I love Barb's Place! It's right on the dock, so as you eat you can walk around and look at the boathouses. Their food is excellent and I love going there on a sunny day.

Barb's Place is not inexpensive, but the food is good - so the value is quite high. I think the only vegetables on the menu are coleslaw and a Caesar salad, so vegetarians be warned. As mentioned, you sit on picnic tables outside that are right on the dock. It’s charming on a nice day, but be mindful of the weather. There are harbor ferries that run from the dock, so it would make a nice evening to take a harbor tour and end with a seafood dinner from Barb’s. Highly recommended if the weather is right.
