We enjoyed our meal and especially the grilled octopus! The flavor was outstanding! The cocktail portions were in smaller glasses although mixed well. The ribeye was flavorful and served with three sauces. The side avocado, tomato and cucumber salad was delicious! The waiter was attentive and polite and service was timely. I would dine here again.

Large space, very crowded and bustling, but quite loud. Servers were excellent, and knowledgeable. We shared the cold beef carpaccio, and i had salmon, and husband had sole. Dessert was chocolate mousse cake, it was decadent and rich. Very reasonably priced. We had a lovely Christmas dinner.

Side dishes were served cold. Rather than just bringing fresh sides, they took my entire plate and warmed it all - drying everything including the main dish so it was not edible. Very unfortunate experience.
