Fodor's Expert Review Fishy Fishy Café

Fodor's Choice
Originally a café in a fish shop, this place has moved up in the world, with sumptuous two-story premises in the town park. TV chef Martin Shanahan, who trained in San Francisco, brings California pizzazz to his dishes. Stylish young staffers seem thrilled to be part of the show. Lunch is the big event, although service does continue until 9 pm (except some days in winter).
