quadrant

what's unique
this trendy restaurant used to be a loading dock and offers both a sushi bar and fresh seafood, with a late night sushi sake happy hour

what to order
raw oysters and ceviche

fun fact
the owners of Bay 13 are the same people who own Paragon which is located just a block south

my short and sweet opinion
pearl-esque atmosphere with a great bar that offers yummy specialty cocktails and a welcoming environment

pros
raw oysters are very fresh, as is the ceviche which changes daily

cons
they are on their 3rd chef in a year, which isn't necessarily a good sign but it appears they may have found a good one this time; the cuisine i have indulged in has been fresh and delicious thus far
