By and large, all the fish at the St. Louis Fish market is ultrafresh and well thought out from a preparation standpoint.

More About

Although the staff is uniformed and exceptionally attentive to basics, we encountered several missteps that shouldn't happen at a restaurant in this price range. We made a couple of specific requests -- once for a finger bowl or warm towel to mop up after the lobster and again for a cappuccino -- that were either forgotten or ignored. When the dinner check can easily approach the three-figure mark, you have the right to expect a high level of service.

But we can easily chalk the shortcomings up to a new restaurant's trying to get its sea legs under it. We're eager to see what chef Ivey has up his sleeve as he continues to experiment, and, meanwhile, local fish lovers have another alternative for very good fresh fish.
