Fresh and well-prepared, the menu is a mix of many traditional favorites, particularly seafood, done in interesting and innovative ways. Just different enough to make great conversation all the way home. We had lunch in the light and airy non-smoking dining room with lots of windows overlooking river and marsh. The walls are backdrops for local artist Sally Carson's upbeat watercolors, the paneled ceiling is festooned with ship's lanterns, and the white linen tablecloths are dotted with jewel-tone water goblets. One flight down is an outdoor deck on the river with geranium and lobelia-filled window boxes.
Tomatoes ripen on the sun-warmed railing.
A basket of warm, crusty French bread arrived. As delightful as the menu is, it offers little in the way of one-person appetizers, forcing me to choose one or the other. In the end I opted for a Luncheon Special. My meal was a treat. Seven large, meaty shrimp not overly battered, perfectly seasoned and fried.
