This is a nice place for a diner date. They have a great view of the water. Dinner with a view is always good. I ordered the surf and turf with lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was great. The steak and lobster were cooked well. The food is a little bit on the expensive side. I will definatly dine there... More

I had called ahead to check on the entertainment for Friday night. Little did I know until the end of the conversation that I was talking to Fitz himself. I was impressed with the casual, but cozy atmosphere. Dimmed lights, fresh pressed able cloths on the table and a very attentive hostess. The menu selections, as well as the wine... More

The atmosphere at back creek bistro could not be better- gorgeous views of Solomons island especially at sunset. I have eaten many dishes here, all my food has always been good. The dessert is fabulous, especially the lemon berry mascarpone cake The only down side to back creek bistro is the service. It always takes at least two hours for... More

Nicest place in Calvert County by far. Awesome view and atmosphere. Very friendly service. Great prime rib. The lobster bisque will leave you wanting more. Had fried oysters when they were in season and they melted in my mouth. The crab gnocchi is excellent. Best Manhattan around. Have very good martinis and specialty drinks too. Usually have live music on... More

A secluded location overlooking the creek at Solomon's Island, Maryland. Absolutely fantastic view, very good wine selection. The food is very fresh and made to order, they were eager to accommodate a special diet. Very quiet the night we were there, but they do have music some nights. Food was excellent, the service was good, but the waiter was stretched... More

We read the reviews that thought this would be a nice meal. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the service. The restaurant had only two servers and another person, who could have been the owner. After 15 min we finally had a waiter come to our table. Other tables also had similar issues, if not worse. After taking our order... More

Excellent service, beautiful view....could use some landscaping and a little "breaking up" of the large dining room...from a design standpoint. It would be a little more intimate. The food was very good. Not quite excellent, but the details would probably not be noticed by most people. To a real foodie, there are a few things that could be improved. Our... More

We have visited the Solomons area many times over the last several years and dined at nearly every area restaurant during that time. Regretfully, it was only last weekend that we discovered The Back Creek Bistro. The Bistro is located on Dowell Road just ten minutes from the other Solomons restaurants. It is situate on the water overlooking the Calvert... More
