Here's the thing about waterfront restaurants: Many of them have a raw bar that is out-of-this-world. That's why Coastal Kitchen and Raw Bar is such a fan favorite. FRESH is a word they take very seriously.

Many people recommend going to Blue Water Cafe for the happy hour specials, but we suggest going simply because their fish tacos are the best in the game. Plus, you can get a crazy cool view of the water while you chow down.
