Okay, we're all used to paying high prices for dinner and drinks, but usually the cost is matched with quality food and quality service. Not here. We had a hard time flagging down our waiter most of the evening, when he did make an appearance, it came with an attitude, and a surprising unprofessional knowledge of his own menu. One of our table guests asked if they had any Mexican beer, he replied no, only to see that they had Corona on the bar list. The food was bland, paying way too much attention on the "been-there-done-that" presentations and not packing any flavor...appetizers were attractive but completely uneventful to the palette, everything lacked taste, except for the oysters were basically okay, although not as described by the waiter. My husband inquired about the stone crab as a final course, however, we went with the waiters preference of the shrimp, which according to him were a much better selection! When the plate arrived about a 45 minutes later, we had 3 shrimp the size of half dollars, burnt to a crisp at $24! Is anyone watching the grill? Come on, that's $8 bucks each if you do the math. Oh and did I mention, my Grey Goose Martini was served warm with mushy olives. The best thing, are the fish tanks,

Pros: Aquarium display

Cons: Poor Service, Over priced, Bland Food

Editor's Review

High-end Embarcadero seafood spot provides fresher-than-fresh fare, a large-yet-cozy space, a wealth of wine options and killer Bay views.  See the full editorial review.
