THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Blackfin Chop House & Raw Bar Restaurant Review:


Proving that times change tastes more than chefs do, Anthony Ambrose converted his namesake-inspired Ambrosia on Huntington into a mid-scale seafood and chop house. Bestowing upon it the same name and feel as his flagship Hingham location, Ambrose took the middle ground between chains like Legal Seafood and upscale ventures like Great Bay. The high-ceilinged dining room is crisply urbane in blue and black, offset by blonde wooden chairs. As for the menu, giant cuts of dry-aged steak, swordfish chops and creative sushi and appetizers play up Ambrose's bold American ideas with the occasional Asian accent---this is surf 'n' turf with style. It's a democratic second act from a chef who once symbolized the '90s over-the-top cooking movement---and, in its own mature way, a gutsier move than any of the vertical plate arrangements or daredevil combos he once slung in his youth.
