Autumn Specials


You'll see more soups and stews on our menu in the cooler months. In addition to our chowder and bisque we often serve spicy Cioppino, Seafood Gumbo, and our classic French Bouillabaisse.


Lefty's Bouillabaisse - Shrimp, Calamari, Clams, Mussels, and fresh Fish in a Saffron Broth with slices of toasted baguette brushed with Red Chili Aioli.
Call ahead to see what's cooking.

Lefty's Authentic Lobster Bisque - It's the Real Deal!

Lefty's Lobster Bisque

Lefty's serves gallons and gallons of Lobster Bisque, and one of the things we've noticed from the uninitiated is that they're not quite sure what a bisque is.

An authentic bisque is "a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically based on a strained broth (coulis) of crustaceans."*

Lefty's Clam Chowder


What bisque isn't - if it's traditional - is a chunky soup like chowder. But if you'd like, order it with Lobster meat for a small charge.

In order to create the perfect bisque, you need fresh vegetables and a high volume of lobster to make the stock. And no one has a higher volume of lobster than Lefty's. Making bisque is a long process of reducing, straining, reducing and straining again, and then finishing off with cream and sherry.

We hope this knowledge of how Lefty's creates their Lobster Bisque, enhances your enjoyment and appreciation of a dish we're extremely proud of.
