The Scene – Home Port is so popular that when owner Will Holtham threatened to sell out a few years ago, locals kicked up such a fuss that he changed his mind.

Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Reservations are required--call a week ahead to eat inside.
- Look Good:

An Island experience
by lisacottagecity
This is a great, well established island gem. The food is basic, nothing fancy but you get what expect. The pricing is typical island, more than you would pay else where, but the atmosphere and general overall experience is worth the money. While as a local I can't afford to come here weekly, it is certainly somewhere I would take visitors to get a great taste of fresh seafood, a wonderful view and a homey feeling.
- Pros: Hasn't changed in years, seafood is very fresh
- Cons: Parking is limited
