Hollywood Boulevard bustles outside, but upon entering Delphine at the new W Hollywood, you might swear you've somehow wandered into the South of France. The food is sunny Mediterranean; the patrons look as though they should be hanging out on the Croisette.

Chef Sascha Lyon assembles a seafood platter. The Delphine version is replete with oysters, steamed mussels, clams, shrimp, sea snails, scallop ceviche and Dungeness crab.
