Description

After flirtations with Irish and Ethiopian cookery, the venerable old fish house is back, albeit reinvented as a 21st-century bar/lounge/hangout with fried capers, tobiko, and preserved lemon accenting the clams, oysters, Dungeness, and hamachi. The cocktail lounge features an oyster bar, animal-print seating, and a roaring hearth; the dining room's saffron and mahogany setting is warm and attractive; and the seafood specialties are impeccably fresh and occasionally inspired. Happy hour nightly; DJ-driven dancing weekends after 10 p.m.
