Food scene
Wonderful place for a light lunch or happy hour, even for non-shellfish lovers. Wine, beer, nice appetizers and shuck your own oysters or get a lesson from the pro-servers. Raw and BBQ options. The oysters in this Bay are famous due to the saline of the water and currents. Our favorite outdoor lunch and great experience. Make sure you reserve well in advance on OpenTable.

Skeptics are won over everyday at this local favorite. You would never know this is a Vegan wine bar. The food is out of this world, and we think, the best on the island. Mike, the owner, along with his staff, are gracious and wonderful hosts. Good prices, variety and an unexpected surprise. Weather permitting, checkout the patio's!
