A culinary destination in a historic and elegant setting.

Fresh asparagus caprese makes a lovely appetizer.
Appetizers tempt diners with options like Crispy Calamari served with a zesty aioli (we loved it) or Moroccan Cigars, lamb and beef spring rolls, with Morgan & Co’s house-made harissa.
The restaurant boasts an array of entree choices that highlight the chef’s commitment to quality and creativity. Diners can indulge in the Brisket Bowl, which features slow-roasted brisket, sticky rice, scallions, grilled carrots, and sesame vinaigrette. The excellent Seafood Bouillabaisse contains shrimp, mussels, calamari, and simmered fish in a tomato–saffron broth. Or try the yummy Chicken Piccata Meatballs with creamy spinach, orecchiette (the darling ear-shaped pasta), lemon, and capers. The grass-fed beef options include a Chateaubriand for Two, NY Strip, and Filet Mignon.
For more casual fare, try one of their dinner salads paired with chicken kebabs, steak, or seafood. Or choose one of the inventive sandwiches on the menu. The Shrimp Po Boy was the best we’ve had outside New Orleans. And there is a menu for Lil’ ADKers, too.
The restaurant also offers daily specials, seasonal events like crab and lobster fests, and special holiday menus for St. Patrick's Day, Passover, Mardi Gras, Easter and others.
