Inside, the restaurant has a laid-back, beachy feel that will instantly wash all your troubles away.

Between the thatched roof over the bar, colorful walls, and tropical décor, you'll feel like you've escaped to an island paradise - oh, wait - you actually have!
We highly recommend asking for a table by the window so you can enjoy the view while you eat.

Nothing is more peaceful than watching the placid harbor waters gently ripple in the wind.
