Put this enchanting feet-in-the-sand restaurant on your list of must-do
places. The food is excellent and the wine selection is good and affordable.
But, the secluded beach setting in this old fishing village is what you come for.
Call well in advance to request a table at the water's edge. Menu selections
tend toward the nouveau; pesto sauce, fresh herbs, nuts, fruits, and peppers
are used in creative ways. You can't go wrong with the grilled seafood, but try
something more adventurous for a real treat. Worth a special trip.
