Fodor's Review:

Sculpted jellyfish chandeliers, kelp-covered columns, and sea-urchin lights give this swanky Pat Kuleto-designed restaurant a decidedly quirky look. But there's nothing quirky about chef Mark Franz's impeccable seafood, which reels in serious diners from coast to coast. The menu changes daily, but rotating dishes include lobster bisque with oven-roasted mushrooms, bluenose bass with celery root puree and chanterelles, and seared rainbow trout with broccoli rabe. If you want to enjoy the surroundings but not pay the price, you can take a seat at the bar and fill up on lobster rolls, mussels and french fries, grilled squid, and more from the cheaper bar menu.
