    This was the splurge restaurant for my girlfriend and me, on our five day shopping spree in southern CT and RI, and it was well worth it. An elegant location directly on the ocean. I particularly appreciated the excellent table we were given, after enjoying cocktails at the bar. It isn’t every day that two women receive an excellent table, so thank you to them for that! My girlfriend had the lobster risotto which she loved and I had the bass which was delicious. This restaurant is a definite must. And, if you peek next door, you may glimpse Taylor Swift’s home.
