Description
The dining room maintains a lively, packed energy, especially during peak weeknight hours. While the seafood is the main draw, the menu accommodates non-fish eaters with decent vegetarian options and a strong cocktail list. The kitchen turns out classic crowd-pleasers like tacos, sliders, and calamari, though some happy hour plates like the salmon tartare can run salty. The experience wraps up with a signature sweet touch: a complimentary chocolate mousse served at the end of the meal.
