They have homemade breads and a very cozy, laid back atmosphere. We always get their homemade corn beef hash eggs benedict and love their home fries (because they make them with heavy garlic flavor.)

Upscale dining on the water. Great outside bar (separate from the restaurant) Live music, most nights. Reservations are typically a must but for a group of 2 or 3 you can sometimes wait at the bar (crowded) and get a table. Definitely suggest calling ahead to see if there is an opening for a reservation during your stay.

Great outdoor space with fun drinks and delicious food; typically have live music. Much more laid back than the restaurant.

Irish pub with good food and always has Irish or Jazz music. We can't get enough of their Original Irish eggrolls! We get the eggrolls every time we go! FYI - We like to sit at the bar or on bar side as the music can get loud. Not somewhere when first walking in we initially thought would become a favorite but we were wrong! Does tend to be an older crowd, but we have yet to have a bad time going here by ourselves or with friends.

Nice space, a mix of laid back yet upscale and the oysters are fantastic – if they have the “friend oyster” on the menu – raw oyster with a fried oyster on top – it’s a must for us! Depending on day and time reservations are not a bad idea, but not always necessary. We always fill up on the oysters and appetizers for our dinner, so we don’t tend to order full dinners here.

Homey '50s diner serving hearty traditional New England fare for breakfast & lunch. Cash only. This was such a close 2nd for our favorite breakfast spot – love the atmosphere and staff; but the parking can be tricky and there is no place inside to wait – but it is amazing!

Great Walk! Can park when you first pull in and have a further walk, or drive to the end and park for a shorter walk. The longer walk you walk through trees, a marsh and then onto the beach.

I have done this with family (my husband doesn’t do boats!) and everyone has always enjoyed themselves. Many guests have also done this tour and we only have heard wonderful things from them as well.
