  1. I've eaten at Caldwell Seafood at least 6 times, AND THE FOOD IS DEFINITELY 4 1/2 to 5 stars!  We love the crusted halibut in particular, and they will always make it for me w/ their horseradish crust (wich is sometimes on the "specials" menu), but it's great w/ the almond or mushroom crust  on the regular menu.  It's a seafood market in the back, and restaurant in the front, and it's BYOB..  So why 4 stars and not 5?  Well, there are two small complaints:  1). The decor is ok (fish mural on one wall and some nice large photos of coral reefs on the other walls), but I'm not digin' the white "office-like" drop ceiling and its not as cozy or romantic as it could be (I'd suggest a darker ceiling, a few candles on the tables, and better lighting)., and 2). the bread is terrible.  But the food is otherwise almost five-star, the portions are very generous, the vegetable/ potato side dishes are perfectly cooked, and the fish is so fresh and delicious.  They have a middle-aged to older crowd that really appreciates this kind of quality ( I guess the younger crowd either doesn't seek out  this quality, or prefers chains like Olive Garden or places with a bar scene).  But the food is really great… Go for the halibut if you get the chance.
