THE OWNERS SAY: Just steps from the Williamsburg Bridge, A'shay Restaurant spices up Brooklyn with a fresh style of seafood fusion. Drawing culinary influences from almost every continent, the cozy establishment serves its cosmopolitan fare underneath a romantic lighting scheme and surrounded by a minimalist garden decor. Depending on the season, patrons can enjoy their meal indoors or in the outdoor garden. While they wait, guests can sip a drink at the wine bar, which features an extensive collection of contemporary varietals, clams and oysters on the half-shell and a revolving platter of artisanal cheeses. Popular dishes include Camarones con Ajo, large tiger shrimp served over a bed of plantains smothered in a spicy garlic sauce; Wild Citrus Glazed Salmon accompanied by coconut and mint basmati rice; and Chicken Picatta, cooked in a white wine sauce with capers and sun dried tomatoes.

NEW YORK MAGAZINE SAYS: "Formerly known as Hurricane Hopeful/Carmaya, this minimalist space serves decent, if unspectacular seafood and Italian. Chowders, such as a traditional clam and a spicy Bahamian monkfish, anchor the menu while fried clams, mahimahi burgers and a whole fish of the day reveal a certain amount of ambition. The lobster roll is clam-shack simplicity: tender hunks of meat with just enough mayo to hold everything together. Among the old-world selections, a lobster pappardelle is as toothsome and rich as any nonna's, but a more distinctive Italian accent comes from the deconstructed, dunkable tiramisu, proof that owner Maya Pizzati hasn't gone Gidget quite yet. Used boards (some for sale) hang above the wax-cloth-covered tables, and the sand-filled garden is a perfect spot to quaff a mojito. Maine lobster is the special on Wednesdays, and some Sunday nights bring a live jazz trio. The post-Rockaway crowd swears by the weekend brunch, especially the Carmaya Plate, a heaping platter of breakfast items that includes pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Recommended Dishes: Lobster roll, $14; pappardelle with lobster, $14; New England clam chowder, $6.25"
