GREAT food and atmosphere, you'll probably see them bringing in the oysters and you'll be able to learn about oyster farming. Not the typical touristy seafood restaurant where the seafood isn't good. This seafood is great so it's worth the 40 min drive. Stop in Kilmarnock first for shopping eating or vinyarding at the Good Luck Vineyards, then Irvington for all that town has to offer then hit Merroir.
