Seafood flown in daily and a fantastic veranda continue to bring diners to one of the city’s only seafood restaurants, one of the hottest see-and-be-seen spots. Call ahead for a window seat.
Vibe: There’s often a chatty, well-dressed crowd in the main dining room. It’s quieter in the porch-like section along Brentwood Boulevard.
Best Dish: Serious crab cakes come with unmangled crab.
Insider Tip: At one of the better brunches around, order the seafood frittata.
