    The food was so good! I was apprehensive at first bc I didn’t even know what half the words were on the menu. But after googling a few words the menu was less daunting. Everything just had such wonderfully intense flavors. Even things I don’t typically like, like artichokes were made so uniquely delicious. I had swordfish skewers over walnut pesto with a zesty Greek yogurt and it was excellent. I asked the bartender what special cocktail I should try when my go-to is an old fashioned. He recommended an Islay of Beauty which was a pear/orange interpretation of an old fashioned and was fantastic.

    The food was delicious and staff was very friendly and helpful. The hostess came over to check on how we were liking to food - particularly the octopus was delicious. And the manager Amex over and brought my daughter a complimentary cornbread (yummy) as my meal came out before hers. Would definitely go again.
