Description
Tucked past an easy-to-miss highway turn, this marina spot changes with the seasons. Summer brings a lively outdoor bar setup, while winter shifts to a quiet, relaxed pace. The kitchen cooks to order, turning out rich lobster bisque, squid ink pasta, and crab cakes alongside non-seafood options like eggplant parmesan. The staff is welcoming, though service can slow down when the room gets busy. Note their strict booking policy: your entire party must arrive within 15 minutes of your reservation time, or the table is released.
