Food is excellent, service was good. Had Breakfast, although they are also open for lunch as well. Not open for Dinner.Small dining room and limited parking. Many customers park behind other customers, making it hard to get out of your parking space. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.The waitress was excellent and had a sense of humor. Quaint place. Not a whole lot of choices in the area.

My wife and I had dinner at sunset last night. The view of the ocean was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious with generous portion sizes. My wife had the shrimp louie salad and I had the Captain's Platter. I highly recommend this place.
3. The River Grill

We had visited the casino previously and as the choices are limited, we decided to eat there. We had identical meals, steaks, baked potatoes, mixed veggies and salads. The only difference was the dressing, I had ranch. The dressing is served in a little plastic cup with a top. This is an indicator that they have been poured way in advance and kept cool. Since I was the one that ended up having 'issues' late in the evening and through the next morning, I am pretty sure the dressing was the bad thing.This leads me to believe that the county health department does not check the dates on the labels.No, I do not plan on eating there again if I go back.
