I love this spot right on the water with a bunch of seafood options. Got the calamari steak which was pretty good- I rarely see it on food menus so I was stoked to order it. The Apple Pie Old Fashioned was one of my favorite things of the trip- super delicious with the warming spices ### kingvuddha — 5.0/5 · Dec 23, 2024 One of the best meals i had in a while.
