Local seafood, superb wine, awesome happy hour, and fantastic brunch. You’ll find amazing service and food that’s out of this world. Daily happy hour (4-6 p.m.) includes bloody mary oyster shooters, peel and eat shrimp, $4 craft beer, and more.

Crave Italian Oven and Bar

Modern cool melds with an old-world classic here for wood-fired pizza and creative cocktails. This upscale experience is perfect for date night or cocktails after a tough week. The Napoletana pizza is terrific, as is the center-cut filet mignon.

Sea Captain's House

Find your traditional seafood favorites in a converted cottage with an ocean view. They feature fresh food and top-notch staff to ensure a great experience. They’re famous for she-crab soup, but be sure to leave room for hummingbird pie.
