this is my favorite, although its not in the immediate area....their menu is adventurous but always fabulous. If you get there early you can avoid the noise that does tend to build up as the night progresses and the restaurant becomes busy!

OMG, this is the BEST breakfast ever.....BUT you have to expect to stand in line as there are no reservations accepted. It sits off the road and is tucked into a marina so there are some nice views while you wait. Its always a challenge to pick what to eat here.....go on line and check out their menu.
