Fairly priced for excellent food that is well executed. Flavors were well balanced in every dish. The mixologists/bartenders were fantastic and cocktails are to die for. This is our new regular date night at the Wharf! We were able to try a significant portion of the menu without being too full or under fed. Didn't have room for dessert this visit, next weekend for sure!
I really was torn between four and five stars for this. It's a very good restaurant, and I liked it almost as much as Del Mar. Like Del Mar, Requin is from a chef stepping outside of his history a bit. Mike Isabella has a great history with Mediterranean restaurants, but this is more like traditional French than that.
The restaurant is very small and crowded. Reservations are recommended but sometimes there is bar seating. One big disappointment for me, the reason I went with four stars instead of five: they couldn't get draft beer working while I was there. The first beer I ordered was flat, they gave me a second which was also flat, then they realized that the CO2 cartridges needed to be changed. I ended up getting a can instead.
The food, however, was all very good. The focaccia with maitre d butter with parsley was a great start. I especially liked the pommes beignets, the English pea tarte, and the Paris gnocchi.
Lustrous and elegant from floor to ceiling with all accuments of a fine bar/restaurant. It's equipped with a voluminous wine menu, classic draft beer and cocktail selection. The food is prepared well, and reasonably sized. The outside patio affords a nice view of the waterfront.
