Fodor's Review:

This is not a sports bar, so don't be fooled by the extensive (and impressive) beer list or the three televisions and the Buffalo Bills shrine in the front bar. Just grab a seat in the side room, where local artwork graces the walls, or relax on the covered patio overlooking the main square and watch the (Truman) show go by. The standout here is the seafood, from lunchtime shrimp po'boys to the always-available crab cakes, mango-and-chicken plate, and the perfectly prepared catch of the day (the tuna and grouper are both excellent), served over equally fresh garden greens and vegetables. Breakfast -- including eggs any way you want 'em, French toast sticks for kids, and beignets with fresh fruit -- is served every morning from 8 to 10.
