Over priced, over rated

This restaurant came highly recommended by some and since we love seafood, we decided on Sea Blue for dinner while we were in Las Vegas. It was a big disappointment. Despite having made reservations far in advance, we were seated in the bar area, rather than the main dining area. This is a very expensive restaurant (over $200 for two with no wine) and it is not worth the money. We both had salads which were ok but nothing special and cost $14 each. I ordered the tuna medium rare and it came mostly raw, which I didn't send back since I eat raw fish without a problem. But all Sea Blue's fish is served with nothing on it - no sauce or any interesting preparation. It is grilled, supposedly over a wood fire but had no wood taste, with a minute amount of olive oil and parsley. It really had no flavor and I could do this at home on the grill for a lot less than the $41 they charged. My husband had the paella which he thought it was pretty good but not outstanding. The wine list is very expensive - we didn't see anything for less than $48. If there is a chef here with any imagination, they are keeping him well hidden. Altogether a big, boring disappointment.
