While the Italian eatery does not have any specials for America’s birthday, there are plenty of festive indulgences at La Tavola on Friday. Try the grilled trout served with cannellini beans, roasted baby carrots and pickled mushroom vinaigrette. Meanwhile, sip on the “blackberry sage limonada” with lemon-infused vodka, house made blackberry shrub, fresh lemon and a splash of soda and sour. The meyer lemon-olive oil cake with stewed huckleberries and fresh cream is the perfect light, sweet ending.

If a surf and turf feast is what you crave on the Fourth, Lure is the ideal destination. Start off with a cup of the classic New England-style clam chowder with bacon, oyster crackers and chives. Then taste the grilled natural pork chop with field peas, spring Vidalia onions and ham hocks. Top the meal off with a blueberry crumb cake with pistachio ice cream and aged Gouda. A refreshing cocktail such as the Stockholm syndrome with Random Old Torn gin, raspberry cordial, cinnamon syrup, lime juice, lemon juice and prosecco is a perfect addition to the evening. Or if you are with a big group, share a summery punch bowl, such as the “ciao pesca” featuring Peach Schnapps, peach puree, ruby port and prosecco.
