Frommer’s Review
In this cracked-crab-and-champagne-loving village, Bud & Alley’s (named for a dog and a cat) has spectacular sunset views from the rooftop bar and a menu that changes frequently, but always has savory surprises. The menu offers an infusion of Basque, Italian, Louisiana, and Floridian dishes that might include seafood stew or sautéed head-on shrimp with garlic, shallots, and cracked pepper. You can dine indoors or out, on the screened porch or under an open-air gazebo where you’ll hear waves splashing against the white sand. Jazz is usually in the spotlight on weekends. On New Year’s Eve, everyone from miles around celebrates at Bud & Alley’s. Call ahead to see whether a noted guest chef is cooking or a special wine-tasting dinner is scheduled.
