The Impudent Oyster

All but hidden off the main drag, this perennially popular 1970s-era eatery -- complete with decorative stained glass -- continues to cook up fabulous fish in exotic guises, ranging from Mexican to Szechuan, but mostly Continental. The flavorful specialties of the house are the sole piccata (native sole with lemon, fresh herb, and caper butter sauce), the steak au poivre, and the pesca fra diavolo (local littlenecks, lobster, and other seafood simmered in a spicy sauce over fettuccine).
