The locally owned, award-winning eatery features fresh seafood, chicken, pasta, steak, home style sides, salads and sandwiches with daily lunch specials, 12 outstanding homemade sides, mouth-watering baked rolls and seafood favorites prepared any way you can think of. For something different, try their Hawaiian Ribeye or get your fish pecan-encrusted.
