Scotty’s – We will admit a suspicion that the whole breakfast experience at Scotty’s is part of the reason for this award – the sea breeze and view of the whitecaps enhances your appreciation of an egg pancake folded around your choice of ingredients. And you do have plenty of choices – all the standards are here, plus a chicken enchilada omelet, a fresh-tasting Greek omelet with spinach, feta, olives, and tomato, and several others. There are over twenty in all, served fresh and at a reasonable price; the shrimp, crab, and spinach is most expensive at a mere eleven bucks. At that price you can come back often to enjoy a great start to the day.
