Berkeley, California: Maritime East Restaurant (CLOSED); restaurant review


Maritime East Restaurant  CLOSED  2826 Telegraph Ave./Oregon St., (510) 848-9299. D Tu-Sun; $$. Reservations advised.

Featuring a sleek décor, with a back wall that peeks into the open kitchen covered in a metal-sculpted version of silver fish scales, this simple spot whips up tasty fish dishes. A raw bar features a variety of oysters and clams, and some fish items—as well as a few pizzas--are prepared in a wood-burning oven. Fish & chips and petrale sole are good choices, and specials change with the seasons. A cheeseburger served on Acme bread and several other meat dishes are also options. Coconut cream pie is not to be missed—even the crust is delicious, perhaps because it is prepared from the owner’s mom’s recipe. In addition to wine, cocktails and a selection of beers are available.
