My wife and I are quite particular about the quality of food and service, even more than the appearance of the place. Good food and good service is hard to come-by these days. We are proudly decerning folks.
That said, we rave about their outstanding crabcakes and steaks. We had an annual Knights of Columbus dinner celebration for solidarity, etc. The K of C local members have kept this place as a sort-of secret. The place is definately historic (old) and a bit worn, but that is what they preserve. Near-by there is a historic living-history 1600's settlement that still speak the old form of the earliest English settlers! The outstanding and "best-value" St. Mary's College is about a mile away. But, that is side-tracking; this is a testimonial of the food and wine, and teas, and punches, and brandies are worth noting. The once famous Evans Seafood Restaurant on St. George's Island has fallen into disrepute, but is being resurrected by the rib and barbecue outfit called Bear Creek; but they were never as good as this B&B restaurant at Broome Howard House. Likewise, the chef that left the "reknowned" The Tavern restaurant in the gated community of Wildewood to open the 'new' Tidal Basin restaurant in Lexington Park by the Naval Air Base Test Center is fancy and just "ok" compared to the Broome Howard House. Try it.
