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!

$12 for a tiny piece of dry cake. The dinner wasn't bad although my husband's potatoes were cold. Which didn't make sense since we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. Then we ordered a piece of cake. The waitress told us the options and I explained that today is the one day I get dessert since it is my cheat day. I asked what she would recommend especially since we were splitting the dessert. What she brought out was the smallest cake slice I have ever been served at a restaurant. Then we tasted it and it was SO dry. We told the waitress and the response was " I'll tell the chef and have him throw the rest away". WTH, they should be embarrassed to serve a cake like that. I've made better cakes with a cake mix and store bought icing. What an entire waste of a cheat day. I would not recommend this restaurant as the food is not worth the price. After tip we spent $83 for 2 people.
