Once again, I've culled the latest review's pictures from my spy camera and uploaded them here so you can see what I was writing about. Riffle NW's chowder is a thing of beauty, one of the most satisfying $10 seafood dishes in town, rich with plentiful morsels of mussels, flaked white fish, scented beautifully with fresh tarragon, etc. The whole roast fish is meal for two, honestly, so at $27 or so it's no puzzler, just pair it with a few sides. I thought this place was great, if spendy in places, and juggling a whole new shipment of seafood each day means there can be hits and misses as they invent on the fly, but the quality is superb.
