Rosé on tap, fresh oysters and insane sunset views 😍

Can't tell if I'm feeling nauseous from the rocking boat or the douchey clientele. Likely both.
Mariana RodriguesAugust 27, 2016
Great for sunset, come early to avoid big queues
Linnie DJuly 31, 2015
You won't need a drink because you'll feel nauseous from the boat rocking.

The Sherman's cup drink is like the adult version of a juice box. Just what you need after a long day. Old bay chips FTW.

The view and atmosphere is unparalleled. Food decent, but expensive. Don't expect amazing service, but it'll do for the view.

Good in summer. On a 142 ft schooner. Best outdoor restaurant VV
