At first glance this slick, sea-view restaurant would seem
better located in Portland's Pearl District - especially since ex-Salishan chef now
presides over the kitchen. Red Fish boasts the freshest seafood in town, so take advant-
age: try the grilled jerk wild salmon or pan-seared halibut. Weekend brunch too.
