From Citysearch

The Scene
Dating couples and businesspeople in suits and designer sweaters populate the upscale, masculine dining room done up in rich woods, white tablecloths, and fish-themed artwork. Service is generally efficient, with a few hiccups.

The Food
Fresh seafood flown in daily is the star on the well-honed menu; a few specials round out the offering of mostly American, Asian and Italian preparations, with wood-grilled and wood-roasted options. Crisp-seared crab cakes are delicate pillows with a minimum of filler, paired with a creamy lemon-garlic aioli. Refreshingly light Manila clam chowder harbors plenty of chopped clams, plus a few in the shell. For entrees, fist-sized cubes of ahi tuna are seared and sauced with an exotic spicy plum chili sauce over curried noodles. Bouillabaisse teems with a medley of fin and shellfish, though the broth lacks character. The dish is served (and frequently spilled), from a Le Creuset pot set on the table. Subtle lemon-ginger creme brulee is a nice finish.
