Fodor's Expert Review The Red Carpet

Old-fashioned charm and consistently attentive service are two reasons why this tried-and-true bar and restaurant is a favorite among local politicians and businesspeople. Located in the old Armoury building, it's a popular lunch spot, serving plenty of fresh seafood and local favorites like fish chowder. At dinner the dining room is usually uncrowded and relaxed; the bar is even more casual, if you're looking to have a cocktail or two before your meal. Culinary highlights include classics like rack of lamb and wiener schnitzel (breaded veal cutlet) and seafood like clams casino and seafood crepe.
