    Nice oceanfront restaurant- I’m sure it’s hopping in the summer with outdoor seating. We enjoyed great seafood dishes including oysters, tuna, crab cake - all were tasty. This restaurant has a great bar too.

    Greta service and food. We loved the cocktail options, everyone was happy with their meal! The kale and Brussel sprouts salad was delish, and the tapenade. My scallops were perfect - I requested them well done and they were excellent!

    Our family had New Year’s Eve dinner here. Ambiance was lively and festive, but not overwhelming or too crowded. Our server was friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious, especially the fresh oysters. Great experience!
