Highly recommended for seafood lovers. Enjoy a beautiful candle light meal while overlooking the ocean. Valet parking. Located in the old port, 12 minute drive from Falmouth, 20 minute drive from Freeport. Reservations in advance recommended. I recommend the local raw oysters, bangs island mussels, anadama bread, and my personal favorite, the pan roasted halibut.
