The Scene
It's a big, splashy, exuberant place, perfect for a night on the town with fish-loving friends. You could dock a yacht in the huge open dining room, where curving concrete-faced walls are softened by gauzy white curtains anchored with fistfuls of garlic bulbs. A stunning fish display lets diners choose their dinner from the day's catch. The legions of well-informed servers stay busy without hovering.

The Food
This isn't for those on a budget, but portions are generous. A heap of smoky, tender grilled octopus; a teetering stack of lightly fried, addictively salty eggplant and zucchini chips; a four-spreads platter including suave garlic-almond skordalia and punchy feta-pepper dip--share these to save room for a whole grilled fish, like the delectable dourade, fresh from Greek waters and served split, boned and simply seasoned with olive oil and capers.
