About

Sitting on the outdoor balcony of this out-of-the-way, homey establishment, feet dangling just above the sea below, and overlooking a picturesque bay... it doesn't get much better than is. That is, until the food arrives. There's something special about slurping raw oysters (quite possibly the best on the island) while overlooking the very farm they came from. Freshness isn't an issue here: oysters are brought in daily from the cages floating just a couple dozen meters out on the sea. In fact, you'd be hard-put to find something on this restaurant's all-seafood menu that wasn't fresh, brought in that day. Sure, it's a splurge, but one well worth it for the ambiance and amazing fare.
