Editorial Review for Asterisk – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
High-minded diners fill Asterisk's high-ceilinged dining room to enjoy French-influenced, Mediterranean fare. Rich risotto dishes vary nightly from mixtures of Asiago cheese to topped with crispy salmon. Lobster fricasee is a rich standout--chunks of fresh lobster served in a sea of spring veggies (peas, spinach, baby carrots) and coated with brandy-tinged, lobster bisque-based sauce.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasCheck out the owners' other business, Boulangerie, at 382 Spring Street (parallel to Thames) for a blissful taste of Paris. Excellent sandwiches, pastries and breads. Definitely worth seeking out at lunchtime. (401) 846-3377.

Wow ... you feel like you are in France. This place is a bit out of the main tourist area, but worth seeking out. Try the mussels!
