| - Unpretentious place with cloth napkins and excellent food. We left our kid at home, but a few kids were there, though I'm not sure if there is a separate menu or not. Not sure I'd bring a toddler, but a well-behaved elementary school student would do fine.
The lobster bisque is a huge bowl and since it's so rich, it really fills you up - beware if you also eat the excellent salt-crusted bread and order a large dinner! I had the steak and shrooms salad with a side of lobster mac and cheese. Salad was fine - it was a salad, steak was cooked medium as ordered. The lobster mac and cheese was fantastic - I'll go back just for that, but I'll work out a few hours first; it'll never be mistaken for Lean Cuisine. Took half of it home for lunch the next day since I was full of bisque already. Beer selections are good, and the wait staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Manager came by to say hello, always a nice touch.
I'm taking one star off due to odd seating - we were seated at a high table into the pretty full bar (that got more full by the minute), so we had to deal with off-duty salespeople chatting each other up and guffawing while they waited for the rest of their clan to get there and be seated in the private dining area. I almost poked one with a fork when his posterior got about 6" away from my lobster mac and cheese . I was only mildly annoyed by this until I went to use the restroom and walked through the nearly empty dining room. Maybe the tables were for being saved for their legendary "call ahead," non-reservation system or the dining room is only for groups larger than 2, but next time we'll ask for a seat outside of the bar during happy hour time.
