Dolphin is a popular spot on the wharf, famous for its delicious clam chowder served in a soft and chewy sourdough bread bowl. Whether dining in or ordering at the counter, the chowder is consistently a hit. The seafood platter, featuring fried fish, calamari, shrimp, and fresh scallops, is also a customer favorite. The restaurant has a great reputation for its friendly service and quick turnaround. Although it has been temporarily closed due to damage from the ocean, many fans hope it will reopen soon. Visitors also enjoy breakfast options like the brisket hash, Dolphin scramble, and pancakes. The restaurant is known for its beautiful setting, kid-friendly atmosphere, and wheelchair accessibility. Staff work hard to serve customers quickly, though busy times can be slower. Vegetarian options are available, and the location offers a welcoming atmosphere for families.
