Location, location, location! If we truly eat with our eyes, then Maryland’s most scenic restaurants are well worth a second helping, wowing with unmatched ambiance and incredible views even before the first bite. Truth be told, a beautiful waterfront dining experience isn’t too hard to come by in the Old Line State. But the best restaurants in the state offer something extra special to go with the beautiful surroundings: the ultimate blend of location, food, whimsical charm, and unforgettable views from nearly every seat in the room. The Hobbit Restaurant in Ocean City might just top them all!
The Hobbit Restaurant in Ocean City is tucked away in the heart of downtown, but the hustle of urban life ends at the front door.
The weathered, iconic Tolkien-inspired front door is straight out of the shire, and your first steps inside this seemingly humble restaurant will continue to offer quaint peeks into the world of literary hobbits with charming artwork and cozy furnishings.
The panoramic bay views are highlighted by the magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome in vibrant sunset colors every evening while seamlessly embracing the equally impressive urban cityscape nearby.
While Maryland is chock full of incredible waterfront dining experiences, the Hobbit's long-standing history (40 years and counting!) and unique setting that gets up close and personal with such marvelous scenery is something truly special.
But it's not just a feast for the eyes, here. The incredible cuisine at the Hobbit is a special find in Ocean City: hearty, poshly-plated entrees, succulent fresh seafood options, absolutely divine desserts, and more - all made fresh in-house.
And for dessert, you won't want to miss the Chocolate Run Mousse Cake, infused with rum and drizzled with a raspberry coulis! But the beautiful Mary's Delight with its crushed walnut crust, sweet chocolate filling, and homemade whipped cream definitely keeps diners coming back for more.
It's impossible to pick a favorite menu item at the Hobbit! It's all deliciously presented and marvelously prepared - perfect for a date night, special occasion, or just a relaxing night out.
Maryland’s most incredible restaurants offer so much more than picture-perfect views! The Hobbit is open seasonally, so be sure to keep an eye on their website, Facebook, or Instagram to stay in the know.
