The Narrows Restaurant Kent Narrows, MD

Nearly everything about Kent Narrows grew from the water separating Kent Island from the mainland. Where the Water Narrows is a storytelling dinner served beside it, inside a restaurant built on the footprint of a 19th-century oyster-shucking house. Writer and storyteller J. Coursey Willis leads guests through the people, places, and changing life of the Narrows. Executive Chef Matt Cohey answers each chapter with a course. This autumn, the story widens to the farms, marshes, and great flyway overhead. Five generous courses give the food and stories room to unfold. The menu includes jumbo lump crab in The Narrows’ cream of crab, Mousse in a Bag reimagined as the bridges outside, and family-recipe Narrows Coffee. With the duck, J. pours Harbinger Chambourcin, his private label Kent Island-made wine. The history of Kent Narrows is still being written. For one evening, it includes the table where you’ll be sitting. Wednesday, October 14 Doors 5:30 | Dinner 6:00
