Restaurant in Margate
Margate's dining scene is quietly excellent for a town of 6,000. Steve & Cookie's By the Bay is the special-occasion anchor on the waterfront. Tomatoes handles the reliable Italian-American weeknight, Bocca Coalfire Bistro does artisan coal-fired pizza, and Ventura's Greenhouse is how locals get their fresh seafood without sitting down.
