Todd English's bluezoo

The Write-Up

The full story

Todd English's bluezoo at the Dolphin wraps seafood in an underwater glow, all blue glass and soft light, polished and romantic. The raw bar opens the night, then the signature dancing fish arrives grilled whole, alongside Cantonese-style lobster, branzino with crisp skin and crab nachos. Guests call the service and food top notch and the whole experience spot on, with the Burnt Orange and Zooberry pouring in the lounge for those who linger; just know the check runs high, even by resort standards.
