36 Degrees chef was awesome at seafood and apparently he still is. While the menu is not completely saturated by sea creatures it does reach near critical-density in every category. If you are a fan of seafood, any variety, just close your eyes and pick something, you will like it.

For those that liked the intimacy and casual romantic quality of Inwood Quarters, relax, even though the colors have changed to some variation of 3-years-ago green, it still retains its original character. For those of you who had been to Inwood Quarters in the summer you know their AC could never quite keep up with 100+, this has unfortunately also not changed. A better bet would be to go later at night or when the temps are less than 95, that seems to be the magic number for comfortable dining.

I've been here twice, once with the incredible shrinking Laurel and again with Home Depot Guy. Both loved it. I loved it. If I had to recommend one dish it would be the Crab Ludwig. Think Crab Louis with a twist. The twist is all of the ingredients are molded into a tall cylinder then displayed on a stark white plate surrounded by thinly sliced cucumber. I loved the display; layer of crab, then egg whites, then egg yolks, then tomato, more crab, more egg, more tomato, more, um, well crap, I lost count but you get the point. A side of Ludwig (Louis) dressing and you are set for one delicious and deceptively filling meal.

This is definitely a date place; quiet, casual, comfortably romantic and reasonably priced.
