Absolutely stunning interior! The food was great and the staff were outstanding! We went for lunch at 3:00 and had the price fixe menu. Salmon and Octopus were great! The staff are very friendly and attentive. We sat at our table for 3 hours taking in the ambiance of the restaurant and the staff were so accommodating. We ended up moving to the bar and had wine. The bartender let us taste every wine by the glass before deciding what we wanted. A definite must try!
