The food was spectacular. Drinks and dessert may still need tinkering. But again, the food we had was better than some Michelin star restaurants I’ve been to. I will be running back for the food. We had the cauliflower salad, octopus, lamb tacos, and salmon and they were all around 9/10 or better. Wow.

Everything was exceptional except for the browned butter farfalle dish which tasted like burnt meat or the pan the butter was cooked on. Was unpleasant but the server took it off our bill which was nice of him.

Amazing! Delicious! 10/10 We came for brunch and everything was phenomenal. The squid ink seafood risotto was spectacular!
