Overview

About This Establishment

Brine from Local Long Cove Oysters hits first, then a herb note and sorbet melt into a bright finish; uni butter coats the tongue on the next bite. Maine Crab brings fennel brightness and a pepper bisque that carries sweetness like a sea breeze. The Blue Lobster with Tagliatelle arrives glossy and satin, beurre blanc lifting the lobster into a creamy kiss. This is coastal dining with water views and a calm, thoughtful pace.

What Diners Say

Seafood-forward plates balance brine, sweetness, and a glossy beurre blanc. Local Long Cove Oysters with uni butter deliver richly textured contrasts. The crab dish brings fennel brightness and a touch of citrus. Some guests crave deeper flavor development, but the kitchen's precise technique and reliance on local ingredients stand out. The tasting menu runs about $150, with a $95 wine pairing and a $125 caviar supplement; on the deck, the burger remains a more approachable, affordable option.
