Excellent seafood ... one of the best in DC (forget Kinkhead's). Menu is fresh, skillfully arranged on your plate. Open kitchen. Oysters are first rate. Tuna tartar appetizer is excellent, so is the butterfish. Rockfish entrees is very good. Interesting tapas (white anchovies, wood-grilled sardines, braised baby octopus ..). Very good desserts menu (go for the Creme brulee). Excellent wine... more
