My wife and I came here with some friends for the first time the other day, and I have to say, this place is a shitload of fun.
There’s a great curbside bar in the shade up front, with bean bag toss games and big umbrella’d picnic benches beside it.
It really looks like something out of Fire Island or the Hamptons, with a relaxed beach hut vibe. There’s even mini-golf in the back, and soft serve ice cream behind the bar downstairs.
This is easily the kind of place into which you can sink an entire day, just hanging out at a good spot at the bar, ordering up summer drinks and browsing the fresh seafood menu in between competitive bean bag toss tourneys.
My wife and I split some Jonah crab claws and a king crab leg. Everything was fresh, tasty and ice cold. There was a nice salty brine to the meat from both crabs. I was a happy man.
We will definitely be back here again soon, and it’s a pretty easy trip to make on the free Ikea ferry, downtown.
