Mediterranean, Greek grill. As close to “the real deal” as it comes without having to fly to the Mediterranean! Beautiful laid back atmosphere, the dishes are created with fresh produce with the menu designed to share, with smaller plates. I recommend the fried local squid with seaweed and sesame and pink peppercorn mayonnaise, grilled octopus with fava bean whip and sweet pickled vegetables, and a Greek-style beef tartare, but the star dish Is the 48-hour slow-roasted New England lamb with jus and soft garlic. The grilled white fish with cauliflower skordalia, and confit ocean trout with a salad of broad beans, artichoke hearts, is also amazing.
