The free event includes racing action from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with championship finals starting at 2:15 p.m. Afterwards we had dinner at one of our favorite spots for delicious food & drinks.

We highly recommend Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant anytime.“

“CW Prime at the St. Regis is an absolutely stunning restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere, perfect for a special celebration! As someone who has learned about the unimaginable horrors of the meat, dairy, and egg industries, I was initially hesitant to step foot in a steakhouse. However, I attended for a birthday celebration and was pleasantly surprised to find a premium plant-based option that was not only available but absolutely delicious!!

I had their grilled sweet potato dish, and let me tell you—it was loaded with flavor, filling, and truly satisfying. While the majority of the menu isn’t aligned with my values, it’s encouraging to see a restaurant like CW Prime offering a premium plant-based option that stands out in quality and taste! With so many people learning about the health benefits and transitioning to a vegan lifestyles, I hope this inspires more restaurants to expand their plant-based offerings!

For anyone like me who chooses compassion and health, or for those curious about trying something new, I wanted to share this experience. It’s proof that even at a steakhouse, you can enjoy a delicious, cruelty-free meal. 🌱✨ Thank you CW Prime, well done!“

“Great facilities, location and staff.“

“Honestly the best meal I’ve had on AMI and we’ve been coming to the beach ten years. Love this new restaurant!“

“good place, but the dog on the bar/barstools has to go. every waitstaff person pets that dog and never wash their hands. if its a service animal, it needs to be on the floor, not being fed at the bar by employees and patrons, which i have witnessed.“

“Great, casual, friendly spot.“

“Been going there for years ! Never had a bad meal and the music talent is great ! Whoever is on the grill cooking those steaks gets it right every time! Keep up the good work ! You guys rock!“

“I celebrated my birthday at this quaint and unique space last month, and have been back several times since.
Meaghan, the owner, is friendly, accommodating, and a lovely person to chat with.
We have tried just about everything on their food menu, as well as sampled many of their wines. Everything we tried we loved!
We particularly enjoyed the Lola Pinot Noir. As we learned, Lola, is the label of her brother's vineyard in the Sonoma Valley.
Don't expect over-the-top service, expect excellent food, excellent wine, and excellent conversation.
Just love this place! Supporting local restauranteurs is so important. Keep the national chains from absorbing or forcing the mom and pops out.
Cheers to the entire Jennings Provisions team!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Compass Bar & Chill -- thanks to our wonderful server, Cindy. She was incredibly friendly and hospitable, making us feel right at home from the moment we sat down at the pool area. Cindy promptly took our drink orders and brought them with a smile, then followed up to take our food order. Everything—from the delicious fish tacos to the perfectly cooked quesadillas—was spot on.

Also one of the few places with a good coffee menu…thank goodness! Espresso Freddo (cold) hit the spot on a hot day. Service was 100%.“

“This place NEVER😋 let's me down. Delicious breakfast sandwiches.“

“We stopped here for dinner, after a day on the beach. The food was delicious along with the Beachside cocktail. But…. the highlight of our dinner was Collin. His contagious smile and fun personality made us feel like we were having dinner with a long-time friend. He kept us laughing and took excellent care of us. The Beach House is very blessed to have Collin as a part of your team. He truly went above and beyond to make our entire experience excellent. We jokingly told Collin that we came to the island looking for a sugar daddy. After meeting him, we would consider becoming sugar mamas :)“

The owners Staci and Josh have worked so hard alongside their staff to bring back the Boiler Room and boy have they outdone themselves!

They were also very accommodating when we brought 11 family members in for Monday night football! We cannot recommend Boiler Room enough. YUM!“
