    Seastar is generally very good, but this was our best experience so far. Our fish dishes were fabulous and the service was fantastic.

    Food was very good. But service was marginal. It felt like we were forgotten about for a considerable period of time. We had to go actually find the waitress before we got our order taken.

    Exceptional food. We had sushi which was a treat to have such amazing cuts of fish. Great service and knowledgeable staff. Never felt rushed even though we lingered on and talked more than we ate food. Easy to find parking too in the area or they'll validate parking at a close-by lot. Lovely diner spot over all.
