Great alternative to Mcormicks and shmucks

by lillysreview at Citysearch

I been coming here since it opened. The seafood is consistantly good. They always have great specially prepared dishes. The only problem with that is you can only get the special prepared that way, for example I took some family there and they wanted one of the specials copper river salmon, but they wanted it grilled, they said they were pre-prepared so they couldnt do it. But they really enjoyed the salmon they did get, alderplank which was made on an alderplank wood bed picking up the smokey flavor. It was great! The sides were not all that great.

I am hopping they improve in some areas but it is nice to have an alternative to the snooty mcormicks and shmucks (yes I know its shmicks, but they treat you like you are a shmuck for being there)

• Pros: Great seafood
• Cons: tomato appetizer is not all that great

Oyster bar??

by ledeburite at Citysearch

I was looking forward to dining here since it touts an oyster bar. The oysters were the the smallest bits I've ever seen in a shell anywhere. Bit gritty too that didn't help much. The food (bbq salmon, fish w/ chips) was mediocre. Decor was nice with the seaman theme. Waiter was odd. He was young yet addressed us so formally and didn't have much of a sense of humor. Come on buddy....it's an "oyster bar" Don't think I'll be going back to this one. Too many other places out there.

• Pros: decor
• Cons: oysters
