“Casual restaurant and bar. Definitely gives you the beach side feel. Food is ok. They have a great set-up outside during summer. If you don't decide to eat here, just stop by and check-out their outdoor area. They also have live music in the inside bar. ”

“I have wonderful memories of this place from my 20's. My friends and I spent many nights here and next door. Also, if you think you should wait a little bit before driving then walking along the boardwalk is a great way to make sure you are good to drive. ”

“Happy hour on friday nights is wonderful. "5 for 5" offers 5 unique appetizers and a nice red and white wine- all for 5 each. Also, $1 oysters. Busy, small, charming bar area which is sometimes too crowded but worth the wait. The restaurant is also excellent.”

“Great Breakfast and Coffee. Try the Crab Benedict, if you love seafood. Local fresh eggs, great berries and yogurt.... Fire place for colder days . You can eat in a colonial tavern room, sunny glassed in porch or lovely umbrella-ed patio. ”

“Interesting and same artifacts are still intact. The "signature" wood is thru-out the home. On his stair case, walls, even even the furniture. Light fixtures, curtains, etc. Wear comfortable shoes.”
