I read it is opening in April. I do not think renovations have started on the property yet. I am excited for them to open though.

I know Oysters are on the menu at 94th St. Liquid Assets.  Oyster Stew might be a special.  Here is a link to their sit ehttp://www.la94.com/ocean-city-maryland-restaurant-menu/Dining-Menu.  Watermans Seafood Co. in West OC also serves steamed Oysters and might also offer Stew as a special .http://crabsoc.com/about.  Another place to try is Fagers Island.  They also serve oysters.

Fagers Island
Froggies

There are no shortage of restaurants open year round in OC.  A few buffets, Reflections, Horizion's, Captain's Table, Mio Fratello's, Shark on the Harbor, Coins, and BJ's on the Water to name a few. You'll have no problem finding excellent places open.

There are lots of places open. Most major hotel's restaurants are open year round. You can also often get a list of open places at he Visitor's Center at the south end of the Convention Center
