Bostonia Public House

Bostonia Public House on State Street has a menu that can accommodate a chowder-and-oysters lunch or a much longer dinner. Lobster rolls come warm with butter or cold with lemon aioli. Lobster also turns up in macaroni and cheese with cheddar and Gruyère, while a cauliflower steak with lentils and hummus gives you an alternative to seafood and meat.

Weekend brunch runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and there’s a separate late-night menu Thursday through Saturday. Tater tot poutine is an option for a table that wants to share something substantial. Save a little room for the sweet potato doughnuts with bourbon glaze, especially if the original plan was just to stop for one drink.
