Paiche@Marina del Rey ★★★

Impressive Peruvian Fusion with a Blend of Japanese. Same owner as Picca and Mo-Chia. Unusual foods that tasted fantastic. Tapas style. 3-4 dishes per person recommended, one from each category. Uni dishes were excellent. Uni Shrimp Toast & Uni Risotto (with crispy surprise) are must-try. Definitely try their signature Amazonian fish Paiche, which looked and tasted like Short Rib. Aioli looked like Baked Cheese. Reminded me of Molecular Gastronomy. Lobster Fried Rice was a bit salty. Great friendly service.

Enterprise Seafood Co@Santa Monica ★★★

Great Seafood. Love their Ahi Poke. Scallops in the Scallop Risotto tasted like it's missing some salt, but if you eat it with the risotto at the same time, then it would taste great. Mussels were fatty and great. Lobster Bisque was yum yum. Went with a $15 for $30 Groupon.

prime pan-seared sea scallops served over a creamy seasonal vegetable risotto

Traditional Hawaiian Ahi Poke $9.95
