I was early for lunch and there were hardly any people in the restaurant. We ordered chicken enchiladas and shrimp quesadillas--they were delicious! And by the time we left, it was full with everyone enjoying delicious Mexican food. Service was excellent and prices are reasonable--we'll be back!

Try the lobster roll (packed full with delicious lobster chunks). Both, the white New England clam chowder and red Manhattan clam chowder are packed with clams (not all potatoes). The calamari and fish and chips are fried to perfection. Delicious food casual atmosphere. Sometimes has a long line to order, but worth the wait.

5. Seiya

Michelin recommended restaurant 2013
Reviewed By ArlettaC
Seiya is a tiny restaurant with lots of atmosphere, quite reminiscent of neighborhood restaurants in Japan. Dark wood and stone decor, and the tallest front door anywhere. There's a long counter in the back with the sushi chefs, and several tables closer to the front. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The menu is mostly sushi, but there is a small selection of izakaya-type grilled veggies and meats, tempura, and salads. We had the grilled asparagus, chicken, and filet mignon, the vegetable tempura, and a tofu dish. It was all very fresh, nicely prepared, and served with delicious sauces. Try the sesame ice cream for a very different taste. A bit pricey, but extremely well done.

Very nice ambience for drinks and tapas. The Catena Malbec was very good. Our manhattan cocktails had a bitterness that was atypical. Tapa entrees were good: cerviche atun, empanadas de Argula, tostada de cangrejo y aguacate. This is an enjoyable venue for friendly gatherings.

Reviewed By Patrick S
It's certainly a popular establishment, drawing in lots of various patrons. Maybe it was our entree choices, maybe it was an off day for Saturday lunch. It was an okay meal. But we expected something more. I had the special Cordero a la Nortena and my mate had Lomo Saltado. While our hard-working server Sudir did a fine job. Neither dish wowed us. Not likely to be back.

Caring staff, literally. I had herbal tea, they had it, since I had sore throat. Lady waitress brought me another by herself. They spotter that we were first timers and took time to introduce their offering. Start with garlic cheese garnished bread, superbly done. Fish and chips is very tasty, potato chips of special style, portion to make you feel good. Finish off with home made sweets, like apple pie of special sort with cinnamon, oates, and ice cream scoop, a marvel of taste. Inside you feel welcome, warm and has interesting furniture. Observe the wooden ship scooner model and Xmas tree in lights. Must visit, dinner or lunch. Tops.

Right up front, let's get this straight, I like this place. So much that I requested my Son and his wife take me there for Father's Day when they asked. Note: due to schedule conflicts, Father's Day this year was observed on Friday night. Now that the intro is out of the way, let's get to the food. We started the evening off with Crawfish Hush puppies, Oysters' en Brochette and Ahi Tuna Taco Tare Tare for our starters split between 4 people. We paired those delicacies with a house rose` wine, Raspberry Vodka Lemonade, Maker's Mark Manhattan, and a Light Amber Ale going around the table. Perfect, perfect!!Entrees wise, in that same order, we individually chose Buttermilk Brined Fried Chicken, one Mardi Gras Menu with Shrimp CreoLa entree, Shrimp & Crawfish Ãtouffée and I had the one pound Crayfish special. Great Scot, they were really good but quite a mess to eat. The rest of us passed our plates so we could all sample the unique flavors and tastes of true New Orleans Bistro cuisine. Yes, to die for!!!Now to the sweet part of the trip there. Try a slice of Pecan Cheese Cake (included as part of the Mardi Gras menu) and one of my all time favorites, Bread Pudding. As usual, we all passed the items around so everyone can sample and comment. Exquisite, they were that good!!Happy Father's Day to all the Dads (and Grand Dads) out there.
