Sure, dinner at one of the tables in this cavernous Kenmore Square restaurant guarantees you choices from a menu full of fresh seafood, such as local halibut with heirloom tomatoes, tempura squash blossoms, and pesto. But the best seats in the house are along the central ceviche bar—and not just for the superb people-watching. Dishes here are smaller and best shared, offering more chances to sample the unique flavor combinations overseen by local celebrity chef Michael Schlow. Try the spicy halibut taco, a tongue-tickling combination of delicate halibut, tomato, papaya, pickled onion, and crunchy corn shell, or the perfectly prepared tuna tartare garnished with cucumber and black sesame.
