Everything was incredibly great! This is always such a fun place to have dinner and the service staff are always well educated and attentive. Management and hostess are just the best! We love that most everything on the menu is gluten-free and the chef is very attentive to any other allergies we have. We got engaged on a previous visit, at this restaurant and they went out of their way to make things nice and special for us!

Serving casual, Mexican-style fare for lunch, Fore & Aft has a prime vantage point for viewing the avian sanctuary located just beyond the back yard of the Inn, where scenes of graceful egrets and herons gliding to and fro are everyday occurrences.
