A good but not perfect catch

Not having been to Don's Fishmarket, except the Tavern, in some years, my wife and I were curious as to whether it had improved. In summary, it is better than the low point we last experienced. As for appetizers, the stuffed artichoke hearts were delicious even if the accompanying sauce was not, but the mussels were undercooked even though plentiful. The Nantucket scallops and Dover sole were topnotch with pleasing sauces. There was a mixup on side dishes so rice was brought instead of red potatoes, but the waiter corrected that. Pumpkin cheesecake was quite good, although not great. WIne was excellent and appropriately priced. All in all, a good but not perfect catch at Don's Fishmarket.

• Pros: Service excellent, Entrees very good, Good people watching
• Cons: Mussels undercooked, Decor undistinctive, Kitchen makes errors
