The Scene

Park the car and leave the world behind. Sunfish Grill is a cozy spot with dappled, coral-colored walls, neat white tablecloths and the pungent aroma of garlic filling the air. It might be small, but it certainly is popular, so don't forget to make reservations and don't go too late--the restaurant tends to run out of specials, some of its most exciting dishes.

The Food

This is the spot for fine, fresh, intelligently prepared seafood. Sunfish soup, made and priced daily, is a rich, buttery crayfish-based bisque, almost a meal in itself. Sweet-tasting grilled lobster arrives on a bed of tender, mushroom-flecked risotto; penne with Gulf shrimp and broccoli rabe is an inventive and intriguing melange of contrasting textures and tastes. For dessert, the Key lime pie topped with singed meringue turrets is subtle, creamy and utterly luscious.
