The main room, a neutral, two-tiered hall with massive art and opulent light fixtures, feels deliberately haute, hardly a setting for casual chalkboard dining. The service and the seasonal menu are similarly refined. Cioppino fish stew brings a single Fundy scallop in a delicate smoked tomato broth scattered with tiny cubes of crunchy fennel; it’s a revelatory plate until a tiny pebble plops out of an accompanying clam. Succulent sous-vide lamb shoulder with a special side of earthy, creamy cauliflower purée demonstrates that comfort food and three-star technique can co-exist. The chocolate brioche beignet with smoked cocoa nibs, orange mousse, and New Brunswick sea salt caramel is the evening’s most enjoyable dish. It’s like a refined version of the fried treats at The Ex. Unfortunately, a walnut-bacon butter tart proves that despite the ongoing bacon dessert trend, not everything should be paired with smoked pork belly. The wine list offers great bottles at many price points and is a particular delight for locavores. Mains $19–$34.
