Food Scene

Topper's, at the Wauwinet Inn, is the closest restaurant to Pocomo. It has excellent, tho' expensive, food. Try the patio for appetizers and drinks and enjoy the beautiful Head of the Harbor site.

Another favorite over the years. Lovely old inn with attractive bar and restaurant on the street level. Consistently good fare, not gimmicky. Tough to park, but well worth a try.

Probably our most favorite place to eat. The Sea Grille is just beyond the rotary so no need to fight town traffic. A varied menu which offers fresh seafood, meats, local veggies and home-made bread
