(March 10, 2022) Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce ‘s inaugural Restaurant Week, which kicked off last Sunday, continues through Saturday

Chamber Executive Director Kerrie Bunting said the first year event has been well received by the community.

“It’s going amazing,” she said.

Bunting said the fresh venture was planned in conjunction with the ERA Martin Associates Shamrock Division on Racetrack Road.

Roughly a dozen Pines-based food establishments are participating, including A bagel And, Abi’s Diner, Denovo’s Trattoria, Hunan Garden, Ocean Pines Country Club and Yacht Club, Paul & Vinnies, Pines Public House, Plaza Tapatia, Southgate Grill, Taylor’s Neighborhood Restaurant and the Hungry Donut.

To participate in the event, diners obtain food cards to get stamps from participating restaurants.

Three stamps are required to be entered into a raffle drawing held on St. Patrick’s Day.

Bunting said shortly after launching the promotion last week, at least two eateries had to request a restock on food cards, with others depleted during the week.

“Evidently people are showing up,” she said.

Food cards can be obtained from participating restaurants, the Ocean Pines Visitors Center at 11047 Race Track Road or the ERA Martin Associates Shamrock Division office at 11049 Racetrack Road.
