Debra J.Debra Jackson: All the small shared plates were amazing. The shrimp was a favorite with everyone. Served like escargot with the best crust.

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

Felicia S.Felicia Schwartz: The steak grill wrap is excellent. I highly recommend it. The flatbread, however, is very flat, more like a tortilla, which I didn't really love. Otherwise great place!

Albert Y.Albert Yau: Don't listen to Felicia. The flatbread is very good. Made from fresh dough in the restaurant unlike most northside mediterranean joints that reheat bread. Try any of their grilled wraps and platters.

Maureen S.Maureen Sullivan: I've never had a bad meal here. All of the food is fresh and made with care.

Gonzalo J.Gonzalo Jimenez: Wonderful new restaurant in Lakeview. All food is cooked at the time you order, no pre-made stuff, only fresh and delicious food. Of course, that means that it takes longer to fulfill your orders.

Harlen F.Harlen Fleming: Everything is prepared to order, so it's fresh and hot.
