AAA Diamond Inspector Notes

Known for their wood-grilled open kitchen and fresh, local seafood that is often delivered straight from the dock to their door. The mesquite-grilled lobster and linguine and clams made with freshly shucked clams are just some of the popular choices. The menu is written on a large chalkboard as many options change with the days catch. Servers are friendly and will help make recommendations. Many meals are served in the large skillets they were cooked in to promote sharing at the table.
