Marina Variety Store Restaurant

One of the city's best-kept secrets, this seafood joint's unassuming location atop the City Marina is clean and cozy with spectacular views of the water. Service is spot-on, and the fresh fare is bursting with flavor, as are the breakfast hash browns topped with sauteed shrimp and brandy hollandaise. For dinner, devour the heavenly crab cake platter with honey buttered beer bread before heading downstairs for drinks with the locals at Salty Mike's Deck Bar.
