Uncle Ernie's Bayfront Grill – Seafood
Perched on the edge of the bay, this historic home-turned-eatery invites guests to linger on sun-drenched decks where the salty breeze mingles with the aroma of fresh-caught seafood and blackened spices. As the sky transforms into a vibrant canvas of orange and pink at sunset, the lively atmosphere comes alive with the clinking of glasses and the soulful sounds of live music, creating a quintessential coastal escape.
