Get the fish...any of the fish! And, take the waiter's wine recommendation!

I was here with a friend a week ago and we really liked it. We were seated right at our reservation time when we entered the door even though the place was packed and went upstairs. The tables weren't nearly as close together as I expected or as loud. I had read some reviews before going and was a bit worried but remembered the space from Scylla's so I was willing to risk it. I'm glad I did! The barramundi was fabulous and the halibut my friend ordered was really good, too. I asked the waiter to make a recommendation between a choice of two wines I narrowed the list to and he was spot on. The only "eh" factor was the dessert. We ate most of it but probably because we were having such a good time and didn't want to leave rather than the dessert being all that great. I can't even remember what they called it but it was essentially a rice crispy treat with jam and ice cream with some other little things thrown in. It was pretty but not the best dessert I'd ever had. The dessert list was pretty extensive so perhaps we ordered one of their weaker items.

• Pros: We weren't specifically going for seafood but that's the theme we ended up with and it was great!; Service was prompt & knowledgable.
• Cons: The dessert wasn't all that great.
