THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED 26 Restaurant Review:


Since 26 is the playfully edgier sister restaurant to Ocean next door, you’d expect plentiful seafood on offer and you’ll indeed find it, but terrestrial options are not neglected. A popular cheeseburger is served with truffle-scented fries and pickle salad at all times of the day. Carnivores will appreciate the citrus-rubbed short ribs accompanied by mashed red skin potatoes, local snap beans and cipollini onions. Daily features often are some sort of grilled fish, such as Gulf Coast amberjack resting on a bed of Rosa Bianca eggplant ratatouille, topped with heirloom tomato jam and plated with fried burgundy okra, lending the dish an appealing crunch. A menu of sushi rolls includes a Chang Mai tuna sashimi and an ahi tuna carpaccio with wasabi aïoli. For a sweet finish, try a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich or a vanilla bean crème brûlée with orange macadamia nut cookies. A bar menu is available from 2 p.m.-5 p.m.; Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. there are $2 and $6 drink and appetizer specials. Wednesdays bring complimentary wine tastings with selected bottles at half price.
