Nippers Beach Grille

The aromas of Caribbean jerk spices and sizzling conch fritters waft through the air, luring passing boaters to dock their rides in the complimentary slips at Nippers Beach Grille. After disembarking from their schooners or GPS-equipped sea monsters, customers can either stroll into the open, 9,000-square-foot dining room or onto the massive waterfront deck, both of which boast scenic seaside views. In addition to the watery vistas and salt-filled air, the restaurant spreads a laidback, Caribbean vibe by piping ambient island music from its sound system and stocking its tiki deck with rum-laced cocktails and imported Red Stripe beers.

The menu also reflects this tropical theme, spotlighting Caribbean staples such as jerk-spiced diver scallops and sweet conch fritters, as well as fusion dishes such as grilled cheese layered with sliced guava and mac 'n' cheese studded with jerk chicken.
