Everytime I have looked at the menu online I havent seen much that I like, although I do want to visit because I love Pat Kuleto's other restaurants. Where else has really really good seafood?

The seafood is fresh, the service is great and the atmosphere is fun.

Great restaurant, they do seafood well, and probably the best of Kuleto's various projects. Thu May 17 14:32:55 -0700 2007 2578854 11369 Robert Lauriston 1 2579719 don't forget about Pesce on Polk. Great seafood and lots of dishes to order and choose from because many of them are small Thu May 17 18:18:22 -0700 2007 2578854 14119 Doodleboomer 2 2581198 Does their website not work or something?

I don't mean upscale destination places like Farralon or Aqua, but something closer to Anthony's Star of the Sea in San Diego. There is not much between Scoma's and Aqua in quality and price (although last time I looked at Scoma's menu it was getting up there in price). When asked, I always suggest Tadich or Sam's Grill (it ain't fancy or cheap) but good eats. Fri May 18 10:06:06 -0700 2007 2578854 12274 OldTimer 2 2581618 I agree with you. The seafood situation is weird. You would think with all this water ... For me there just aint'f fish joints like in New England where you could go for a nothing fancy fish dinner. However, the low on he scale places are usually awful and then there's upscale. Hayes Street Grill is probably a good happy medium. Probably the best are Fish in Sausalito and Sea Salt in Berkeley. I'm not counting Old Port Lobster Shack (still haven't tried the North Beach location) or Woodhouse which focus on East Coast fish. Fri May 18 11:00:42 -0700 2007 2581410 10264 rworange
