New Hot Spots! Check out these recently added attractions. Each is worth a visit from the cottage.
DiGiovanni's Dock of the Bay Restaurant
Located on historic Solomons Island in Southern Maryland, DiGiovanni's Dock of the Bay offers a unique combination of authentic Italian seafood, a cozy, intimate atmosphere, excellent service by warm and friendly staff and a beautiful water view that looks out toward the Chesapeake Bay. When weather permits, outside deck seating is a lovely way to enjoy a leisure dinner while sipping wine and watching boats gracefully glide by. A dock sits right outside the restaurant for boaters' convenience. John and I recently had an opportunity to visit DiGiovanni's Dock Of The Bay Italian Seafood Restaurant on the water at Solomon's Island! It was fantastic...you should try it yourself on your next visit to the cottage. It is a gorgeous spot! Located at
