TYLER POINT GRILLE,

32 Barton Ave., Barrington, 247-0017.

This unassuming cottage-like building sits at the very end of a mini peninsula. The cheery, helpful staff, creative chef and soothing interior make it well worth the trip. The menu is an eclectic offering of Mediterranean, Caribbean and south-of-the-border cuisines, with an abundance of seafood variations. Should you have trouble choosing, we recommend the chicken chipotle ($11.95), or the herb-crusted baked scrod ($11.95). And the wood-grilled pizza, with a wafer-thin crust, rates among the best we've ever had.
