Good food and service is always a must for a good destination. Our recent experience at East Sound was awful. A 'certain' Mexican restaurant (begins with a B) that use to be good is not even average. A neighbor also had this poor experience a month ago. Not too many choices in town. A high end waterfront establishment is very pricey for so so offerings.
