Entrees offer the same bold flavors. A generous fillet of salmon is "lacquered" with sweet mustard and served atop a bed of tender miniature Beluga Lentils ($22). The salmon is served slightly translucent at the core, perfectly cooked but slightly ovepowered by the salty lentils. Oven Roasted Halibut balances its flavors better, topped with sauteed chanterelle mushrooms, baby lima beans and a sweet corn pudding.

At times it is a barrage of various bildungsroman tales, the coming-of-age stories of various Lowell and Winslow family scions. At other times it is a relentless catalogue of family members moving in and out of prep...
