Wakame

Wakame Review

The simple interior allows views over the Atlantic to take precedence here. The sushi, which Wakame does very well, is sufficient reason to visit. Start with the crispy, fried, salted calamari with hoisin sauce, coriander, and lime. Then move on to the sesame-crusted tuna with ponzu-flavored greens (ponzu is a Japanese citrus-vinegar sauce) with deep-fried sweet potato or Thai red-curry chicken with lime fried rice. Chocolate fondant with a butterscotch sauce or star anise-and-coconut crème brûlée are dessert highlights. Smoking is permitted on the narrow balcony, which means that if the wind changes direction, nearby diners in the nonsmoking section may suffer the smell. Wafu, on the upper level, is excellent for drinks and serves a good dim sum menu.
