When in search of views
at Le Bistro-Newport, ask for table seven.
Enjoy great fall views -- and equally great food -- at any one of
these six New England restaurants.
Le
Bistro-Newport, 401-849-7778. 41 Bowen's Wharf, Newport, Rhode
Island. ($$-$$$$) French country-style fare, light but not nouvelle:
bouillabaisse, scallops meuniere, steak frites, and lobster offered
three different ways. There's a cozy wine/martini bar on the third
floor where you can also dine overlooking Jamestown and the Newport
Bridge. Request table 7, if available. Open for lunch and dinner
daily, brunch Sun.
The Waterfront Restaurant, 207-236-3747. 40 Bay View St.,
Camden, Maine. ($$-$$$) The wag who said restaurants always use a
good view to mask mediocre food never ate here. Patrons keep coming
back for the mussels steamed with garlic and white wine. Added
bonus: You can trade toasts with passing yachtsmen. Open for lunch
and dinner daily. URL: http://www.yankeemagazine.com/ui/foliage_linkinframe.php?website=www.waterfrontcamden.com
Wentworth by the Sea, 866-240-6313, 603-422-7322. 588
Wentworth Rd., New Castle, New Hampshire. ($$-$$$$) Choose your
view: Mill Pond and its wooded hills from the historic hotel's
dining room with its frescoed dome ceiling, or the Atlantic Ocean
from the Marina Bistro. Signature dishes feature local seafood.
Dining room open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily; bistro open
late May-early Oct. for lunch and dinner. URL: http://www.yankeemagazine.com/ui/foliage_linkinframe.php?website=www.wentworth.com
Skyline Restaurant, 802-464-3536, 802-464-5535. Hogback
Mountain, Rte. 9, Marlboro, Vermont. ($-$$) The 100-mile panorama of
the Massachusetts Berkshires and the home-style cooking have made
this a local institution since 1946. The all-you-can-gorge breakfast
of griddle cakes or waffles comes drenched in real maple syrup. For
lunch, try roast turkey or a burger, with Vermont apple pie for
dessert. Open for breakfast (served all day) and lunch daily.
J's at Nashoba Valley Winery, 978-779-5521. 100
Wattaquadoc Hill Rd., Bolton, Massachusetts. ($-$$$$) From your
table, indoors or out, you get a good lay of the land: 52 acres of
apple, peach, and plum orchards plus berry patches. Choose
delicacies such as fennel-crusted foie gras, blackened catfish, or
barbecued rabbit. Open for lunch Tues.-Sat., dinner Wed.-Sat.,
