At 208 Talbot Thursday night, the staff was getting ready for the last weekend of service.

The current management, which also owns Brasserie Brightwell in Easton, ran the restaurant for six years. Previous owners ran it for 10.
The “closed” sign on the front door of the Key Lime Restaurant on North Talbot Street in St. Michaels is yet another indication that winter is upon us. Key Lime plans to reopen in March.

The St. Michaels Crab and Steak House is taking its usual winter break and neighboring Town Dock has cutback from its seven-day-a-week schedule. Its winter hours will feature lunch and dinner served Wednesdays through Sundays. Look for the “Open Today” sign at the entrance to the parking lot off Mulberry Street.
Mark Chew, owner of Marco’s on Talbot Street says his restaurant will be open seven days as week through the winter from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. He said that in March he is planning to rename the eatery Markaritaville to work better with his outdoor deck seating. “We are also going to have a new menu in March that will have everything under $20,” he says.
Theo’s will be open Wednesdays through Sundays, opening at 5 p.m. and Akai across the street will be open Thursdays through Mondays.
