The Scene
Matte black walls and a glass window stretch up to industrial ceiling fixtures, which lend a post-modern vertigo to this intimate space. The centerpiece is a stunning wood and zinc horseshoe bar that wraps around the kitchen and raw bar. Pre-theater and post-moviegoers of all ages have found this casual mall-enclosed spot perfect for a relaxed dinner, though the bar rocks a little harder later on.

The Food
Husband and wife team of chef David Lentz (Opaline, Campanile) and Suzanne Goin (Lucques, A.O.C.) proffer a sophisticated seafood menu inspired by dishes from the Maryland coast. For starters, American sturgeon caviar is accompanied by classic toast points, egg, onion and chive, and Hama Hama oysters are both sweet and briny. Crab cakes made from a 100-year-old family recipe bulge with lump crabmeat; other standout entrees include the robust clams doused in a deep, pungent tomato chorizo broth, and a meltingly sweet and tender pan-roasted skate wing.
