The chefs at Philomena's assemble authentic Italian platters of pasta, meat, and seafood, serving their creations in an upscale dining room bordered by fresh- and saltwater scenes of the Shrewsbury River and Atlantic Ocean. Diners can sweeten their meal's start by prestuffing their cheeks with marshmallows or by sampling an appetizer of savory pork tenderloin, sautéed with figs and brown sugar. A slew of pasta dishes lures forks into their tangles, such as the penne alla vodka sauce, which jumbles rigatoni, prosciutto, and shallots in a vodka-cream sauce. Roasted garlic and mint-jelly sauce wreathe racks of lamb in flavorful finery, and the seafood fra diablo unites shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and calamari on a bed of linguine and spicy tomato sauce, comprising the most eclectic oceanic gathering since mermaid Woodstock.

The chefs at Cypress Cafe unite fresh ingredients to form a homestyle menu of warm, pressed panini sandwiches and preservative-free soups made fresh daily. Diners can awaken dormant palates more effectively than by licking a car battery by matching mandibles against the breakfast burrito, bursting at the seams with egg, cheese, and jalapeños ($5.95). A patchwork of steamed veggies blends with hummus and grilled tofu within the hummus vegetable wrap ($6.95), and piping-hot cups of soup ($2.95) warm frigid, empty bellies. Diners quell tumultuous tummies with the chicken-teriyaki wrap, harboring sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers ($6.95), or clasp their fingers around an 8-ounce turkey burger ($6.95) that woos tasters with house seasoning and love letters written in ketchup.

Studio owner and award-winning dancer Dianna “D” Dray calls ballroom dance “therapy for the soul.” With her fellow instructors, she hosts these unorthodox therapy sessions, basing the lessons on the philosophy that “anyone can learn.” On Latin Days (Mondays and Thursdays), the teachers lead salsa, rumba, cha-cha, and samba classes. Other days feature ballroom dances such as the foxtrot and the tango (Tuesdays), and freewheeling swing and hustle classes (Wednesdays). D also leads classes specifically for brides- and grooms-to-be, teaching them the steps to gracefully handle their first dance as a married couple, whether it’s a tactful waltz or a classy hokey pokey.
