Slipper Lobster Roll ($22++)
This dish looks like a hot dog bun that got upgraded to royalty. A warm bun is packed generously with slipper lobster tails that threaten to spill over its sides. The meat is so juicy and tender that it can even make steak lover fall head over tails in love with it. Unfortunately, this item is only available on their weekday brunch menu.
