    Had a very nice Christmas Eve Afternoon meal at the bar. Service was wonderful, had a nice chat with the couple sitting next to us, and our food was all very good — shrimp ceviche (holy jalapenos! Be prepared for HEAT!), tuna, octopus, chips and dip, lobster-shrimp fritters, and the southern biscuit, which is the size of a salad plate. It's no ordinary biscuit!

    Fantastic Christmas Eve lunch at The Mooring. Sat in the patio on the water's edge. Nice and warm with overhead heaters. Seafood Risotto - a special seasonal item - delish with lobster and shrimp. Pan fried sole with butter sauce very delicate and served with potatoes and some greens. Service perfect. Food exceptional. A great time by all. Definitely would recommend.
