When dining at The Wharf, you'll most likely hear guests order one of three specialties on their menu: East Coast Cioppino, all lump crabcake and cashew crusted mahi mahi. These are the standouts but don't let that stop you from trying other classic Chesapeake recipes like broiled dayboat sea scallops, old school crab imperial and stuffed Chesapeake flounder. While the food is sure to be a main focus, the building which houses The Wharf is worth a look. Dating back to the 1790s, history buffs can see the 18th century floor joints notched into the beams supporting the second level and charred wood from a Civil War era fire.
