For starters, the enticing menu includes baby clams in Creole sauce and lobster ravioli with Jim Beam butter sauce. With the fish market a mere ten minute drive away, the entrees offer tempting dishes from the sea, such as oven-roasted sea bass, grilled swordfish, jumbo shrimp, pan-fried lobster and scallops served on buttered fettucine. Also noteworthy are the grilled lobster medallions and hash browns, drizzled with a mild spinach pesto, and gazpacho.
