Food was excellent, except for the crab cakes--mostly filler and definitely NOT LUMP crab.

The food was fresh and perfectly prepared and the portions were generous. The lobster risotto was delicious, and had chunks of lobster on top.

From the greeting to the goodbye, this was an exceptional experience. The food was some of the best we've ever had on our annual vacations here. The view was beautiful, and the service was top level. It has risen to the top choice for us and we can't wait to go back!
