Davy Jones' Locker By Marlene　Translated by Ann Lee (04) 2208-5222 199-5, ZhongHua Rd, Sec 2 Hours: 11:30 am-1:30 pm, 5-8:30 pm Credit cards not accepted. No service charge. Legend has it that the pirate Davy Jones was cursed by the devil himself, leaving his chest full of treasure forever out of his reach. These days, regulars at Davy Jones' Locker will tell you that the real treasure is located in the Mediterranean-style building on WenXin road. The red and black velvet decorations inside of Davy Jones' Locker give the impression of being in the dark depths of the ocean; the dangling chandeliers shine like underwater pearls and set the mood in the laid-back dining room. Also, to keep the restaurant even more intimate, all of the tables are separated by striped curtains. Even if you come in a large group, Davy Jones' Locker can accommodate to your needs. Great cuisine is another doubloon in Davy Jone's abundant treasure; fittingly, seafood plays the main role on the menu. The variety of delectable dishes here are exotic; try the D.J. Seafood, made with specially-selected scallops from Hokkaido, fresh shrimp, Argentinean squid, and mussels from New Zealand. These top quality sea offerings are made complete with potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and their exclusive sauces. All the main courses here can be upgraded to a set meal, which comes with a glass of red or white wine. (Meal A +NT$190, Meal B+NT$170, and with a glass of red/white wine, pay NT$150). Furthermore, there are affordable business set lunches from Monday to Friday (NT$199), as well as a display of afternoon tea set selections (NT$150), light meals, and snacks (NT$100-320). With such a robust selection of delicacies, it's no wonder that their drink menu is also full; you can enjoy anything from coffee and cocktails, to organic vegetable and fruit juices (NT$80-160). From 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on weekdays, Davy Jones' lounge bar provides a good selection of cocktails, beers, and whiskey, along with their food. Every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m., there are live jazz band performances, making the restaurant/lounge a complete place to spend a swashbucklin' good time.
