What a great gem in the kentlands! Delicious seafood options with a local flair. The cakes are very meaty little filler. The calamari is accompanied with a delicious dipping sauce, the hush puppies are light and fluffy and served with a sweet and yummy butter. The cocktails are perfect as well… Go with the old fashioned, it is great. All of the staff are friendly and go the extra mile to make sure you are happy. We had a great experience!

I will be the first to admit I was unsure of how TGOC would transition to the Kentlands neighborhood. By the time the entrees were served, I then thought “who cares!?” It is delicious! I think we all can agree that a solid seafood-focused venue is a commodity in Gaithersburg.

Incredible. Hubby and I stopped in for lunch and it was awesome. The food, the drinks and the staff!! We will 100% be back soon! The Oysters Rockefeller was hands down the best I’ve ever had and the drinks were amazing too!

We got calamari for our apps, crunchy and delicious! We did ask for lemon wedges to go with. I got the lobster Cobb with a couple substitutions, the portion was big and delicious. Husband got the beet salad, liked it but wasn’t phenomenal. For my main I got the lobster pasta, delicious! Didn’t have much room anymore to eat. Our server forgot that I got a crab cake on the side so packed it but made up for it by giving us a free dessert, the key lime mousse.. which was perfectly tart and sweet. Overall recommend it and will go again!

Fantastic service, food and cocktails- we had dinner here last night and loved it. First, I love that they have gluten free items on their menu and not just salads. I’m talking about wings, clams casino, Maryland crab cake etc!! Probably the best crab cake I’ve had! Today I came back for more just for take out. The staff is just so friendly – I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Decent brunch spot in Kentlands. The setting is intimate, and the service is really good. We enjoyed the hush puppies the most ( the sweet butter is the best I wish they sold it separately) and the fried oysters were flavorful – portion sizes are generous. The drinks were also well made. Only knocking off a star because the soft shell crab sandwich was a little bland, and the prices feel high even for Kentlands.

Really great seafood but for a long wait. Been here twice and each time the food took forever to come out. Other than that they have solid choices but beware that lots of their dishes are more visually appealing than tasty. Their Calimari is bomb

Fabulous restaurant. I’ve dined here twice—first time was back in November and most recently for my birthday I invited friends to join me. Lovely atmosphere, EXCELLENT food and kind staff. They don’t take reservations but the owner held a table for us until all of my friends arrived. Over all, a consistently wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to this restaurant twice and I will say the menu is extensive, but the food is hit or miss.
