Conchas de Piedra

1 Star (Green Star) • Seafood, Mexican. This rustic-chic collaboration from the people behind Deckman’s and the winery Casa de Piedra brings together what both places do best: seafood and sparkling wine. The outdoor dining area is casual and inviting thanks to communal tables, café lights strung overhead and a jaunty instrumental playlist. Diners do not need to opt for the full tasting and instead should look to the compact a la carte menu. Sourcing pristine seafood, the kitchen excels with raw or otherwise light preparations in the form of aguachiles and ceviches. A tray (or two) of perfect oysters matched with a crisp and bubbly Blanc de Noir certainly gets the meal off on the right foot, followed by tender, sliced geoduck paired with beet aioli, ponzu and cucumber.
