"The restaurant opened just five weeks ago in the former location of the Turtle Cafe. Owners Chris Schlesinger and Cary Wheaton spiffed up the interior with lots of light green high gloss paint and hints of Deco design in the lighting scheme. The open grilling station that is in full view at the back of the restaurant contributes some enjoyable steamy atmosphere."

NATIONAL ORIGINS: MASSACHUSETTS; Sweet Bounty Returns: Sea Scallops, By John Willoughby and Chris Schlesinger, June 21, 2000
"There are countless ways to cook scallops, although one of the most common is simply breaded and baked or broiled. There are countless ways to garnish them, with everything from bacon to cilantro. But every New Bedford scalloper we spoke with had the same idea: deep-fry them. The large scallops of summer 2000, plump and succulent, can be sliced in half to form medallions for quick frying, in the grand tradition of sailing ships and elegant dining rooms in New England since whaling days."
