We took an out-of-town friend here for dinner. She was looking forward to having some local seafood. We decided to come here because it was close to the Opus Hotel, where she was staying. For starters, we shared the Seafood Tasting for two, adding a third portion. Included in the tasting dishes were a dungeness crab with baby shrimps dish, a scallop cerviche, a tuna tartare, and a smoked sockeye salmon terrine. For the main courses, we ordered to share a sablefish, a scallops dish, and the Kobe style shortribs. The tasting dishes gave us a variety of seafood to try. I am a real fan of sablefish - probably my favourite fish - which is what I ordered. The shortribs were very tender - melts in your mouth. We really enjoyed every dish. The service was great - the waitress helped us decide on what to order and explained each dish for us. It was probably the best seafood dinner we've had in a while.
