The good vibrations at the new Sunfish Grill are in an entirely different register from at its 8-year-old predecessor. The original restaurant in Pompano Beach was a minuscule space with the grill in full view. Diners sat happily hip to elbow with their neighbors, making incredulous noises of pleasure over Sunfish’s specialty dishes, like the jewel-toned crab Charlotte, a hearty conch chowder studded with littleneck clams, or an ethereally moist little swordfish filet set in a pool of mushroom reduction. The new place seats up to 200, offers a full liquor bar, and has chic touches, like a cozy lounge with overstuffed furniture where you can nurse a cocktail while you wait for your table. Sunfish has grown up, but Sindaco’s dishes (“contemporary American seafood”) are still full of character, of small details lovingly rendered, of sauces and infusions that seem to have been evaporated down to an intense purity of flavor. Expensive but worth every sou.
