Peter Shields Inn

Zagat's has rated the food a 26,
decor 27 and service 25. Few restaurants reach those lofty levels across the board. Five different dining rooms, some with ocean views, others with fireplaces, others with fanciful furnishings are as entertaining as the food.

Sample chef Eric Hegy's take on a crabcake with lobster as the surprise ingredient. Or try shrimp with an Asian accent. The starters are imposible to pass up - dig into some fresh oysters with caviar or scallops with wasabi.

Yes there are many selections for non seafood lovers as well - like filet mignon with gorgonzola. Be aware, the restaurant does not accomodate small children.
