Jamestown Fish

It didn’t seem like there was anyone connecting with people as they approached what looked like a host station with nobody at it. Other customers seemed confused and not tended to. Lots of staff had also probably left for school. Ok. The dining room vibe was awkward but that was really set by the other diners. The food was mediocre for the price and flavor level. I enjoyed the lobster salad as an appetizer (which is all warm—artichokes, sundried tomatoes, lobster, grilled corn, etc but warm which is fine but not what I expected...but I like it) the lobster risotto was unimpressive and the black linguine was good on the pasta texture but swimming in a pool of too much garlic and olive oil. Meh. Ok.

I was underwhelmed with the food. The ingredients were first rate, but the chef overwhelmed with overly aggressive choices. The pan seared monkfish was a wonderful piece of fish perfectly cooked, then the chef drowned it in a very intensely flavoed Madeira sauce that would have worked well with a steak, but simply overwhelmed the fish. The scallops were excellent but could have used a hotter pan to really sear them. One of the biggest disappointments was the light and perfectly cooked buttermilk panna cotta that was spoiled by a coating of a very tangy and chunky chutney. Fresh fruit or a dazzle of honey would have allowed the delicate custard to take center stage. Be aware, from the prices charged this place must think they are in Boston or New York.
