Boiled lobster was lovely, and I managed to squirt my bibless tablemates just once, but the corn on the cob, cole slaw, and baked potato were just going through the motions (1 ¼ lb. lobster plus fixings; $28.95). Elsewhere at the table, baked scallops and a fried seafood platter drew so-so responses. I was excited to find Indian pudding (shown; $5.25) on the dessert menu, but the molasses-flavored cornmeal was stiff, even with vanilla ice cream lubrication.
