Chef does a tremendous job with flavors and innovative new dishes. Recently reopened and renovated. Not to be missed in Cape Charles.

I guess I hit this on a bad night or soemthing, but there was a huff in the air, They need a better beer selection and the food took awhile to be delivered. I had been here years ago and had a better time, but not this night.

This is a very good restaurant. Food and service are very good, but the wine selection is the best. There are many table locations with view off the bay.
