Just made a reservation for 8 of us at 8pm at Fresh. Thankfully they will allow us to make a reservation, many of other places wouldn't take a group that size at that time (offering 6 or 10pm) (Duane Park Cafe, Landmarc and Harrison's)... oh well, i'm excited to try some of your other recs, but will have to make that with a smaller group... btw, has anyone eaten at City Hall? Thanks again.

I've eaten at City Hall but it was for a private party so we had a special menu. I can still recall their brussels sprouts. Amazing. Service was really spectacular too (attentive, generous). Then again, like I said, it was a private party so I don't know how it translates to the "regular patron".

re: financialdistrictresident
So, overall my Fresh review would be positive but not effusive. The ambiance is very nice with a wide open dining space that's pleasant on the eye. The service and staff were professional and polite. They accepted an 8pm reservation for 8 of us on a Saturday night (see the orig. post), which was difficult to come by. Although they made us wait a little to take our order, I had some Oysters to start with and I can say that they were excellent, but 'sourced' and not really prepared. Next I had the roasted halibut which was good, but not great, perhaps overcooked. Somehow I was underwhelmed. My father complained about his chowder appetizer as being 'lousy', but he enjoyed the parmesan encrusted bronzini. Overall, they competently serve a fresh seafood menu, but I would agree with other posters who have complained that it's missing that 'zing or wow moment with dishes at that price.
