Reef 118 Oceanfront Restaurant

Came here for dinner with my family on the first night of our vacation. I made reservations at this restaurant for each meal we would have, just in case.

The server was very attentive to us while we were there. The restaurant was "pretty," having a coastal theme and a lot of natural light and partial ocean views.

The crab dip appetizer was the best part of our dinner. From there, the food took over 20 minutes to come out. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good despite how long it took to prepare it and the price we paid for it. My mom and sister got the special--rock fish, shrimp, rice pilaf, veggies. They said the food was bland and the rice was crunchy as if partially cooked.

I got sirloin tips with mashed potatoes and green beans. Aside from adding salt and maybe some black pepper, there was no seasoning.

After the meal, I canceled the subsequent reservations I made for that weekend.

The “All You Can Eat” Snow Crab Legs, Shrimp, Hush Puppies, Corn, & French Fries were outstanding! 🤩 This is definitely the “hidden gem” of ocmd. The legs were piping hot steaming, the shrimp was huge and seasoned perfectly, the butter was fresh and tasted like actual butter, and I usually don’t like hush puppies but these were really good! We are SO thankful we found this place and had Karisa as our wonderful server! Safe to say we’ll never go back to the other places and Reef 118 is our new go-to spot for sure 😍🦀

**EDIT August 2025 - We were told in March 2025 that they would "never raise the price, even during season to keep our customers happy" umm okay what happened to that?? $49.95 is WAYYY different than $69.99!!! Are you out of your mind? I literally hate to go against what I originally said in my review but until that price goes back down, we're going where the AUCE is $55-$60!

Was a guest staying here. Tried calling to place an order. Number didn’t work. Walked downstairs with 2 of my children to place an order at the front desk. Was told to go to the bar section to place my to go order. BTW also asked for their number in case I needed to place an order in the future as we were there for a week and mentioned that the number listed online didn't work as it routed me to the hotel. They told me to go online and find the number. That should have told me something in hindsight. Well walked up to the bar as instructed with only 1 couple seated at the bar and was immediately told I couldn’t be serviced because I had my 2 kids with me. I asked if I could just place the to go order and walk my kids back upstairs and return to pick it up. Of course, the gentleman refused. Went back to the front desk. Asked for the manager who simply said oh I will go talk to him .No offer to make things right or even take my order Afterall he was there when I first walked to the front desk to first attempt to place an order with my 2 kids . Well, there are so many restaurants in town to be treated like this. No wonder the restaurant was empty. Not to talk about the fact that the carousel is outdated and a rip off.
