Talise

Tucked away in calm Annisquam, this seasonal spot is surrounded by the sheltered waters of Lobster Cove. Every seat in the house has a view—whether you snagged a table in its window-filled dining room, on its covered deck or sunny patio. Its small menu of thoughtful dishes varies each day depending on the local bounty the kitchen is able to procure from nearby farmers and fishermen. You can expect items like fresh seafood, house-made pastas and incredible produce, which are all mindfully prepared so the ingredients can truly shine and show exactly what Cape Ann’s land and sea are capable of.
