 I believe it's called Mitchell's (sp) Fish Market.

 Haven't eaten there, but called to ask about dress code and pricing.  if my
 memory works correctly, men had to wear jackets.  the price in the 20-30ish
 range for the main course.  I believe you need a reservation also.  you
 might want to call assuming i have the name right

 Um, not quite.

 Jackets are certainly not out of place for men, but I've gone there
 several times in "business casual" (slacks/sweater) and fit right in.
 By comparison, less formal than Monterey Bay or even Pgh Fish Mkt in the
 Doubletree.
 Entrees are more in the high teens, with only a few things above the low
 20's.  For example, I had a combination shrimp platter (broiled, BBQ and
 tempura fried) for like 18 I think.  Fish entrees similar.  Now, add an
 appetizer for 7 or so, dessert, etc., you'll hit 40/person, but not 50+

 My impression on reservations is that they are accepted, pretty near
 required on the weekend, but possible without during the week.

 I like them, and they're close to me.  The "shanghai style" preparation
 is wonderful, with tons of ginger...
