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!

Drinks took 20 minutes to come out. Fries had no flavor. Shrimp come out raw and had to send it back and it took 10 minutes to come back out. The waiter did not smell the best. Service at McDonald’s is better. No refills ever and there was also no water refills ever. Asked for wings and they told me they had no chicken wings but some how had every other kind of chicken. Got the wrong salad dressing. The food is not worth the price I do not recommend this place ever.
