    Iron Whale is always a hit! From its menu (both food and cocktails), to its service, to its ambience, and all in between, I would highly recommend this restaurant! A view of the ocean is always a nice background, as well. :)

    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.
