A New Addition to Easton’s Dining Scene
Had lunch at the Tidewater Inn’s new Hunters’ Tavern restaurant the other day. (Yes, the snapper soup is still on the menu—and it’s still as good as ever.) The new dining room drops the funky, blue martini-bar atmosphere of the old Restaurant Local and returns a more Eastern Shore vibe, with mounted decoys and woody accents. This is clearly an attempt to lure back the locals, and, judging from the crowded bar, it seems to be working.
The dinner menu wanders from land to sea and includes a wood-fired bison burger ($13) to “rock ‘n’ chips” ($14), wild rockfish served with “Chesapeake remoulade and tangy cocktail sauce. Pricier items include the standard jumbo lump crab cakes ($25) to a cowboy steak, served with a chipotle demi-glaze and “seared” potato salad ($33). Most interesting might be the grilled pumpkin steak ($16),marinated in a teriyaki-maple sauce and served with pumpkin-apple jus, black lentils and basmati rice.
The kitchen is still working out the kinks, but Hunters’ Tavern appears to be another nice addition to the Easton dining scene. My only complaint: Just wish I had a little more sherry to put in my snapper soup… Yum!
