Harpoon Larry's Oyster BarCuisine: Seafood
Price:$$
Dining on oysters chased with a budget beer is just the perfect thing to do on a beach vacation, and Harpoon Larry's does it best. Cheap, delicious oysters are the specialty, where the prepared dishes are also good but definitely take second seat to the raw bar. Sitting just a block away from the ocean, the restaurant maintains an old school beachfront bar vibe that is great for adults and children alike.

When your family needs a casual place to start off your day, a trip to Pocahontas Pancake House might fit the bill perfectly. Decorated from floor to ceiling with a slightly kitschy Native American theme, young kids will love the place for that aspect alone. As for the meal itself, the plates crammed with eggs, pancakes, meat, waffles, French toast and more are plenty to fill up even the hungriest of diners. Most days during the tourist season this place is pretty packed, so just expect a bit of a wait if you head over during the most popular breakfast hours.

An upscale escape from the fun, but chaotic, atmosphere of the town, Zoé's features some of the region's most renowned chefs preparing what they do best: great steaks and indulgent desserts. Paired with wines suggested by an expert sommelier, the meal goes beyond just good and into the world of fantastic dining. The selection of steaks is fantastic, though there are some great seafood options as well if those are more to your liking.

Offering hearty American food served in an inviting turn-of-the-century building, Icehouse Restaurant sticks to traditions in its food and service. Every dish is filling and delicious, emphasizing steak and seafood selections but with a wide range of salads, sandwiches and wraps to please everyone. A welcome break from the sometimes over-the-top atmosphere of the town, the meals are similar to what might be found in any normal American household. Visiting the Icehouse can be a reassuring, homelike experience in the midst of a wonderful vacation, with little that could serve as a reminder of the restaurant's location in the midst of a popular seaside resort.

Lovely for a special occasion dinner, Fire & Vine is sleek, modern and a little extravagant. It's the kind of restaurant where you make reservations well in advance and slowly stuff yourself with course after course. For a cheaper, less formal affair, show up during the lunch hours where hearty salads, burgers and smaller steaks are the main offerings. Dinner is the best way to experience all the restaurant has to offer: from its fine wines to its excellent service to its award-winning menu.
