Beautiful open ocean views from inside the restaurant. There’s a small sandy beach you can sit on or swim in in front the this restaurant (at low tide!) and fishing pier to walk (if it’s open or you can rent it - ask at the restaurant) They have really amazing pie, I recommend the Double Delight! All the food is very good here.

Brand new and people are saying good things.
Just newly reopened, remolded after hurricane Ian. Beautiful outdoor deck right on the water. We just tried it ourselves and I thought it’s become expensive but the food was good.

Top Pick #2 I’d say but it depends on what you’re looking for. this place just opened on April 17 after hurricane Ian, which was in September 2022. It’s all new and it’s absolutely gorgeous and it’s on the beautiful water and it is a beautiful restaurant and we’re so excited.!!
