Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar

Editorial Review

With 17 varieties of oysters, a raw bar whose sushi prep is captured on CCTV and service that's a cut well above, it's no wonder NHLers and visiting megastars keep heads turning here. The fresh sheet reads like a love letter to the sea, and chef Frank Pabst is the culinary Valentino with a passion for all Poseidon's wallflowers and urchins. Devastatingly stocked wine room offers private dining, or try the intimate little streetside terrace.
