What User doesn't like about Shade:
Large parties on the porch, after cocktails, command the whole space. You can’t hear yourself think, the waitstaff are challenged to hear you…it’s enough to ruin one’s dinner, which has some interesting choices on the menu specials. It’s only breakfast for me now. View all feedback. What User likes about Shade:
A great little casual dining experience with amazing food. Tuna tartar, Caesar salad, seafood chowder, grilled salmon were all very good. I would have liked a bit more anchovies in the crumble in my salad. The roasted Brussels which came with the salmon were yummy! View all feedback.

Not a huge selection and pricey. Waitress was very nice, though.

It was a perfect meal and ambiance on our last evening at staying at the Inn! The service was above and beyond and just love the place so much !

Just not good. Extremely inconsistent. What this place needs is a little bit of competition--nearest restaurant is about five miles away. Frankly, nothing we tr...
