Beautifully Designed Seafood Restaurant

You know that feeling of love at first sight? Well that’s how I felt when I first walked into Alcomar, El Chile’s newest Latin-inspired seafood restaurant on South 1st St. I may have let out a little gasp and squeal, and told the boyfriend, “I already love it!” Exaggerated? Probably, but I’m a sucker for beautifully designed restaurants.

Aside from a beautifully designed space (reminiscent of a contemporary beach house), Alcomar’s lunch and dinner is on point with lobster, soft shell crab, snapper, gulf oysters, shrimp, scallops, as well as steak, and chicken. Happy hour is daily from 3-6pm, with discounted appetizers and drinks.
