Michael Cimarusti's ode to seafood-centric fine dining has gotten a much needed revamp, with a nautical theme to reinforce the kind of preparations happening on the plate. [Eater 38 Member]

Michael Cimarusti’s raw materials come from all over the world, but his sense of seasonality, his easy multicultural flavor palette and his unfussy use of California produce is solidly L.A.

Known as the best seafood restaurant in the city but save room for the inventive desserts.

Voted Best Chef's Table, August 2010 -Spot prawns arrive freshly broiled, their flavor heightened by toasted rosemary; a smidge of jalapeño-soy gelée drapes the kanpachi, lending a piquant contrast...

If you have time, try the tasting menu. Otherwise, you can never ever go wrong getting salmon here!

If you’re looking for a change from wine, the bartender can also whip up custom cocktail pairings to accompany your meal. For ultimate intimacy, try to snag the white booth.

If you REALLY want to treat yourself! Holy hell to the Foie Gras Raviloi - Incredible! The Prime New York steak and the duck breast are scrumptious! Great wine list – Gloria, The Arrangement

Both the decor and the menu at this restaurant leave the diners feeling like they are under the sea. Fish is expertly cooked with French, Italian, Spanish and Asian influences to excite the tastebuds.

They have a salad of squid and pigs' ears on a little arugula and frisee as a first course on the regular menu.

Did the tasting menu. No vegetarian menu yet. Modern and chic setting, to match the well executed food.
