummy).  After our two capuccinos with dessert, we agreed Pope's was a 9.5.  Only thing keeping it from a 10 was a fairly long wait for bread (or something to accompany our drinks), and we noticed that patrons who arrived after us were offered something before us (and the couple before us).  A minor point that could easily be fixed.  We'll be back.

We sailed into Oxford Md. late afternoon on a Saturday. Menu looked fresh and creative so we set out on foot. The Yelp directions strangely seemed to stop halfway,  but we managed to find it. Make a reservation, 'cos this place is popular! we were seated at the bar. The staff could not have been more pleasant. We ordered cocktails which were perfect. Our starters were squash blossoms stuffed with crab and a BLT salad both excellent  choices. My flounder was superb, very fresh, perfectly cooked, moist with a terrific creamy lemon caper sauce with artichokes on a mound of mashed potatoes. Couldn't resist the  flourless chocolate cake for dessert. They gave us a large slice and it  was super dense, just how I like it.
But the best part was meeting the delightful owner Dan and his daughter, when we explained that one person in our party had been sick all day (in fact he hadn't been able to eat) and that we had walked further than we thought, they readily offered to take us back in the "Pope's " mobile, an old taxi. So nice of them,we were very grateful. In fact Dan told us if you are far away and give them a call they will pick you up. Dan said the restaurant "was his wife's idea" and that she was the chef! Hats off to her. Really recommend this restaurant.
