I found that food execution was on point all around. I felt that seafood never was in competition with other components in the dish. The seafood was treated as the star and the rest of the dish played a supporting role. The food was amazing, service was awesome; however, they didn’t have an espresso machine and no digestives, which was odd for the caliber of experience we had.

We love the Beach House but last night our table was in the covered patio area at a table for 2. There were 3 large groups which made for a very noisy unpleasant experience for our intimate dinner. The main dining room is the place to sit!
