This stylish seafooder serves up good-quality fish to an energetic crowd. The high-ceilinged, casually sophisticated room is beautifully lit and perfect for romancing couples and celebratory groups alike. In warm weather, there are few better outdoor patios than Blue Water's.

You can put together a platter of oysters and littlenecks on the half shell from the extensive raw bar, order lobster by the pound (steamed, grilled, or broiled), or go with one of the prepared catches of the day. Look for both Asian and Mediterranean influences on the menu, which makes the most of what's fresh. The best selections -- often Atlantic salmon, wild striped bass, and Pacific mahi mahi -- come from the kitchen's wood-burning grill. A live jazz combo entertains in the Art Deco-influenced downstairs dining room nightly, while everybody swings at Sunday brunch.
