Dining in Paradise! From lobster rolls to ceviche, filet mignon, short ribs with ravioli, to beignets and lemon mouse cake, every bite was amazing!! Sitting on the patio just above the sand with gentle crashing waves at sunset, I can’t think of any better choice for Friday night dinner and beach walk with friends. Everything was perfect in every way! I’m grateful for the Beachcomber, my favorite get away right in my own backyard.
