Fire & Water Fish and Chophouse

DOWNTOWN. Stylish and appealing, Fire & Water offers a fine Pacific Northwest meal in particularly comfortable surroundings. Although the specialty of the house is Prime Rib' à la Plaque (tender beef cured with brandy, pan-seared with a unique spice rub and served with cognac demi glace), seafood really shines here. Try the Digby scallops with wilted spinach and caramelized shallots, or a steaming bowl of cioppino brimming with crab, local fresh fish and veggies. The adjacent lounge, a great place to relax by the fireplace with a cocktail, serves more casual fare such as burgers topped with smoked bacon, aged cheddar and house made barbecue sauce, and fish and chips (salmon or halibut with hand cut smoked paprika fries).
