The first evening on the coast brought a ludicrously early dinner thanks to an equally as early flight. After stumbling around the beach reading menus, somehow we settled on L’escale because it’s always crowded as it was early this evening.

That is, until I read the menu and started salivating over the scallops. I had to have them. The restaurant is small, but warm and…
