Located on Stearns Wharf. You can drive up to the restaurant on the Wharf. Lee our waitress made it a pleasure to dine there. The food is tasty and excellent.

Wonderful oyster selection, ahi tartare, and mocktails were fantastic! Sitting outside by the ocean, wonderful! Thanks for a great late lunch! Shoutout to our fantastic waitress, Kara, for her outgoing, friendly demeanor!

Visiting from the Midwest where “fresh” seafood is scarce, we dined in for a late lunch and were able to get a table right away. Shortly thereafter, tables started to fill up quickly. Our server was very attentive and had great suggestions. Atmosphere was cozy and delightful, with the most amazing views, too. I ordered a classic Paper Plane cocktail that was refreshingly tasty. Food was fresh and, oh, so delicious! I can’t wait to return for more!
