Zoe's Steambar is a reliable Ghent institution for Chesapeake Bay seafood — steamed blue crabs, oysters, and clam chowder in a no-frills, local-favourite setting. The steamed shrimp and crab legs draw regulars, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a good choice for a casual dinner in the neighbourhood.
On warm evenings the outdoor seating fills up quickly. This is the kind of restaurant where locals go when they want decent seafood without driving to the beach. Prices are moderate; service is friendly.
