Description



This upscale-casual spot pairs its popular bar with a warm atmosphere. While the menu features oyster specials, some diners find the oysters and standard dinner entrees average for the price. The kitchen instead earns praise for comfort dishes like the lobster mac and cheese, which features a smoked Gouda flavor and large, buttery chunks of lobster. During daytime hours, the menu shifts to standouts like Greek yogurt pancakes and salmon flatbread.
