Good Morning Gloucester

I enjoyed my dining experience at the Mile Marker recently. I was there for a late lunch/early dinner so it was pretty quiet but I was happy with the menu variety, the service and the atmosphere. The view just makes me smile. As I told GMG Jimmy, this one is getting placed into the rotation as we are often looking for that late afternoon meal.
