Delicious restaurant that uses organic, locally sourced ingredients. They offer something a little different than other restaurants: global flavors, local produce and a steadfast commitment to green practices. Their menus will always be dynamic and delicious, with options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. And a laid-back vibe in a restored 1700s New England barn. One of our favorites!!

The Bitter End is a casual restaurant serving lunch and dinner year round focusing on delicious fresh food
made to order, a diverse wine list you don’t expect to find in such a casual place and delicious cocktails all with a friendly price point.
Funky and super casual but somehow elegant and all in all totally amusing. A restaurant should please all the senses, not just the taste buds, all your “buds” are dining out, your ears picking up the eclectic mix of music, both nostalgic & contemporary, the server not only made you smile but laugh out loud, while your eyes travel throughout the room taking it all in.

Amazing walking trail right along the rocky coast. Beware: you may get sprayed by the ocean. Romantic benches to sit, cuddle, and take in the serene ocean/coastal views. But be aware that it can get pretty busy in the summertime, but well worth it!
