Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deborah Scott

From the OpenTable editors: Sweeping water views and creative seafood, like everything-crusted ahi and a lobster and fontina BLT, set this bayside charmer apart. Not to mention a shaded patio, complete with heaters and a fireplace, which might be the prettiest outdoor dining space on Harbor Island.

    The mussels were the biggest hit— and I am a Maine girl who loves her shellfish. The place was buzzing and I was so happy that the New York steak came out perfectly done and hot. Seafood pasta was delicious. Our server was a real pro—she had lots of tables but was always there when we needed her. The young man assisting her with clearing and cleaning for next course was very efficient and friendly. It was my husband’s birthday and they— unbeknownst to me—brought out complimentary cake and candle. We all want to find out who made that cake cuz it was so moist and tasty!! This was our third time here and we will be back again for sure.

    As always, C Level was great. We had lobster bisque, oysters, brie cheese appetizer, and a great N.Z. Sauvignon Blanc. Our server was happy to let us have a long birthday lunch and take our order piece by piece.
