| History: | The restaurant started as a BYOB and acquired a liquor license in February 2007. But we were told by Alison herself that even with the license, you can still BYO with a modest corkage fee. (Though we recommend calling ahead to make sure the policy has not changed.) |
| Description: | Chef/owner Alison Barshak has appeared again with Alison at Blue Bell. The fusion menu features seafood with Asian and Latin influences, like the pan-fried skate served with chili powder, brown butter sauce and guacamole. Try the tender fried squid, scented with ginger beneath squiggles of wasabi sauce. Or sample the duck confits served with a Moroccan flair from pistachip-and-fig couscous and a pomegranate-citrus, with toasted anise and chipotle spice. |

Have dined both inside and outside, both here and the older location. This lady is a "Pro" and knows the food business. The menu changes with the season, but is always great. Try the Crab Cakes and the Peppered Tuna and the dessersts are a must. For a perfect evening bring your own glasses.
