John Mandis' Market Inn

This restaurant gained some fame when their crabcakes were featured on a food network show, so we were eager to try them. I chose the jumbo lump variety, expecting a delightful experience. Unfortunately, both the traditional and jumbo crabcakes were quite disappointing – they tasted no better than the frozen Phillips ones available at the grocery store! My oysters Rockefeller were large but rather bland. Overall, our group felt that the food was just average. Even the key lime pie didn't impress – while the meringue was nice, the key lime filling was an odd green color and way too sweet. They did have a good deal with a $25 early bird meal that included an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. If I were to return, I'd stick to that option instead of splurging on other menu items. On the plus side, they offered complimentary valet parking, and there was live piano music. They also seemed equipped to handle large groups. However, I doubt I'd make the effort to come back.
