Zee Grill & Oyster Bar Description:
Zee is relaxed, yet cool looking, with black tables and chairs, exposed brick walls, brick-glazed floor tiles, an oyster bar towards the front and outdoor patio at the back. Chef-owner Jac Eckhardt has been in the kitchen for over 25 years cooking, including when it was called Phebe's. Oysters are always a good starter; the daily selection changes according to what's freshly available. A ho-hum ceviche of various lime-marinated seafood and fish is fortunately jazzed up by an accompaniment of hot corn cakes. Eckhardt has a good hand with fish preparations, so expect wild salmon to be cooked translucent and served with a savory porcini sauce. Best are the seasonal specials like roasted baby pumpkin stuffed with seafood succotash. Have the upside-down Granny Smith apple tart with house-made ice cream for dessert. Under a thin pastry shell, it manages to be both light and satisfying. The ever-evolving wine list offers much more than the usual, including Albariño, Grüner Veltliner and other white grapes great with seafood.
