We disliked that it was listed in the best restaurant for lunch with a spectacular view and their were a few different parties that all showed up there at the same time and it was closed. How sad.

It was really average food wise, but again the people were nice. The prices too high for the food that was offered. No fresh crab on it's own.

Good for a quick breakfast. Enjoyed the view while eating our breakfast.They don't fry anything, so it was still good.

A simple sandwich shop that makes excellent sandwiches. The bread is super fresh and the crab sandwich was delicious. 2 people can easily share they are huge which makes it a great value. Clam chowder was different but really good. Stunning view of the harbor from the patio.

They are only open for breakfast and lunch but the prices are some of the best on the island. We shared a sandwich, bowl of soup. and a tall latte and an iced tea for under $20. All the ingredients were fresh and the bread was baked on site. The clam chowder is the best on the island. The sandwich... More

Funky little cafe overhanging the cliff above the harbor. Seek it out for lunch or brunch.

During our walk, we came across a small 'Mom & Pop' type cafe sitting on a hill, away from the crowds, with a great... More
