Our take

The upstairs Marina Restaurant closed in 2023 after more than 30 years, but the Dockside Eatery downstairs kept going. People come for the deck, which looks out over the boats to the water, and for breakfast: bagels and lox, breakfast sandwiches, pastries and Caffè Fantastico coffee. Later on it's chowder, sandwiches and gelato, with beer and wine out on the deck.

Local tipParking at the marina is tight, so park at Turkey Head and walk down. Go early, because the fresh food can sell out.
