"Go the bar food or the seafood route at this restaurant at the start of Cookman coming from the beach. There are plenty of outdoor tables as well as an expansive dining room with floor-to-ceiling plate-glass windows for excellent streetscape people watching. For dinner, consider raw bar items, fish and chips, sausage and clam stew, or linguine with clam sauce." - Celia Buckley, Melissa McCart
