Jolene’s Market

Jolene’s Market has an extensive menu, but you won’t want to miss its buttah lobster roll ($18).

This Asian-inspired rendition features a house-baked sweet roll filled with lobster meat, pickled veggies (daikon and carrots), shredded lettuce, thinly sliced onions, cilantro and garlic butter sauce.

If you want something extra cheesy, opt for the lobster melt ($18), which features a gooey blend of Havarti, mozzarella and American cheese, and lobster between slices of housemade milk bread.
