Ask for the "especially local and fresh" stuff. There's always something special to discover and enjoy that's not on the menu .

Evy Hanson

Great seating outdoors with view of the pier and people watching . Shady during lunch , 4-5 pm nice afternoon sun in August. Love the lobster tacos with sunset margaritas ... Second time in one week!

Amazing Salmon ????

Personally thought it was overpriced. We waited forever just for a salad and fish and chips . The quality of the food was poor. The crab cake appetizer was fake to me. All fillers and no crab .
