<p>The Zagat-rated Boom Restaurant is a great place to satisfy your desire for exceptional fine cuisine. The ambiance is quiet and elegant, and the food is delicious. </p> <p>This Boom is owner Jean Fuller Gest's third foray into opening a Boom restaurant. Opened in 2008, it was preceded in 2002 by the seasonal Boom at Pilot's Point in Westbrook.</p> <p>The cuisine is 'Creative American' with many items sourced from local purveyors. Ingredients are natural and with everything freshly made to order, meals can be easily customized.</p> <p>Of note is the Lobster Ravioli, as well as the well-known local Stonington Scallops, pan seared with an orange ginger buerre blanc.</p> <p>Desserts are created by Francis Baldwin, who trained in Paris with Le Notre. One such treat is a flourless chocolate torte made with Calabeaut Belgian chocolate.</p> <p> </p>
