Food Scene
This is a tiny little place right on the boardwalk, and a short 10 minute stroll from our beach house. The fish is so fresh, the service is good and the bartenders are really nice.

This is very family friendly - food is great - service is great.- prices are really reasonable. There is almost always a line and no bar to hang out at inside, so you're likely to be waiting outside for your table.

They are well-known for their salads. Get the combo! Lots of people call ahead and do take out since the restaurant, itself, is pretty tiny.

A great place for a date night or fancy dinner. The food is fabulous as is the service. The wine list is very very pricey. Even the corkage fee is high at around $40. But it's a great special occasion place. There is no bar. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Drinks & Nightlife
The restaurant is pretty expensive and a little stuffy for our taste, but the bar is great with its view of the ocean. They almost always have live music at happy hour. And the bar menu is very tasty.

Mutt's is a great beach bar/restaurant. It's actually my husband's favorite spot. Usually not super crowded at night, it's hopping during the day. The whole menu is great from the pizza (my husband's favorite), to salads, sandwiches and even breakfast. And they serve schooners of beer. You can't go wrong here.
