Went as a group of 3. Ambience was great - buzzy but still easy to talk. Food was fantastic, some tapas staples but a lot of different and unique dishes as well. Great variety across fish and meat. Could be a little more vegetarian selection though. The service was excellent throughout, really attentive. And the sommelier did a fantastic job of matching the extensive wine list!

Everyone from the time we walked in, until the time we were leaving was attentive and had great customer service. The shrimp loaf sandwich was awesome. I would like to go back and try the oysters. We tried a few side that I didn't care for but the 25 lunch special was a good deal.
