Telephone: (781) 378-2465
Address: 162 Front St.
Description: Located on Scituate’s scenic harbor, this casually upscale restaurant is awash in shades of white and beige and is a great little find for modern New England cuisine. Husband-and-wife Chef-Owners Robin and Jill King have created a menu that emphasizes seafood and local vegetables with dishes like cedar-roasted salmon with parsnip puree, and a lobster cake with spinach and a tomato crema. Be sure to save room for the warm chocolate pudding cake with salted caramel custard and coffee ice cream.

Description: Activated in 1811, Scituate’s granite and brick lighthouse stands at the northern edge of the harbor. It is still used as a private aid to navigation.

Scheduled open houses during the summer allow visitors to climb up to the lantern room.
