New seafood selections include shellfish linguini, made with lobster, shrimp and crab tossed in a fragrant tomato diavolo sauce; pan roasted sea scallops served atop a carrot and miso puree and drizzled in citrus and soy butter; and an Australian lobster tail.

New side dishes include a picturesque, one-pound lobster mac and cheese, served in a lobster shell with Maine lobster, lobster cream and breadcrumbs; crispy Yukon potatoes, served with bacon and blue cheese glaze; and butter braised wild mushrooms.
