Ghia Revolve (non-alcoholic), Amphora Xarel·lo ‘22, Cold Rush (bourbon)
Hamachi Crudo
Cherry, citrus, basil w/a kick of heat. Very good.
3-Tier Tower - Peruvian Scallops, Maine Lobster Claws, Mexican Prawns, Alaskan Crab Claws, Prince Edward Oysters, Mignonette, Aioli
As expected everything is very fresh and thoughtfully sourced. We loved the Peruvian scallops w/grapefruit à la Fishing with Dynamite. Towers are for two but we ordered extras which overloaded the whimsical tower.
Lobster Melt
If I liked tarragon I would love this. Hubs had no such qualms and happily polished it off.
Cold Uni Pasta & Crab
We weren’t sure what to expect but quite liked it.
Mosaic Cheesecake
Dessert as art.
Cento desserts always delight. Who is their pastry chef?
Love how they went for it with the fantastical design. And as a seafood lover I’m happy to have a spot like this in our ‘hood. I do think @mzonelli is right that perhaps the decor & vibe make it more destination-worthy than the food which is very good but also at other seafood spots in L.A. It’s designed as a bar more than a sit down - our table was low & small. Plating is very pretty with some pieces originally designed, but small and at times more precious than functional. I’m thinking a nice date night with bites & cocktails at the raw bar before dinner at the pasta bar. Service is very good.
Speaking to the dining with babies thread - we were three adults and a toddler at 5pm. They don’t have high chairs but we did fine on the couch and the low table worked to our benefit, toddler-wise. There’s room for a couple and baby carrier on the couch.
Happy Seafood Eating!
