In early June, we talked to Little Fish chef/owner Mike Stollenwerk about the plans for Fish, his much bigger and much more liquor-licensed restaurant in the former Astral Plane at 1708 Lombard Street. The chef's shared a sample menu � nothing's set in stone yet � with Meal Ticket. Get an idea of what to expect (food'll be broken down into "raw," "cold," "hot" and "sweet" categories) after the jump. Stollenwerk adds that he's also working on a "lounge menu," consisting of about 10 items, that he'll offer at the bar till 1 a.m. after dinner hours (4-10 p.m.) wrap up. They're still on pace to open shortly after Labor Day.

A restaurant dedicated to fish is something I have always felt is missing in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. I've never had a bad dinner at Little Fish so I'm very excited to see Fish open. The lack of prices listed makes me a little nervous, however. Is this only because it's sample menu, or is it a sign of expensive offerings? Does anyone know?
Poncho: I believe the no-prices thing is a result of it being a sample menu. Details are still scarce, but judging by the price points at Little Fish, my guess is that Fish won't be too hard on the wallet.
