Perfection! I finally had the opportunity to dine at the Seafood Market & Restaurant last Friday (February12th). The place was busy and we had a short wait (maybe 10-15 minutes) but the food and atmosphere were well worth the slight delay. This is the kind of restaurant I dream about. Subdued overhead lighting with twinkling flames on each table. Comfortable seating. A clientele that seemed in and of itself tasteful and "above average." without pretension or arrogance. Everyone was clearly there to have a good meal and a pleasant evening, It's the sort of place that is special enough to merit "dressing up" - guys in sportcoats, etc., but not so stuffy that you would feel uncomfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and subdued but children are clearly welcome.
The wait staff was professional and efficient. They kept my water glass filled and cleared empty plates promptly without excessive hovering.
The food was excellent. I was still on my quest to locate decent fish and chips in the Gilbert/Mesa area so I ordered their halibut fish and chips and a beer. One negative comment - no Blue Moon on the menu. The waitress said they get many requests for Blue Moon so I hope they begin making that available to their diners.
My date ordered a seafood platter of some kind - a selection of fried items - clam strips, fish, shrimp, crab cake, with rice and steamed vegetables. He also had a cup of their clam chowder. He enjoyed everything. I had a house salad with the fish and chips. That too was delicious. The french fries were average but the fish was the star anyway and it was very good. The halibut was tender and the beer batter was light and crispy. The coleslaw was nice as well - creamy but not too heavy.
I thought the pricing was appropriate for what you get. Outstanding. I will be eating there again in the near future.
