The Portland-based spot has rustic-lodge charm (complete with stained glass and a timber-and-stone frame) and offers a huge menu of appetizers, oysters on the half shell, lunch sandwiches, and imaginatively prepared fresh-fish dishes (the selection changes daily). Popular choices are Dungeness crab and artichoke dip with crostinis, Nantucket Bay sea scallops with persillade (chopped parsley and garlic), cashew-crusted tilapia with hot rum butter, and blackened rare Kona Hawaii ahi with wasabi cream. If the weather's pleasant, you can dine on the patio.
