Review:
Boasting a soothing nautical design that transports visitors to a seaside resort, The Optimist is one of the city's best spots for fresh seafood with a high-quality menu that features heavenly dishes with ingredients from all around the country. The Optimist is renowned for its ocean-fresh oysters, beachy eats like super-stuffed lobster rolls, and hickory-hearth-roasted fish, including duck-fat-poached swordfish, crispy whole New England haddock, and lane snapper. The cuisine is accompanied by a range of handcrafted cocktails, such as East of Eden with WhistlePig barrel-aged grade-A dark maple syrup and Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky and decanter bitters.
