★★★ SEAFOOD—Chef/owner Steve Phelps is at the forefront of the sustainable seafood movement, acting as an advocate and educator, and getting most of his fish from the Gulf for this adorable restaurant, set in a former historic home. Veggies are as fresh, most coming from the kitchen’s garden. The menu changes every two weeks, and draws its inspiration from across the globe, so expect unusual spreads, Middle Eastern and Asian spices, crudo plates and fish cooked every which way. It’s all delish, and the service is kindly.
