Talk about a pleasant surprise! I was on my way to another restaurant when I discovered this new concept. It's tucked between Smashburger and Chipotle, which is appropriate because it's a similar fast-casual type place. Except it features seafood!
I'm an Arizona native and I love seafood. It's really a treat to find good seafood in the desert. It's even more impressive to find fresh seafood in the desert for prices this reasonable! The variety of fish available (Swai, Mahi Mahi, Salmon to name a few) is different than most places.
Choose your fish, choose a sauce and they grill it. There is a distinct emphasis on healthy choices and sides. Speaking of sides, the coleslaw is really good. This is the first place I've enjoyed coleslaw made the way my mother prepared it... With raisins!
I was half expecting to see fish tacos on the menu. As much as I love them, I'm glad they aren't available. You can get fish tacos almost anywhere. This isn't a southwest/Mexican type restaurant. It's more about the coast than a region. My only criticism about the menu, would be to expand the variety of seafood. I think I saw shrimp and scallops as appetizers. But it would be great to also have some clams or mussels. Not much of a complaint really.
The staff was helpful, made some good suggestions, and were very friendly. Plus, the music was really hip. I'm glad this place is nearby to home and work. I'm definitely going to recommend this to my co-workers when we venture out next time. Thank you for giving me another reason to avoid Red Lobster!
