“Otter Cove Restaurant is one of our go to restaurants here in town. The atmosphere is really really nice with a large dining area or a smaller more intimate bar area. And it is spotless!!!! The staff is professional and friendly*****
The food is excellent. Great choices and fairly reasonable for our taste. I often get the OC salad with a side of chicken or shrimp. One of my fav salads by far- just a great combination of apples, salad, etc. it’s large so I always bring half home. My husband goes for the salmon with their sides- always plenty of food.
You will not be disappointed.“

“Fresh Salt delivers a terrific dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is relaxed but elegant, with a beautiful view that sets the tone before you even sit down. The food was outstanding, fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that felt both coastal and comforting. What really made the evening, though, was the staff. Our server, Darcy was attentive without being intrusive, warm, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely welcoming. The entire wait staff worked together seamlessly, creating a sense of ease throughout the meal. It’s the kind of place where you feel taken care of. Highly recommend for a leisurely lunch, special dinner, or any time you want to slow down and enjoy a meal made and served with care.“
