Waterfront Kitchen

A lovely and rewarding waterfront restaurant, and a model of sophisticated understatement. A straightforward and compact "spirited American dining" menu is executed with quiet precision by chef de cuisine Levi Briggs and served by a polite and informed staff. The dining room, from Patrick Sutton, is serenely beautiful.
