The Lyceum Review

The elegance of the Lyceum's high-ceilinged front rooms and glass-walled back rooms matches the sky-high quality of the food, which attracts local businesspeople as well as out-of-towners. The kitchen has an especially skillful hand with seafood, often from local waters; be sure to check out the raw bar options. Bounteous chicken salad with unusual slaw or an overstuffed sandwich makes a hearty but not incapacitating lunch in the middle of sightseeing. Sunday brunch here is an unexpected treat, with superb egg dishes and a good range of entrees for the breakfast-averse. At dinner, the menu takes a turn toward bistro style, with the likes of delectable grilled beef tenderloin and roasted cod with saffron-tomato broth. Try to save room for a traditional yet sophisticated dessert -- the brownie sundae is out of this world.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
