This is a very rustic place, rather expensive. No drinks (except wine and beer), no reservation, no credit card and just seafood, but very fresh and good preparation. We could observe wales with babies from our dinner table.

The Sea Chest is a GEM on Moonstone Beach. We arrived, were warmly welcomed and sat in the small bar awaiting our table. Just had time for a glass of wine and we were seated. Service at the Restaurant is Excellent. The wait staff are real professionals. We had clams casino, the best ever and shared the small cioppino wonderful.... More

This restaurant was highly rated, so maybe we were expecting too much. The service was great, but the food (cioppino and scampi) was ordinary. They don't take reservations or credit cards.
