Food scene
Best seafood on the island in my opinion. Caution, their winter hours are Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM. It’s closed every other day in the winter. This is a 3 season place and is at it best on a beautiful summer's day. Eat outside at the picnic tables or take you order to go. There's not room to eat indoors..

This restaurant is beautiful both in the winter and the summer. It’s right on the water and has spectacular views of the bay and a small walking area where you can sit and look at the bay on a good night. They also have a great ambience with a fireplace. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a classy date night with someone special. Afterwards, you can walk over to more ruckus Redeye Dock Bar for drinks.
