Galyn's
Normally I avoid midpriced bistros in tourist towns, because they’re generally all pretty similar and almost never as special as their precious signs proclaim. But charming, unassuming Galyn’s is the exception; Galyn’s gets it right. From perfectly blackened and grilled Cajun shrimp, hand-cut steaks, and daily fish specials to seafood stews and penne tossed with oil, garlic, bits of feta, and all the right vegetables, everything’s on point here. Finish with real Indian pudding (worth trying, and very hard to find, despite being a classic New England heritage dish) or the cappuccino sundae served in a cappuccino glass, which packs two helpful shots of espresso to fuel your sightseeing. There are nice dining rooms both upstairs and down, with art on the walls, but try to snag one of the tables out on the little street-side deck if you can: All face Agamont Park and stunning bay views beyond.
