Now for a few recommendations...
Grumbles - @grumblesseafoodco - Fast and casual counter service with Waterside dining with fresh seafood fare, fried baskets, fish tacos, tuna bowls, and a great bar. Grab a martini (best on the island), hit the deck, and watch the dolphins surf the waves of the incoming tankers.

Blue Water Cowboy - @bluewatercowboy - Love sushi? We do too! And trust us when
we tell you that BWC isn’t just the best sushi on the island, it’s the best sushi just
about anywhere. Great place for the kids to come along and have a sneaky good
cheese pizza. If you like your fish fresh and raw, look no further.
