What diners are saying
Celebrated for its unique, rustic charm, this outdoor dining spot offers an unforgettable "next level" experience centered around open-flame cooking. Diners rave about the fire-roasted specialties, particularly the clams, lobster, and corn, noting the delicious smoky flavor that sets the seafood apart. The atmosphere is unpretentious and fun, featuring tree stump seating and a BYOB policy that encourages guests to bring their own wine, beer, and sides. While service can be leisurely during busy times, staff are consistently praised as warm and welcoming, making it a must-visit destination.
