Located at a local lobster wharf, 5 minutes from the property. Great for lobster rolls and lobster dinners. Outside seating. Usually quite busy in the summer, expect a little bit of a wait. The wait will be worth it! If the parking lot is full please do not park at the other wharfs on Spruce Head Island. Those areas are working waterfronts and not for public parking. Thank you!
