Tiger’s Milk: nice place for dinners and drinks with a good view (unless you are back at the bar area). My favorite is the Halloumi/Roasted Eggplant/Avo/Roasted Butternut salad. Their burgers and pizza are also decent.
On The Rocks: right before Big Bay this is a nice pick for sunset dinners. Anything I tried off their menu has been delicious. A bit more special/fancy than a regular restaurant, you will most probably need a reservation for the weekends.
Morgan’s: tiny cafe, yummy breakfast, usually always crowded and good vibes.
