 Fish and shellfish flown in from many countries around the world are the calling cards of this consistent and sophisticated seafood specialist in the French Quarter. From the wood-grilled New Bedford sea scallops with mushroom risotto to the Chilean sea bass braised in hot-and-sour shrimp stock, chef/co-owner Tenney Flynn’s preparations are unique to this part of the U.S. Cold-smoked oysters, a standout dish, come sizzling, to be dipped in lemon butter. Swordfish in a crust of cashews and peppercorns is enriched by a veal jus. Jumbo lump crab cakes get zip from a side of spicy Asian slaw. Vegetables are winners too, as in wood-grilled eggplant with onions, pepper and feta cheese. Dessert? That’s easy: molten chocolate cake. The wine list is more than serviceable, and the courteous waiters show evidence of proper training. The décor of the big, circular dining room --- with cheery artworks that have a seafood theme --- is colorful and energetic without being intimidating. Noise is muffled by carpeting. G W Fins is a sophisticated, urban dining room for grown-ups.
