Fodor's Expert Review Malvina House Hotel Restaurant

A sweeping view of the harbor and a lovingly prepared meal are pretty much assured at this luminous hotel restaurant. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's one of the town's most reliable bets for good dining. Homemade soups and garden fresh salads dominate for lunch, along with more hearty fare, like snow crab, artichoke, and spinach dip or a grilled veggie and cheese sandwich. For dinner, hot dishes, like roast Gressingham duck or prime rib with Béarnaise sauce hit the spot in chilly weather, and the lamb is highly recommended. There's also a pleasant bar and lounge for a drink and a snack with your view. Don't assume you can eat a late dinner—the restaurant closes at 9 pm.
