Went for a team dinner and the food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend all their seafood plates. Most of the table got octopus which was amazing. For my main I got the fresh catch which was also very good, the only down side is that their side veggies are not flavored at all. But everything else was great!

Extraordinary staff. Very helpful helping me getting seated - I was with my mom with limited mobility. I can’t remember ever being so well taken care of by a restaurant. Helping us choose the wine, food… a real pleasure. Food was fantastic as well. We were not rushed at all.

Went to a date with my girlfriend there and we had a very nice and private place as I requested when doing the reservation, and the staff was very nice and making sure regularly that we had everything we needed. This might actually be the best place where I had a date night and plan to go back as soon as I can
