    Party of 3 adults on Christmas Eve: appetizers Tempura Shrimp and Shisito Peppers - 5 stars. New England Clam Chowder 4 stars. Caesar Salad- 5 stars but needed more lemon. Entrees: lobster fried rice-4 star. Lobster Risoto-5 star. Salmon Special-2 Stars-great flavor but over cooked even though I asked for it to be rare. Service- 3 stars- waiter was loud and only filled our champagne glasses once from the bottle. Ambience/Noise Level-4 stars. Value: wine list was over priced, more than 2 times if you bought it at a store, but probably customary for some (but not all) high end restaurants. I should have ordered the Cioppino.
