Meals begin with a basket of bread and rolls baked on the premises, but instead choose the great bread sticks, which may include a delicate mix of herbs or perhaps a hint of hot pepper. The appetizers artfully adorn the plates. The small wheel of cheese has a thin, sweet glaze and is sprinkled with slivered almonds. The fruit includes strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and marvelously fresh blackberries. The small, grilled slipper lobster tails sit on a bed of field greens.
Salads also excel.
The vinaigrette complements the slipper lobster nicely, but the grilled meat tends to stick to the shell and the flatware provided is too large to be of any help. The slices of duck have an outstanding, rich, complex flavor that blends perfectly with the tart vinaigrette and apples. Carrots, string beans and baby potatoes are served on the side. Most specials consist of fresh seafood. Only one entree was disappointing.
