Angler

After closing temporarily last summer, Angler is open again on the bottom floor of Beverly Center. The menu at this upscale seafood spot features a short list of raw bites, grilled seafood, and some over-the-top cocktails that rely heavily on theatrics. As soon as you walk through the door, you'll be transported to what feels like a fishing lodge that just got a fancy revamp. There's taxidermy bass mounted on the walls, murky glass aquarium tanks dotted around the dining room, and a sleek open kitchen with a wood-burning hearth. While some dishes were great, others were under seasoned and, combined with the unique setting, our dinner at Angler was as confusing as it was enjoyable. We’ll check back soon to see if the concept starts to make a little more sense.
