They’re open daily for lunch and dinner year-round, and they feature five dining rooms and a full bar. I should warn you that they don't take reservations.

I had the pleasure of dining there a few years ago, and I have to say: it did not disappoint. They fry great calamari. So I’m totally on board with USA Today’s decision.
