• USS Nemo Review (Jan. 31, 2008)

Description: A stylized sort of nautical setting, Nemo's cool, comfortable blue interior gives one just a hint of the old "Voyage to the Bottom of Sea" motif with round brass portholes and a mock periscope, or "eye peeper thing," as Kylie called it. The menu definitely appeals to those with a taste for the exotic as it successfully marries a seafood cornucopia with Asian cuisine. The service is impeccable and the entrees are styled in drop-dead gorgeous fashion. The Bento Boxes ($12.95), as they're called, are marvelous conversation starters. Even the pickled ginger is made to look like a piece of art. Salmon Pie ($9.95) is an elegant affair that elicits "Oohs" and "Ahs" as it arrives so picturesquely presented. The salmon is wrapped in phillo dough and stuffed with mushrooms, spinach and dill sauce — a true taste sensation next to a side salad topped with a tropical fruit medley. It's easy to see why USS Nemo's is popular with the going places crowd. And don't forget to try the Sake Bar.
