the food exceptionally good, prices moderate,
ambiance informal. 15 Oak Street, just west

Primo Restaurant Rockland
A superb "destination restaurant" (that
means people drive long distances just to
dine here) featuring Mediterranean-influenced
cuisine made from vegetables, meats, herbs
and spices raised right on the grounds
of the restaurant. Talk about quality control!
Unforgettable, and priced concomitantly.
