10Best Says

This popular restaurant is known for its setting right on the beach. It is so close to the ocean that waves crash on the windows during high tides. The Marine Room also happens to serve fine, globally-influenced cuisine via a menu that changes with the seasons. One could start with the signature lobster bisque, accented with enokitake mushrooms, pancetta and yuzu cream or an Ocean Trilogy (lobster medallion, ahi tuna tartare, Hiramasa sashimi). Main course highlights have included Mulberry Wine Braised Brandt Beef Cheeks and Sake Poached Maine Diver Scallops. Impeccable service, attention to detail, and an award-winning wine list round out the experience. Check the calendar for high tide happy hours and dinners as well as other not-to-be-missed events.
