Pair your steak with crab-stuffed shrimp or a broiled lobster tail for the ultimate surf-and-turf duo. There’s something in the air that makes Sullivan’s unique: an ambience at the intersection of luxury and cozy familiarity. Enjoy the swingin’ energy of our bar-centric atmosphere, soundtracked by the stylings of local musicians.
