"James Beard Award winning chef Tim McKee's seafood restaurant is the single best place in town to order up a seafood tower. McKee has partnered with local seafood importer The Fish Guys to make hard-to-find seafood into accessible dishes. From casual dinner or pre-event drinks to weekend brunch pop-ups, this is place to see and be seen." - Joy Summers
