Description
Beyond the raw bar, the kitchen prepares classics like clam chowder and fish and chips. The lobster mac and cheese is rich and portioned generously enough to stand in as a main course, alongside raw options like salmon tartare. The bar keeps pace with a strong drink list, featuring a well-made Bloody Mary. The staff is notably accommodating to families with strollers, and the kitchen moves fast enough that walk-ins can often get seated and served quickly, even during busy Sunday happy hours.
