Frommer's Review
In this cracked-crab-and-champagne-loving village, Bud & Alley's (named for a dog and a cat) has spectacular sunset views from the rooftop bar and a menu that changes frequently, but always has savory surprises. The menu offers an infusion of Basque, Italian, Louisiana, and Floridian dishes that might include seafood stew or sautéed head-on shrimp with garlic, shallots, and cracked pepper. You can dine indoors or out, on the screened porch or under an open-air gazebo where you'll hear waves splashing against the white sand. Jazz is usually in the spotlight on weekends. On New Year's Eve, everyone from miles around celebrates at Bud & Alley's. Call ahead to see whether a noted guest chef is cooking or a special wine-tasting dinner is scheduled.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
