With easy access (no tricky parking!) and a 4.7 Google rating, itâs a hit for dates, group meals, or anyone craving bold flavors with a hint of familiarity. đ The Standouts (Worth the Hype) Rohan Duck Three Ways đŚ The star that drew us in. This dish leans into rich, savory, and slightly oily flavorsâthink crispy-skinned duck breast, smoky duck sausage, and fragrant duck fried rice with crunchy bits . Itâs bold, satisfying, and surprisingly âChinese palate-friendlyâ with its depth of flavor. Delicious at first bite, but pair it with a cocktail or sparkling water to cut through the richness by the end. Yellowtail Crudo đ A reason to N ĺˇ. A stunning appetizer: buttery yellowtail sashimi tossed with sweet-tart peach, toasty nut crumbs (slightly charred, adding smokiness), and a bright, fruity dressing. The combination of fresh fish, juicy fruit, and crunchy nuts is unexpected and addictiveâlight, vibrant, and perfect for cleansing the palate. Fingers crossed it sticks around, even as the menu shifts seasonally. Squid Ink Fusilli đŚ A fun, bold pasta: jet-black squid ink noodles with tender squid pieces in a light tomato-tinged sauce, topped with salty-umami breadcrumbs. Itâs rich, slightly briny, and satisfyingâgreat for sharing. đ Tips for Your Visit Share Everything: The staff isnât kiddingâdishes are designed to pass around. This way, you can try more (like that crudo and the duck!). Weekend Reservations: Book aheadâSeaport gets busy, and this spot fills up fast. Budget: ~$70 per person + tip, but portions are generous (youâll leave stuffed). đš Vibe & Extras The atmosphere is cozy and unrushed, making it easy to linger over shared plates.
