Although we didn't stay at the restaurant, we stopped by for dinner and drinks, and the food was incredible. I ordered the flank steak with red pepper sauce, and I can honestly say it was the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was lovely, situated right by the beach, and the staff were friendly.

We had a delightful experience at Shade restaurant in the Inn. The drinks were excellent, and the appetizers—especially the mussels and corn fritters—were fantastic. For our main courses, we enjoyed salmon, fish and chips, and flank steak, all of which were beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful. Our server, January, was exceptional and really enhanced our dining experience. Service rating: 5/5.

This is a fantastic location! It couldn’t be more convenient to the beach. The area is beautiful, the staff is excellent, and the on-site restaurant is amazing. I would definitely stay here again. Rooms: 4/5
