The best local beer and wine

B&G is a complete rip off IMO. I had lunch there today and remember why I’ve not been in 6 months. $160 for two is ridiculous and it’s not like we pigged out. Had a dozen oysters, two lobster rolls, 2 glasses of wine...

We did go to B&G last night (ended up being a Tuesday, not a Wednesday), and getting a table was no problem. But we found the food underwhelming. Nothing wrong with it, granted, but just not special in any way. The space is cute....
