Our Story

A Legacy Since 1947

"Locals still smile and call it what they always have — the Golden Platter Bistro."

In the late 1940s, the Willie family opened a small seaside eatery along Chesapeake Bay. Fresh crab, oysters, and rockfish came straight from the bay each morning. She served her dishes on large bronze platters bought secondhand, polished until they gleamed.

Now in its fourth generation, the restaurant still stands at the same shoreline spot — the bronze platters remain, the seafood still comes fresh from the bay, and hospitality still feels like home.
