Great food, service and location. Who doesn't enjoy a great crab cake dinner with the view of the lake!

Overall good experience but the older lady hostessing on the back patio was SO rude. We had a reservation for 7 and she incorrectly had 6 and couldn't have been ruder about it. For how expensive of an establishment it was, I was shocked. On the positive side, our meal was delicious and my husband and I loved the champagne. We split the seafood platter and it was incredible! Food was really impressive. Service was slow but our server made up for it by getting us an anniversary dessert on the house which was really sweet of her! Really nice view and would definitely go back (just get a new hostess )

Stopped at Dutch's for lunch while boating on the lake. We sat outside because it was a pleasant day and the patio/deck area is so nice. Had a very nice bar out there too. Our waitress was fantastic. She took great care of us and since it was so hot out, she was quick to refill our waters every chance she could. I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad and it was one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had. Also recommend getting the blackened chicken if you like your meat a little spicy. Very nice spot and will definitely be back.

3.5 I arrived here by boat... so there's that. After a lazy Saturday in early fall spent carousing on the lake, my friends decided that we needed a new location at which to do nothing. But no one wanted to get off the boat. Luckily, my friend has a house in Deep Creek and he knew right where to go. At first I was a bit concerned that we'd look out of place... and then I remembered where we were and that when on vacation with Housewives sorts the presumption is belonging so no one cares too much about looks. Plus, we were arriving in a boat, so... We docked, grabbed a table on the patio and got to day drinking. I was on vacation so I went for the highly-touted pina colada. Being a former Miamian, I know from pina coladas. This was a bit too icy for my tastes but I was in western Maryland, not South Beach. Since man cannot live by liquor alone, we ordered some apps to nosh on. Neither the crab dip nor the spinach dip were anything to write home about -- serviceable but not memorable. The most memorable thing about the affair (interlude) was the expense. You're in a tourist trap and you will pay dearly for it. All that and I'm rounding up? Yep. We had quality service from Juan and things are what they are. You know where you are so you should know what to expect. I mean, I arrived here on a boat. It is what it is.

Let me be clear, this is a well-located place with great food and AMAZING staff who worked super-hard to make sure my 80+ year old mom's desire to be near/ see the water and also her mobility limitations were respected. That said, do not come here without reading the Yelp Reviews first. It is TRUTH in reporting. Specifically helpful data points from past reviews: Super-huge portions Difference between indoor and outdoor dining experience. High dollar prices. Super-huge portions. To deal with the super huge portion consider the "lighter fare" entrees and definitely makes sure that any appetizer is shared by 2 ppl. If you want dessert, 3 per app, 3 per dessert. Indoor/outdoor. Due to late arriving rain we experienced both outdoor and indoor. I had intended for us to be indoor, but when we arrived the weather was clear and my 17 yo really wanted to view the lake. The outdoor dining is a dockside lake bar. Honi-Honi with quieter music, better food (on site) and more dogs. The amazing staff quickly and cheerfully moved us inside when the rain threatened. The indoor atmosphere is different. Quieter. Calmer more "fine dining" As for price point. Prices aren't on the website. And they are high. 1 crab cake, bread, salad and baked potato is $40. But it's a really great crab cake. And was all together more food than i could finish. Would return - inside - to order from the lighter fare menu.

Great ambiance, food, and service. I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. Glad we picked this to celebrate a special occasion. Every dish was delicious, their crab bread is amazing. And if you like oysters I recommend the fried oysters. The steaks are pretty good too, tender and juicy. Will definitely be coming back here again.

Excellent seafood restaurant. We celebrated my sister-in -law's birthday and what a treat! The fried oysters and oysters Rockefeller were scrumptious. I had the shrimp tacos -so good- and caramel cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious and everything my family had was a hit too.

This will be two reviews in one. Our party of 8 was in Deep Creek for an extended weekend recently. We rented a pontoon and stopped at Dutch's for a light lunch. So cool that boat parking was available (obviously I'm not experienced in this realm), and we sat on the gorgeous patio. Great atmosphere and lovely service by Clarissa. The gang ordered some cocktails and light meals -- appetizers or soups mostly. We started with some pretty incredible bread with honey butter. The French onion soup was stellar (2 of us ordered); my husband loved the decadent potato soup. Several enjoyed chowder, fried green tomatoes or caprese salad. Not a single complaint. The drinks were lovely, too. The combination of the beautiful weather, patio, water views, friendly service and enjoyable meals really made this the perfect visit. Two days later, we had reservations for dinner. Our table was inside, which was ok as the day turned a bit gloomy. We were a little bit muddy from a hike in the rain, but were still welcomed. The restaurant is elegant and more traditional. Again, the bread! Menu varied and prices varied as well - something for everyone. I had the "lighter" salmon option. Perfectly prepared and the right size. My husband had the chicken parmesan, which was several pieces of chicken (tenders, I think) over linguini. He didn't complain and brought home 2/3 of his meal. The rest of the group had a variety of salmon dishes or scallops. In each case, the server gave separate checks, which is always such a relief in a big party. Incidentally, my sister was married and had her reception in the Silver Tree Inn many years ago. I saw the same dining room. The restaurant seems much bigger than I remember, but a nice bit of reminiscing. Looking forward to coming back.

A fantastic place in Deep Creek. Of note the side road to get there off the main road through Deep Creek is currently under construction, there is about a 10 minute detour so prepare accordingly. They have both indoor and outdoor/patio dining, we were able to get a reservation for the latter. It was a fun atmosphere with the outdoor bar. Service was excellent and staff was very friendly. Great drink selection. We started with the Hot & Spicy Shrimp, we really liked it. I had the Chicken Oscar as my entree, it was chicken topped with crab. It was terrific, would definitely recommend as a sort of different spin on surf and turf. This place is on the pricier side but certainly worth it. Would definitely recommend checking them out.
