When it comes to quality seafood, it is best to get out of the way. MacLennan and Phillips have the sense to do so. A good sauce here, a creative plating with some fresh vegetable accompaniment there, and really, why do anything more? A warm lobster roll ($27) featured sweet claw, knuckle and tail meat dipped in drawn butter with a touch of ginger and fresno chilies, on a toasted split bun. A thin piece of grilled pompano ($32), its crisp skin glazed lightly with soy, had properly cooked, delicate meat and sat atop a gently spiced dashi crab broth and a bed of spring vegetables including baby bok choy, charred sweet corn, shiitake mushrooms and charred tomatoes.
