An absolutely impeccable dining experience. Our waiter Tim was polite and on point, terrific service. We’ve eaten at The Hobbit before so we knew it would be exceptional. My husband had the catch of the day, Swordfish; and I chose the Stuffed Filet. Delicious!
We each started with a salad, Roasted Beet for him and Wedge for myself, they were both great. Our wine and dessert cocktails were fantastic and you can see how generous of a portion desserts are served.
I highly recommend dining at The Hobbit, it’s a wonderful experience with delicious food!

The Hobbit is an upscale American and seafood restaurant located in the Rivendell Condominium building on 81st Street. It’s open Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and from 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM Friday and Saturday.
My friends and I had a list of spots to try this year, and this one was at the top. We’d heard nothing but great things, so I’m happy to say it didn’t disappoint. All the food was enjoyable and our server Vern made sure we were well taken care of.
We kicked things off with the Cherry Bomb Calamari and the Scallops Tagliatelle. The calamari, topped with toasted coconut and served with Shanghai aioli, was good, but the tagliatelle was the standout. Perfectly seared dayboat scallops paired with housemade tagliatelle in a truffle butter sauce, with peas, pancetta, Parmesan, and a drizzle of jus gras. Rich, fresh, and beautifully balanced.
Next, I tried the cream of crab soup, made with fresh Maryland jumbo lump crab meat. The flavor was rich and well-balanced, but I did encounter a few shell fragments. A truly great bowl of cream of crab should be smooth and shell-free.
For our entrees, we ordered the smoked cheddar pierogies, the red wine braised short rib, and the filet mignon. While everything was delicious, the filet was by far the best. You can choose from three preparation styles, we had it blackened, and it was cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection. It’s a dish I’d happily come back for.

Food was amazing, service was amazing and atmosphere was amazing. An amazing night for a birthday dinner for our 18 year old. Coconut cream pie was also…you guessed it amazing. Will be back when we are here again in October can’t wait!

Food was absolutely delicious. We got calamari, fried green tomatoes, Caesar salad, pierogies, short ribs, scallops, and two kids meals. Everyone loved their food. Pierogies, scallops, and fried green tomatoes were my favorite, unreal. Service was super fast, which was great since we had sleepy kids! Views were gorgeous. A great night.

Fantastic experience at The Hobbit Restaurant! Our server, Luke, was incredibly friendly and made our visit even better.
The food was delicious—especially the short rib, which was out of this world! We also loved the beef carpaccio and the fried green tomatoes. For dessert, their famous sweet treat was a must-try and absolutely tasty!
The views were stunning, making it a perfect night out. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

6.15.25 We made reservations. Parking was close by. Upon walking in, we were greeted and walked directly to our seats. Our waitress was fabulous. She was genuinely good at her job. There were 3 filet mignon variations to choose from, and they’re served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The 8oz grilled filet is $59. The $17 beet salad was delicious, as were the short ribs. Needless to say, overall, this was a perfect experience. For 3 adults, we spent around $315, but it was worth it.

The service was excellent thanks to Luke our Waiter. The food was amazing, compliments to the Chef! You do have to make reservations at least 2 days in advance. Worth it!!! They open at 5pm. Will be back!!

I came here for my sister’s bachelorette and had a fantastic experience. Food was incredible, as were the cocktails. The LOTR theming was tasteful and charming and we got to enjoy a fireworks show during dinner (put on by a nearby restaurant every Saturday night)! I had the Cherry Clover Club and the Peach Blossom Cosmo, and both were perfection. I also had the duck with peaches and lyonnaise potatoes, which was delicious. Our server Matt was attentive and personable and took care to make our dinner experience great. Runners and other staff were great as well! Highly recommend dining here if you’re in Ocean City!

What an amazing way to spend our 20th anniversary!
We were blessed to sit outside, and it did not disappoint! The peach caprese salad was delicious! The crab cake and pork chop were divine! And the creme brulee was superb! Gina took great care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Thank you!
