Stopped by for lunch and got the bacon cod Reuben. It&#39;s a good sandwich, not too heavy. Washed it down with a local IPA. Casual spot, decent for a quick bite.

A classic seafood shack by the water. The lobster roll was just right&mdash;fresh, tender meat with a little lemon and butter.

Been coming here for years, and the fried clams are the reason. They&#39;re always crispy, never greasy, and the clams themselves are sweet and tender. It&#39;s the one dish I know I can count on every single time. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

The pizza here is pretty good. The crust is nice and crisp, and I liked the fresh crumbled sausage. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal.

Always a solid choice for a good, hearty meal.

The rustic vibe is nice, but honestly I&#39;m here for the food. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender, braised in a rich red wine sauce. Mashed potatoes were creamy and soaked it all up perfectly. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

Perfect spot to refuel after a beach day. The fried seafood platter is huge! Really liked the crispy shrimp and flaky fish. Service was nice and quick.

Good spot for a quick lunch. The decor is fun. Gets busy at peak times, so maybe call ahead.

Been coming here for years, and their Beef Wellington is the reason. That pastry is always buttery and flaky, and the beef is consistently tender. It&rsquo;s the one dish I order every single time.

The gluten-free pasta here is a game changer. Fresh, made in-house, and actually tastes like the real deal. As someone who has to avoid gluten, finding a place that does it this well is a relief. The texture was spot on.

Solid lunch spot downtown. Got the sushi plate with miso soup for $20. Food came out quick, perfect for a quiet Friday bite. Fish was fresh, soup was hot. No fuss, got me in and out.

We had a reservation mix-up but they were super nice about it and got us a table right away. The server was really friendly and checked in just enough. Felt relaxed the whole time.

Been coming here for years, and their burgers are still the best in town. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The fried calamari and zucchini fritters are really good. The space is nice and open, with big windows that let in a lot of natural light. It just feels comfortable to sit in.

The BBQ chicken focaccia was massive, easily two meals for me. A nice, quiet spot away from the usual summer crowd.

The baked stuffed clams were a solid starter, really generous with the filling. Paired them with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, which cut through the richness nicely. A bit pricey for an appetizer, but the portion was huge.

The Tuesday taco and margarita deal is a solid find. Happy hour from 4-7 is a nice perk, too. I appreciate that the booths are comfortable and spaced out well, makes it easy to relax. The staff is friendly without being overbearing.

Great for a date. Cocktails were solid, and the vibe was nice without being too formal. Got the old fashioned and it was spot on. Service was quick, which I appreciate.

Came for a special dinner. The vibe was elegant but still cozy. Staff was sharp and knew their stuff. My steak was cooked just right, really hit the spot. A solid choice for a nice night out.

Preston was great, really on top of things. The paella was fantastic, and my friend loved her steak.

Got the loaded nachos to share. It was huge! Honestly could&#39;ve been a meal on its own. Ended up taking half of it home.

The view from the 19th floor is pretty wild, especially after dark. When the fog came in, it really did feel like eating in the clouds. The wine list had a nice selection of crisp whites that paired perfectly with the whole vibe.

Gluten-free tasting menu was a nice touch, and the crackers were appreciated. Portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, though.
