On the two trips I've been lucky enough to go to the US, both times
I went to this restaurant.  It's a wonderful view, great food, fantastic
to sit there in late Summer and watch the sun go down over the ocean.
Pity I didn't have an Alfa to share it with (just a couple of US
Rent-o-barges) but that whole piece of coastline is just magic.
If you live in the US, or you're just visiting, you should really
make an effort to see this particular spot.
