If you want fresh fish and don't care what you spend this is the place you must go. Fish is flown in daily and is absolutely delicious. The service is fantastic. Get the sommelier to pick your wine (give him a price range if you have one). They usually have about 10-15 fresh fish choices. You can actually walk to the display and pick the fish you would like. (The fish are packed in ice not swimming!) There are a few other non-fish choices on the menu but I would go to the Black Olive unless it was for fish. The one exception is the Kakavia soup. It is a hearty soup filled with all kinds of seafood and is a good option if none of the fish sounds good. If it is on the menu the Dover Sole is perhaps the best choice albeit usually the most expensive.

The server will ask how you want the fish brought to the table (with head, etc) or if you like will carve the fish fillets for you tableside using spoons. There is typically one vegetable side dish included with your fish. Some are good, others are just okay but the fish is what you came for anyway.
