In Short
A spin-off of the upscale Scott's Seafood restaurants in Palo Alto and San Jose, this more casual, moderately priced restaurant has quickly proven popular with business diners, hungry families and romancing couples. The menu is deep--featuring such regular seafood favorites as hearty cioppino, steamed Manila clams, blackened sea bass and seared ahi tuna, as well as a few non-fishy items such as grilled pork and beef dishes.
