Blue Water Grill
Description
As the name suggests, fish is the name of the game here, in a grand, high-ceilinged space that formerly housed a bank. The preparations are decidedly unfussy, giving the fish itself room to shine: A long list of sushi; blackened swordfish with a hash of sweet potato and crab and sea bass with wasabi vinaigrette are among the highlights (steak and chicken dishes are available for the seafood shy). The bar is a bubbling pick-up scene among youngish professionals.
