From Hubert Marsolais and Claude Pelletier, the duo behind the hit restaurant Le Club Chasse & Pêche (“hunting and fishing”), comes this restaurant focusing on local seafood. Chef de cuisine Yasu Okazaki’s small plates include raw compositions with a Japanese influence (fluke with Japanese plum, wasabi and cucumber) and—under the oddly named “Amphibian” portion of the menu—upscale surf-and-turf combinations, like lobster with sweetbreads and chanterelle mushrooms. The funky space combines glitzy gold-colored walls, simple bistro wooden chairs and large-scale photographs of the sea.
