This is no longer a restaurant, but is now a rental. My husband and I really enjoyed the amenities at this rental. It was a cool place to stay!

Cool beach bar and restaurant in Sandy Bay...the chef was working so hard making each I order as they came in with all fresh ingredients...a bit of a wait but well worth it. Great spot for sunset

Spent the late afternoon early evening sitting at the bar watching ED working his magic in his one man kitchen. If you want to eat it a beat it this is not the place for you. Ed is on his own, preparers each dish with loving care. Great personality loved listening to the Island history.nnKevin the bartender, warm, funny and informative. Informed us that don't encourage eating the restaurant mascot!nnGreat food (do not be in a hurry )nEd and Kevin make a great team.nnThank you both, for a great evening.nWe will be back.

I only had the beer but the service was still very good, I would like to go back to try the food. The prices were affordable compared to the other place so I hope to return to try and see how it goes.

They always make you feel like family, in a good way. I had the honor of being the first to have the ribs from the new menu and they were great.

Fantastic food prepared by a talented chef with a wide menu of traditional and local dishes, bartender crafts the drinks instead of just pouring them, wonderful location to watch the sun set, just a place off the beaten path for a quiet romantic dinner and drinks, the folks are so nice and helpful, live music on a few nights, beach bonfire sometimes, local events, a not-to-miss place for sure. check the hours on their website, it's not one of those commercial all night party places, it's so much better. Definitely going to return.
