Description

Most any time of the year, this stylish Strand-area restaurant is packed to the gills, so reservations are definitely recommended. Shiny stainless-steel buckets produce the menu items identified as "from the kettle," including a full-bodied gumbo, the island's best steamed mussels and a lighter version of shrimp scampi.
