"Grilled octopus and spaghetti carbonara
Both were very good."
Richard Garnica
"It was a unique and fun 3rd date experience. We had the place to ourselves and walked around looking at the fish both at floor level and above us. The dishes were plentiful and delicious."
Kristina Brimer
"We went to this place with some friends but I it was super overpriced. Most plates, the portions were way too small for the price. They do not include salad, or a side. I would not go back. They took really long to get our food out and other than our group, we were the only ones in the restaurant."
