Ballard's

Frommer's Review

Sooner rather than later, everyone winds up at Ballard's. Behind the long front porch is a warehouse-like hall where a monster whale skeleton hangs, and beyond that a terrace beside a crowded beach. Several bars and frequent live bands fuel drinkers and diners from lunch until midnight. The menu is all over the map, with something for everyone. Complementing the lobster rolls and fish and chips are yellowfin tuna au poivre and roasted monkfish medallions with shrimp and sweet pepper dressed in a tarragon hollandaise. Kids have their own menu, and they can make as much noise and mess as they want. It gets pricey for families, though, so you might want to go for lunch, not dinner, and have sandwiches, not entrees.
