TOPPER'S

Inside an elegant beachside inn lies this extraordinary gem. Impeccable service pampers guests as they feast on seasonally changing menus that may include a tasting of Crown Toro Hamachi, braised veal and scallops with caviar butter. Diners have the choice of a four course pre-fixe menu or a nine course tasting menu. The upscale dining room is elegantly decorated with beautiful sculptures separating the linen-covered tables, long flowing window treatments and fresh floral arrangements. In season, a boat cruise from the White Elephant in town to the restaurant is offered for a fee. The superb wine list focuses on red and white Burgundies with bottles starting at an affordable $60 range up to the rare and special varieties at a lofty $17,000. They offer a grand selection of 2,000 different labels and 25,000 bottles. Local oysters are farmed 150 yards right off their docks.
