So, before you retire to the comfort of your vacation rental for the night, drop in to Gill’s by the Bay at the end of Buhne Drive in King Salmon. This family-owned restaurant on the bay has a lovely garden and observation deck for enjoying the boats and wildlife. The menu includes mouthwatering breakfast plates, daily lunch specials, and seafood sandwiches. You can sit inside the diner-style restaurant or enjoy bayside breezes while you dine on the outdoor patio. Try the shrimp omelette, or order a grilled crab sandwich to go.
