Also located within walking distance or a short drive into Fairhaven on the 3rd floor of the old-world Sycamore Square building. They offer a classic American bistro-style menu and a full bar. I love this spot for the bay views, moody lighting, exposed brick, and original hardwood floors that you can still see the black char from a fire and notorious drug bust that happened in 1983.

Absolute MUST for breakfast & lunch! The Mount Bakery also has a second location in Fairhaven, but the downtown one is my favorite. They have the most amazing Belgian waffles, omelettes, and the best cinnamon roll you'll ever have in your life (trust me).
