- Though the restaurant’s official dress code is business casual, the atmosphere is a bit ritzier than that.

The Food
- The kitchen plays up fresh local ingredients designed to stir the senses with international flair.
- You can start your day with luxurious entrees such as brioche French toast, but if you’re in a rush on a weekday morning, the restaurant also has a breakfast buffet stocked with everything from eggs to granola.
- For lunch, stop by Monday through Saturday to order up options such as a lobster roll with tarragon potato chips.
