Croissant Lobster Roll
An elevated take on the classic, this lobster roll features rich pastry and a unique aioli, celebrating local seafood in a creative way.
"Compared to a classic lobster roll, this croissant version feels more elevated: the pastry is richer, and the aioli gives a different flavor profile than a simple buttered or mayo-based lobster roll."
