Coral Reef Cafe - Ocean City

Cafe or Restaurant either way the chlorine smell in this place is very very strong. Bar manager Sean has lots of rules. Kids eat free isn’t honored unless you question including the treat they are supposed to get at the end. They also dont tell you it’s done in only. Happy hour you have to be sitting at the bar so do t bother if you have kids and want to spend time with them. Alex the server was very friendly and Kristal if you can get her as a server was well above and beyond. My wife loved the omelette I loved the French toast and home fries and my daughter loved the pancakes. The fries were also good.

We thought about having dinner here but saw the kids in the pool and changed our mind. We stopped in later and looked at the menu only to realize the food was much better than what we had for dinner somewhere else. However, the sound of screaming kids in the pool was horrendous. Whoever thought you should build a restaurant and bar around an indoor pool that kids would be using? And why are kids always screaming anyway?? Shawn was our bartender and he was fantastic. We did try the clam chowder and it was phenomenal. It had large chunks of clams and potatoes and was so thick and creamy with a hint of sherry. It may be the best clam chowder I've ever had. We asked when the pool closed and unfortunately it's open longer than the bar. So maybe we would get dinner to go here next time, because we sure had to drink a lot of drinks to drown out the screaming.

Steak was awful and inedible. complained to server and she said sorry but still chargrd us. cook was touching his face the whole time while cooking.. also sweet potato fries were burnt.

Excellent cream of crab soup, caesar salad, build your own burger. Pleasant staff. Located in the Holiday Inn on the boardwalk.

The menu was changed to some ridiculous items. They got rid of cream of crab soup, fish tacos, ribs and many other favorites. Very disappointed
