"Chef Aaron Bludorn and his team follow up the dining mainstay Bludorn with this Rice Village restaurant. New York chef Jerrod Zifchak steers the menu, offering top-notch service and inventive seafood dishes like crawfish risotto, squid ink linguine with rock shrimp and prosciutto, and special fish preparations like blackened red snapper served with aji amarillo or delicate dover sole with meuniere. Diners shouldn’t miss the hot biscuits served with seaweed butter or the baked clams. Find paella, served on Mondays and Tuesdays, which feeds two to three people for $65. Diners can also venture out to Bludorn’s other restaurants, including the tavern-style restaurant, Bar Bludorn, tucked into Memorial. Best for: Navy Blue is multi-faceted, meaning it functions just as well for a date night and special occasion spot as it does for family outings and group gatherings. The hospitable staff is what makes all the difference." - Brittany Britto Garley
