| - Minimal decor, bright lights and utilitarian tables - don't let this dissuade you. Or do! Then the secret won't get out...ha ha! The back of this restaurant is basically a fresh fish market. My eyes widened at the selection of fish, crustaceans etc. I am a fan of all things seafood so this was a little paradise...plus you can order in a number of ways depending on your taste or craving - fried, grilled, breaded with their special herbs, poached etc.
I read through the reviews and can only surmise that they've come a ways in terms of service and quality as everyone who greeted us at the door, seated us and helped us select our fish were warm and professional. Then again, we did go around 9:30pm on a Tuesday (not exactly a busy night of the week - I imagine weekends are bananas) and there were only a few other customers left.
Everything we had was delicious - the fish, herbed potato wedges...and other tables had beautiful steamed veggies, butterfly-ed fish...I recommend it on an off-night and with a group of 4+ so that you can sample a bunch of dishes and keep it on the affordable side.
UPDATE: Went with a group of 20 and tried multiple dishes. The grilled octopus was to DIE FOR! Highly recommend. Succulent, grilled to perfection. The deep fried breaded calamari also delicious. Grilled shrimp = YES! And the steamed, buttery veggies and crispy herbed potato wedges rounded out the meal nicely.
