It was a beautiful evening so my husband and I decided to go to the sunset grille and eat outside. We enjoyed the food and view of the sunset over the water.

Our dinner was great. The server and associated helpers were all friendly and helpful. We ate on a Sunday evening after Labor Day and after a heavy morning storm so it may have been quieter than usual. It was a great dinner, though, and I would very happily go again if I am in the area.

The view is spectacular. Make sure you get a table on the deck. Food is OK not great. Service is good but you’re there for the View view so deal with the rest of it.

ordered a hugo spritz but returned it. i dont think they used good brand elderflower liquer. Calamari special was very good. Stuffed sole was a crab cake that a piece of sole was put on top (not rolled/stuffed) and broiled to the point that the sole was not flaky, very dry.
