    Lobster Dock
    Mitch & Dawn have specnt over 10 years making the Lobster Dock the best Seafood Restaruant in the Harbor, and it shows. YOU are their number 1 priority as soon as you step up to order. Great menu, no pretense and a superb view from the east side of the harbor.

    This is our local, here in the harbor. Everybody in town knows Ralph & Elena, they have a massive menu year-round and a very cool outdoor dining area. Consistantly delicious, great staff, family-oriented.

    Robinson's Wharf
    You have to take a short drive to Southport Island, but the food and view is worth it. Also a fish market, you see the fishermen come by all day dropping off their catch. Has a great view of Decker's Cove. Try the Lobster, Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato club.

    Cabbage Island Clambake
    A Classic! The price includes a trip on the Bennie Alice that ends up on, you guessed it, Cabbage Island, where kids are tending coals and throwing seaweed on top of lobsters, steamers, potatoes and corn. Cover it with a canvas, let steam until done and you are in heaven. Great experience.

  • Fine Dining
    The Boathouse Bistro
    Karin, originally from Austria, learned her craft in Spain and has developed an extraordinary Tapas-style menu with both local ingredients and a Euro feel. Top deck is THE place to have a blueberry Sangria and soak up the Vitamin D.

    Ports of Italy
    Sante Calandri and his staff have elevated Italian Dining to an art form with their Milan-inspired menu. Think Veal Piccatta instead of Veal Parmesan, and there is no lasagne here! Great wine list, eat inside or out. A treat.

    The Thistle Inn
    Max and his right-hand Chef Michael have put together a very cool menu that can be enjoyed inside the rustic facility or outside under their majestic trees. Warm & mild? Definitely eat outside and you'll swear you were back in Europe.

    China by the Sea
    You're on vacation, so you should have what you like, right? Well, I personally like Chinese food and China by the Sea makes fresh, delicious Chinese food that I feel was made just for me. Besides, who doesn't enjoy a drink with an umbrella in it?
