Just wanted to add to the pile of positive press that Lavinia's has earned itself. My wife and I headed out there last night for an early reservation for our anniversary. Prices were comparable, the restaurant was clean (and had a really neat layout!), and service was attentive but not overbearing.

The quality of food was great--we split the house salad, I got the Pork Ragout for a main dish and the wifey got the Belknap Burger. The Ragout had freshly made pasta and great flavors throughout and the burger (though cooked to my wife's medium well taste instead of my preference, medium rare) was juicy and very flavorful as were the fries. Dessert was pecan pie for me and the almond cake for her, both of which were great.

We had that and a drink apiece and it came to about a hundred including tip which I'd consider a pretty decent value for an upscale dining experience on the water. Cheers!
