The atmosphere and design were sophisticated, service was smooth. Small and intimate dining room which makes the experience more enjoyable. The food did not blow me away as some of the crudos needed more flavor for me but it was solid.

Impeccable, sharp, tasteful. A real professional crew of caring culinary connoisseurs in a well designed space. Go for it!

This is where I take people when I want to impress them. The food is incredible! There's nothing like it anywhere else I've ever been. They're the first place that's ever made swordfish that I, not just like, but love. Their selection of wine is extensive and the knowledgeable staff are there to guide you to the right bottle.
If it's on the menu, you have to get the scallop cake. I dream of this thing regularly. You also should check out their selection of raw fish. There's nothing on there that isn't absolutely amazing! Finally, their uni pasta is absolutely amazing.

We loved Kali and Koast is amazing too! The food is as beautiful as it is delicious! The space is gorgeous and the service impeccable. It was the perfect spot to celebrate our bestie’s birthday. Highlights include tuna tartare to cry for- crispy scallop cakes- the best halibut ever- lobster and the fish of the day. Everything is so fresh and unique. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic service, stellar wine program, and a tuna crisp I’ll think about forever!
Jeremy Roberts
Amazing meal, best I’ve had in a while. The food was out of this world, loved the cod and crudos. Great wine list with lots of gems. A true neighborhood standout

Fresh fish, fab wine selection, and fantastic dessert! I’m still thinking about the salmon crudo and banana crème pie in a martini glass. Wow.

Absolutely loved everything about this place. The design is stunning, coastal elegance with modern touches that make every corner photo-worthy. The vibe was spot on: relaxed, yet buzzing with energy. Staff were warm and attentive without being overbearing. And the food? Incredible. The yellowtail crudo, prawns, cornbread, and crispy scallop cakes were bursting with flavor and plated beautifully. This is the kind of spot you’ll want to return to again and again, whether for a date night, a chill hang with friends, or to impress out-of-towners. A new Melrose favorite!

Great seafood, definitely get the chowder and shrimp confit.
Really wanted to like this place but food was hit or miss. Neither of the raw fish dishes we tried (recommended by the server) were great and portions were very small. The yellow tail crudo didn't taste fresh. We told the waitress we didnt like it. She removed it from the table but not from the bill. Bread was burnt (served burnt side down) so had to send that back. Halibut, lobster manicotti and desert were good but not enough to come back.

The portions are tiny, more for individual servings and not meant to be shared, despite what they say. The atmosphere is very noisy and the tables are set so closely together that customers have to get up to let others pass by.

Nothing outstanding. We ordered many dishes. Minuscule serving vs very high. Price point don’t go together. Never understood why this and other restaurants think several leaves of Romaine on a plate with some dressing drizzled on constitute a Caesar Salad Menu not appealing for a seafood restaurant. Server said “our dishes are served family style. Correct if your family consists of one or two people. Any more than that forgettaboudit Out of the way location, small portions, high price point not a recipe for longevity
