RESTAURANT REVIEW
There was a time when getting a lobster roll that aficionados considered legitimate meant having to travel to the upper reaches of New England. But Rebecca Charles decided to save us the trouble, creating a lobster roll that is every bit as good as what they serve in Maine. She has added various cooked items to the menu, and her concept has been copied at restaurants all over the country. Downsides are a no-reservation policy that means long waits for a table; theupside is food meriting comments like this: “You’re not in New England, but you’d never know it.”
