    The Sunset Specials are amazing - especially the Lobster & Fillet. The staff are great too - most especially our waitress Rushell. She was friendly, efficient and fun! The live music was a perfect accompaniment to a very tasty dinner - I highly recommend!

    Celebrated an anniversary. First time at this new restaurant, what a welcome addition to the island. Very nicely appointed interior. The outdoor deck seating was our favorite. We visited end of season, so the menu was small but everything we ordered was delicious. Our server, Payton was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back next summer.
