Description:
Tucked away near the back entrance of Borders Books at the odd Sunset + Vine complex is this modern, casual, bustling place for local and regional seafood that is simple and seasonal: The raw bar has some of the freshest chilled oysters, crab legs, and Santa Barbara sea urchin (served in the spiny shell); the market lettuces with pecorino cheese, egg, and avocado is a refreshing take on chopped salad; and mussels or clams simmered in chorizo-laden broth is hearty and flavorful. And for you landlubbers, there is exactly one all-meat dish: The pug burger, a towering beef patty (more like a ball) charred to perfection and served with thin, crispy fries. The annual Maryland-style crab feast (one of Lentz's childhood favorites) is one of the most anticipated events for locals. The bar puts out fresh-fruit cocktails; get the "kumquatini." There's a great patio for lunch, brunch, and warm summer nights.
