"Reopening Wednesday, March 20 after a complete renovation of the former Gulch seafood spot Fin & Pearl, I learned Pemrose is a seafood-focused restaurant named after Shel Silverstein’s poem "Have Fun" and was re-conceptualized by Red Pebbles and Fresh Hospitality with The 404 Kitchen’s executive chef and culinary director Matt Bolus helping to reimagine the menu (Bolus will remain on as executive chef at The 404 Kitchen). Leaning on Pacific and Pan-Asian flavors, fish will be flown in daily and the menu is organized into On Arrival, Starters, Salads, Sushi and Mains, and a Day Boat section for the freshest available fish; highlights include a tin of branzino with toast, tiered seafood platters to share, crispy karaage, crab bruschetta, king crab legs, six sushi roll options, a tea-smoked teriyaki salmon, seafood bolognese, and a Hawaiian ribeye. Shortly after opening there will be a limited omakase tasting at the bar on Friday and Saturday nights, and Chef Bolus plans to add Norwegian langoustines and live king crabs in the future. Lunch will feature Maine- or Connecticut-style lobster rolls, fish tacos, and mussels with fries. The cocktail menu mixes classics with twists such as the To Hell and Back (Jose Cuervo traditional tequila, triple sec, lime, habanero agave, firewater tincture, and black lava salt), and a small, carefully sourced sake menu will pair with dishes. The dining room seats 285 with indoor and patio seating and multiple private dining options; hours are Monday–Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Delia Jo Ramsey
