| - Hubby and I had dinner here last night and overall great experience- will be back! I like the decor - hard to describe by eclectic and clubby cozy at the same time. I loved my cocktail - the something Babylon - which has spiced gin and za'tar for a super refreshing, super unique drink. One of my only two complaints was the price of the gulf shrimp from the raw bar ($3.00 each) when I remember gorging myself on local shrimp in the Keys far about 13.00 a lb. Anyhoo, of course we are not in the Keys, we're in scorching landlocked Phoenix, so what should I expect. Maybe a price break if you order by the half or full dozen? They were fresh, sweet and delicious along with a zesty, spicy cocktail sauce. Hubby enjoyed some oysters which I had to miss out on due to allergy. When I told our server about my oyster allergy she was very conscientious about it and clearly took extra steps to keep our orders separate.
We shared the Thai crab salad noted by other reviewers- tasty, fresh and light. We also shared the Brussels sprouts which I will now dream about - the apple gastric is a delicious and unique touch. Finally, we split the crab cakes which had essentially zero filler - all crab meat - and came with a nice side salad of shaved French radish, asparagus and red onion. The Dijon buerre blanc was very rich - maybe on the side next time... My only other complaint was the noise level. It was super loud in there - so not the place if you are seeking a spot for intense conversation, otherwise- great seafood, great service and overall thumbs up.
