10Best Says

Named after the Scorpion fish a predatory coastal fish, Cabazon preys on appetites with an innovative menu of seasonal seafood sensations. A fish market by day, this well-loved neighborhood seafood bistro features a cozy bar area and rustically elegant dining room every night of the week. Lovely local wines enhance appetizers like plump basil-wrapped shrimp and such superb entrees as pan-roasted sole with tarragon gremolata, crave-worthy cioppino, and rgilled Oregon albacore with roasted romanesco, lentil du puy, arugula and tomato chutney. The desserts, particularly the chocolate pot de creme and lavender honey creme brulee, are equally divine. The menu changes daily based on what is in season.
