ZAGAT SURVEY
"Definitely not for truckers, despite what the name says", this "awesome" spot gives Westbrook denizens "bragging rights" for having "the best restaurant on the shoreline" - chef Jeff Renkl's cooking is a "combination of French bistro classics with Yankee sensibility and NYC panache"; the "good-hearted service" and "unstuffy atmosphere" also "make this a regular hang for fine diners of all stripes."

Food: extraordinary to perfection
Decor: very good to excellent
Service: very good to excellent
Cost: $43
