Pesca on the River

Frommer's Review

For terrific fish in a swank nautical setting, it's tough to beat the riverside restaurant at the Watermark Hotel. Except for the oyster bar that centers the dining room, the marine touches are more subliminal than overt: sea-blue table settings, hardwood floors, smooth glass surfaces, sleek, vaguely boat-shaped water pitchers. But once you tuck into the "catches" of the day, you'll have no doubt about this restaurant's deep devotion to things Piscean.

The creamy, smooth, cool asparagus soup with a mound of crab at the bottom is an excellent choice. The oyster sampler, the seared rare tuna crusted with coriander and fennel seed . . . nothing is disappointing. The only thing a bit off is the inexperienced, obsequious staff. But that's a minor glitch; all the choices are excellent. Note: Meat eaters and even vegetarians won't go hungry here -- but they won't find a vast sea of selections, either.
