From the reviews
View is excellent!! Wine by the glass selection is great too. We only had the seafood tower and tomato&burrata salad, and all taste great
My family and I are visiting from Texas, and this has hands down been the best place we’ve eaten so far. One thing we always struggle with when traveling out of state is finding places that actually have good seasoning and flavor, and we definitely found that here!
Getting married at Barrel House Tavern
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
