The restaurant has a beautiful view of the beach and offers outdoor seating, but we opted to dine inside. I ordered the almond-crusted crab cakes served on a bed of fresh cabbage slaw with an Asian dressing and chilled noodles. My daughter opted for the hamburger with fries. Both dishes were delicious! Our waitress, Rebecca, provided excellent and prompt service. The restaurant has separate restrooms for men, women, and wheelchair accessibility. There is ample free parking available. We will definitely be returning to try more items from the menu!

My husband and I enjoyed dinner at the bar, walked on the pier while waiting for our food, and took a beautiful sunset picture. Our bartender/server Lisa was fantastic. The Oysters Rockefeller were delicious and the oyster shooters were also tasty. I definitely indulged in a lot of oysters during that week.

The prices are a little higher, between $20 $45 ish per plate, but it is justified in my opinion. The restaurant is right next to a pier which we walked out on after dinner and had a great view. All in all I would definitely come here again.

Great food and great service. Wait staff very knowledgeable. Clam chowder although good, did not taste like NE Clam Chowder.

I guess you Must have to be from NE to get it right. Have to start with salt pork or something like it, onions, and finely chopped celery. Then a must is clam juice.
