If this is a ""sister"" to Aqua in San Francisco, then its the redheaded step-child. The restaurant is charming but quite small. If you get a table along the far wall - great. Sadly, we were seated along the crowded gauntlet that is the main seating area. You can almost sit in your neighbors lap; fine if they are engaging or interesting - in our case they were neither. The food was beautifully presented but generally uneven. The fish fritters were sublime - the fried oysters were pedestrian. The sand dabs were tasty but seemed incomplete. I realize this is a seafood place but vegetables are hard to find here. The wine was unremarkable; nothing you wouldn't find at Beverages and More (marked up handsomely of course)
Overall, a dining non event. I don't mind spending triple digits on a meal. Next time it will be at Aqua.
Pros: fritters
Cons: crowded, noisy
