Kevin M.Kevin M. McNally, CMP: Amazing restaurant dining. Great décor. Make reservations. My choices were these. Lamb Ragu, Charred Lamb Tartare, Slow Braised Leg of Lamb wrapped in Eggplant. Delicious Wine list. Terrific service!

Miro V.Miro Vejchoda: Great food and atmosphere

BiancaBianca: The perfect place for an afternoon bite. All the dishes are fresh and tasty-spreads served with warm pita, slices of beef, grilled brussels sprouts. The octopus was disappointing (too mushy)

Manoj A.Manoj Ambalavanan: Excellent meal, make sure to get the fried pig ears and the butternut squash créeme brûlée for dessert. Many great options with an equally extensive wine list

Mauricio A.Mauricio Alvarez: The Spanish octopus is to die for. The pork slade is also great. Good drinks. Very crowded, they don’t take reservations, it took us 1:20 to get a table for 2 on a friday night. Worth it though.

Mauricio A.Mauricio Alvarez: Octopus the best of the best
