While it’s uncertain if a connected beach club being built on the waterfront will affect views, they’re peerless for now. Windows frame waterfront sunsets, while most tables in the split-level space survey the marina’s megabucks moorings. Foliage floats from the ceiling and drapes over archways, tables are fashionably dressed in fawn and white linen, and blonde sheer curtains billow in Broadwater breezes.

The menu is grounded in greatest hits, ranging from a generously filled rendition of the now-ubiquitous bug roll to a handful of high-end beef cuts crossing the chargrill. Shareable snacks from the cold bar suit the setting – oysters; a salty-sweet pile of prosciutto and melon; delicate scallop sashimi; and New England lobster rolls. Skip to an entree of served-sizzling saganaki ribboned with rainforest honey and main of seafood-loaded linguine.

While requests for window seats can’t be guaranteed, online bookings include the chance to firm up first impressions by ordering French fizz, the natural choice from a luxe list. It’s the place to take somebody special when you want to show off.
