The Scene
With its prime location near Government Center, this upscale-casual eatery melds white tablecloth service with cheeky seaside touches like tabletop Old Bay and oyster crackers. Horseshoe-shaped booths and well-spaced tables comprise the spacious dining room done in tasteful, supper club styling. Diners can sip classic cocktails in the adjacent lounge, ideal for solo dining.
The Food
Though a national chain, the daily printed menu bears distinct local flavors. Fish is flown in daily from across the U.S. and around the world, including swordfish, red snapper, tuna, marlin and wahoo, and can be enjoyed as a chef's daily specialty or simply grilled or broiled. An ever-changing selection of oysters on the half shell, classic appetizers (try the jumbo lump crab cake), lobster, decadent a-la-carte sides (like truffled mac and cheese) and steaks round out the varied menu.
Hits
The day's catch is on display, allowing diners to hand-pick their meal, lending a sense of discovery to the meal.
Misses
At off-peak hours, the somewhat cavernous space can feel a bit too quiet and sedate.
