It resembles a surf shack, but this old waterfront restaurant regularly features R&B, reggae, Latin bands, DJs, mellow rock, the occasional jazz pianist and even 'silent disco,' where everybody listens to wireless headphones (and dances). Wander out to the bayside patio to soak in the views. The dinner menu features pier-worthy options like batter-fried oysters and whole roasted crab.
