The Shark on the Harbor prides themselves on not only having fresh seafood and local produce but also buying only from organic farms in the area and the fishing harbor right outside the restaurant. Their menu changes constantly based on what is available, and be sure to make a reservation to guarantee your spot in the cozy dining room. Located on the harbor of Ocean City, The Shark might be a little bit out of the way but is well worth visiting.

Barn 34

Restaurant, American, Seafood, $$$

Map View

A restaurant in a barn almost has to have a farm-to-table theme, right? You’ll notice Barn 34 amidst the tall hotels of Ocean City and will feel comfortable in the large dining areas on the first floor and extra cozy on the second floor, which features sloped ceilings. Breakfast and brunch (served every day) might be the best meal to visit for, with a variety of eggs benedict recipes. But with any meal, you’ll also get a Puerto Rican flair, inspired by the owners’ time on the island.

Blacksmith Bar & Restaurant

Restaurant, American, $$$

Map View

Go a little bit outside Ocean City to the town of Berlin, Maryland, and get away from the crowds of vacationers to visit Blacksmith Bar & Restaurant. Chef and owner Justine Zegna was on the forefront of the farm-to-table movement, having operated restaurants in College Park, Maryland, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Dewey Beach, Delaware, that all connected with local farmers to bring fresh produce to the dinner plate. The foods are made from scratch with care and include classics like crab cakes along with more global dishes such as Thai curry and empanadas.

Liquid Assets is a bistro that serves local and fresh ingredients in a cozy setting and is open for lunch and dinner. As you sample wine from the “packaged goods” section of the store, you can enjoy small plates with local ingredients like crab, homemade ricotta, tuna, or mussels, or opt for a full meal from their good selection of dinner fare. They also offer a big selection of cheese (not all local), a great wine list, and a lot of local beers.

Jules Fine Dining is another hidden gem in Ocean City. Located in the Ocean City Square Shopping Center, it might look plain from the outside, but inside, chef Julius Adam Sanders is creating new twists on classic Maryland recipes. The restaurant offers an extensive wine list and usually has a good mix of surf and turf on the menu, which changes depending on what’s in season and fresh.
