Food Scene
From April to November: This is the BEST in the area and only a mile from our home, you can walk to it. Our beloved Chef Scott Signori passed away this winter, a tremendous loss. His team is reopening with a different model and we know it will be great. An eclectic interior with a great atmosphere; sitting on the deck is always a treat. Stay tuned on their website
