    Menu has an odd assortment of dishes. Promoted as small plates but took home half my sandwich. Expensive…$30 for lunch with no alcohol.

    I thought this place would have easily gotten 5 stars but for some reason it didn't meet my expectations. Booking was easy, parking was available, they had many people working there and everyone was nice. Food was coming out fast at first but then when they got busy it was taking very long. The only two reasons why it wasn't a 5 star was because the chicken was really dry, I wasn't expecting that. And the salmon tasted horrible which was not their mistake but whoever they source it from gave them really bad quality salmon. I usually would say something but couldn't this time since we were celebrating. The portions seemed small for the price and mostly carbs. I would probably have liked to see more protein dishes like octopus for example. The only dish that was really good was the shrimp.
