Frommer's Review

This restaurant keeps alive the tradition of offering good food in the area of the old city market. The setting is nostalgic, with hardwood floors, brick walls, high ceilings, and a patio. The cooks prepare a daily crab stew that is excellent, along with such other favorites as fried calamari or crab cakes, the latter served with a spicy tomato jam and lemon aioli. A trio of pastas is featured daily, our favorite being the lobster and wild mushroom ravioli served with a spicy calamari salad and a balsamic brown butter sauce.

For your main course, the array of delights may include herb-encrusted sea bass with fresh herbs, pan sautéed and finished off with a savory crab beurre blanc. It's served with buttermilk mashed potatoes. The hazelnut red snapper is also a temptation, served with prawns and lump crabmeat in a hazelnut-liqueur sauce and a side of apple chutney. Shrimp, greens, 'n grits is a favorite, with smoked bacon, green onions, and a chardonnay butter sauce.
