| Chequers’ reputation rests squarely on its fresh seafood, which is best savored simply prepared. Appetizers may serve as small entrées with a salad or as tapas. One presents three large, sweet scallops with pancetta, but they didn’t need the accompanying spiced carrot beurre blanc and watercress. Three soups are regulars: New England clam chowder, gumbo and lobster bisque, the latter a major feat, rich, creamy and chunky with lobster meat. Mesquite-grilled fresh fish selections with a choice of vegetable side dishes (one) are a focus, while still more fish main dishes with individualized accompaniments fill the lengthy menu. Filet mignon may be combined with crab cake, fried shrimp or a steamed lobster tail. The Sunday brunch also gets high marks. Accompanying your order, the drop biscuits, with their crisp outside and fluffy interior, are just like Grandma used to make. The wine list is not at all worthy of the menu. Come for happy hour from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. Sunday-Friday, and enjoy $4-$6 appetizers. |
