Walking into the establishment I should have prob turned around and went somewhere else. An older man walking into the place saw me coming in the door after him and purposely let the door close in my face. This happened twice. Not the restaurants fault but set a tone. Sat at the bar and was promptly greeted by the bartender. I needed a moment to look at the menu and she gave me ample time. Wine list is very basic. All the Chardonnay btg is Oaked and from Cali no real variety when it comes to the btg catagories. Being as it’s a seafood establishment I wouldn’t think it’s too much to ask to have a petite Chablis, a Sancerre, an Albariño , or an interesting white wine btg. I ordered the Albariño they have by the bottle. The wait staff looked around for the bottle for quite some time. The bartender came to me to tell me it’s by the bottle only. I knew that before ordering it but I guess she didn’t. They finally find the bottle and a guy who wasn’t the bartender was given the task of opening it. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever had to watch. He mentioned they trained him on how to properly open the bottle but he was going to do it his way because his way was easier. He struggled to cut the foil.once the foil was cut instead of turning the corkscrew to open the bottle he turned the bottle while the bottle sat atop the bar. Worst presentation I’ve ever witnessed. Oysters on the half shell were delicious! Ordered sea bass with two sides and I’ve literally never saw a smaller portion of sea bass. I get it’s a tough call with inflation and everything costing more. Maybe offer two portion sizes? I would have Gladly payed more for a bigger portion. Ordered the orange ginger glaze to go with it and the glaze was nearly tasteless. None the less the sea bass tasted very fresh and the old bay fried and vegetable medley all were very flavorful. Finished my glass of wine and the bartender never refilled the glass . I had to do it myself as she watched me pour my own wine. She asked “are you still doing okay” just as I finished pouring a glass. Im going to give them a pass right now on service because good help is extremely hard to come by but my experience was less than average and I more than likely will never be back. Only walked over from the Mercedes dealership because I was having my car serviced. Best part about my experience was a guy who was sitting at the bar smiling at me and telling me to have a good day as he walked out of the establishment.

Went here for our anniversary last night and the food was amazing only complaint is the portions for the price and the lobster tail was overcooked. They were slightly smaller than I was hoping but also understand seafood is expensive right now. We ordered cream of crab soup, broiled seafood platter (lobster, oysters, clams, stuffed shrimp and salmon) and the crab imperial. Sides were asparagus, fries and twice baked potato. Everything had amazing flavor. We really enjoyed it.

Well, the fish, of course. Very nice selection. Calamari was great. Smelts were quite “fishy” however. Have had them many times so I know and love them. The retail market attached is a nice addition.

My wife and I have not been to Feby's Fishery for a very long time. We stopped in for a nice dinner recently. After being seated in the bar, our orders were taken. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, I had the Surf & Turf, and my wife ordered the seafood spaghetti. Everything tasted very good. Our service was great too. We will be back again and not take as long as before.

A family member ordered two dozen oysters. They were fresh but full of sand. Also while I was waiting, looked at the fish in the refrigerated case. They should be ashamed. The swordfish, tuna, salmon was not fresh at all. You could tell because they were very dry. Have shopped in Myrtle Beach SC. Shoreline of Connecticut, Outer banks of NC. I know what fresh fish looks like!!

Some of the best, freshest, well prepared seafood I’ve had.

Went tonight on a whim with my fiancé and can I tell you we had the best meal and service I have experienced in a long time. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Living in North East, MD doesn’t allow for many casual contacts with dining beyond our range. With that in mind, I took a special day to enjoy a lunch at Feby’s. The scallops with crab meat is a typical dinner entree but my server Amy made it work for my lunch. It was a generous tasty portion of 14 bay/sea scallops topped with lump crab meat. The 2 sides of asparagus (delicious) but cole slaw (nightmares of school cafeteria cloe slaw) are as noted. Amy did an efficient and embracing job as a server. The glass of Riesling wine was a nice complement to this meal. Will definitely be returning to sample more seafood entrees.

Our very first time here for a birthday dinner. We had a wonderful experience all the way around. Delicious food, fast courteous service. Very clean and a nice atmosphere. We will definitely return.

I really enjoyed the food Totally recommended if you are willing to go to a date They have a decent wine menu They also have tables upstairs so you can have privacy and relatively quiet space
