Fodor's Expert Review Boathouse Asian Eatery

This pan-Asian spot from a brother-and-sister team from California's Sonoma County is a lively, colorful, and contemporary anchor for the renovated and expanded Palace Station. Boathouse covers the gamut from small plates to large-format seafood, such as whole live lobster and whole live crab, as well as sushi, rolls, crispy crab wontons, and hard-to-find foods like abalone. There are blackboard specials and a daily happy hour from 4 to 6 pm in the bar area.
