Really enjoyed my time at Bentleys .... The $30 dollar lobster plate featuring the 3-pound lobster is amazing .... he even throws in the magic sauce from the crab cakes ..... Bentley is a true saint.

Really enjoyed my time at Bentleys .... The $30 dollar lobster plate featuring the 3-pound lobster is amazing .... he even throws in the magic sauce from the crab cakes ..... Bentley is a true saint.
I know the place, and have never been in that joint, going to try to get by this trip, even if its for a cold one. Pretty much have no plans at all!
all his meals are amazing...but a 3 pound lobster would have been out of this world der....wowQuote:

there is new construction going on at the SeaStar Inn........building more rooms!
SeaStar Inn has to turn a lot of guests away especially in the winter thus the new rooms......
they are going to be exactly the same as the existing rooms design..........
you would never know there was construction going on as it's on the other side of the pool and not even near any of the rooms and they are generally pretty quiet when working..........

1st floor is going up and then the will cast the top and build another floor on top for two stories.......
going to be really nice mon and be ready for next winter.........
so more guests can enjoy our SeaStar Inn.........yah mon
Great pictures Marko.
