The food here is always good as we make our yearly family trek to the beach including to this restaurant. We did hit some post season issues, it seems, the week after Labor Day, some wines not available and one dish not available. Lovely scenery and fewer diners on a weeknight off-season made for a delightful dinner ambiance. Very interesting locally sourced food and food combinations. We missed the crab dip, however. Not even on the menu this time.

It was a double birthday. As noted in the reservation. Nothing was recognized about the birthday. There were flies everywhere because the ceiling fan wasn’t working. So get it fixed. Food was good but got lost with everything else. The Bistro is. It the same. I would not go back
