Moxie Restaurant
For a classier dining retreat after a long day of hiking, consider patronizing the Moxie Restaurant---somewhat dressy attire expected. Be sure to make a reservation, though, since this is a popular place. With its dim lighting and circa 1960s decor, and with a dose of Little Italy thrown in, the place certainly provides ambiance to go with its famously good food, including calamari, crab cakes, scallops, pasta and Cajun-spiced halibut. A typical meal will cost around $45 at Moxie's.
