Inside, big windows frame the bay while the dining room leans cozy‑romantic with a lively bar energy—great for date nights and celebratory dinners.
What to Order
Reviewers consistently rave about the steaks (ribeye and filet get a lot of love) and the signature crab cake. French onion soup, shrimp cocktail, and a handsome charcuterie board also earn praise. The cocktail program and wine list are highlights, so it’s worth arriving with time for a drink at the bar.

Good to Know
This is a restaurant, not a public roadside stop—restrooms are for patrons, and you’ll want a reservation during busy evenings and weekends.

Book a table to catch sunset light through the west‑facing windows—golden hour makes the room and plates pop. Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest; mid‑week dinners feel more relaxed.
