Crown Jewel

$$ Fodor's choice

Forget New England nautical; Crown's Jewel's owners went in a completely different design direction when they created it, and instead leaned into Latin American and Miami vibes. And in fact, the flamingos and palm trees dotting the decor here embody the whimsical spirit of the entire place, found in its partylike feel as well as the fun cocktails and in delicious dishes like mussels escabeche and lobster arancini.
