Nine reasons not to leave for dinner

Every kitchen is run by people we hired rather than licensed, and every menu changes when the supply does.

New England seafood · $$$$

The Onquavela

Lobster, striped bass, and chowder that has not changed since 1974 because it does not need to.

Bar · $$$

Dark oak, brass lamps and a rum list of ninety. The bar snacks are better than they should be.

Breakfast & lunch · $

Open before the boats go out. Eggs, chowder, and a lobster roll at lunch with no filler in it.

Raw bar · $$

Outside on the water. Oysters, clams, cold beer and paper on the tables.

Private dining · $$$$

Twelve seats at the end of the quay, one menu, and windows on three sides.

Practical

Every kitchen keeps an allergen matrix at the pass and every menu is available in large print. Tell whoever seats you and they will tell the kitchen.

Welcome everywhere except the gaming floor and the bars after 8 PM. There is a proper children's menu rather than three fried things.

Full vegetarian and vegan options at every venue, not a single substitution, and gluten-free bread made rather than bought in.

There is no dress code anywhere. We ask for smart dress in one room late in the evening and we ask it kindly.
