After many years of visiting the island, we tried Black Eyed Susan's for dinner. What an intimate setting. We loved that we could BYOB. Our waitress was great. The food was good. I wish my cod had more flavor. It was kind of blah. My husband loved both his entree and dessert. The best part is watching the chefs at work. It was like having dinner and a show. Amazing! We would return!
