The chief attraction here is a generous outdoor deck (functioning as a grand back porch) overlooking a busy marina on a picture-perfect slice of shoreline. On a nice day, when you're looking out across the Sound with the drawbridge up and the boats bobbing, you'll be thankful that you're alive, with a beer in one hand and the other reaching to snag some hot french fries. Life doesn't get much better than this. If the weather's nice, the lobster roll is hot, the white wine icy cold and the sunlight ricochets just right off the rippling water, it's almost impossible to want for anything else.
