    Went there while visiting the city, super good food and great value for the city. Centralized location and super friendly staff! Would come again next time we’re in the area!

    I love grilled octopus, so when I saw it on the menu I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately it was dry and rubbery and the bean mixture it was served on was tasteless. I also had the short rib pasta. it was tasty and serve hot but not something to go back for. The staff was attentive, although did not pick up on the sub par octopus The atmosphere was loud they were playing beat driven club music which did not match the decor. And it was cold. every time the door opened. a cold wind came into the room. There are much better restaurants in the area to dine at

    I had a reservation for 7:45 to celebrate my birthday with my friends, There were 3 of us, and we arrived there at the correct time, but they just put us at a table at 8:22, this was unrespectful in my opinion, we had others plan for 9pm, so unfortunately we had to leave without a drink or eat anything

    The waitress Carmen was amazing. The place is beautiful. The food is horrible. They did not season a thing, not even salt and pepper. We left the food on the table. The drinks were watered down as well. Please fire all the cooks and reopen with new cooks and a better menu.

    The restaurant is beautiful inside with such a warm ambience. The food was delicious and provide good portions. Also, the bartender did not shy off the alcohol - no complaints here!

    Birthday celebration at another table was triggering. Like concussion triggering. The entire dining room transformed into bright strobe lights and lasers. Many patrons were covering their eyes. Ruined the entire dining experience. Not worth the risk.
