I ordered the grilled octopus and the garlic squid and both of these dishes were amazing! The grilled octopus so incredibly tender it had the texture of a perfectly cooked filet mignon and the flavors were incredible. The squid was very similar to a scampi and was cooked very well, very tender. I will definitely be coming back to try more

The waiter and I spoke back and forth using the translator because I wanted to ask if my sea bass could come out as just a filet, not an entire fish lol he was so sweet about it and it came out perfectly. He also brought a complementary dessert and WOW. It was amazing I ate it so fast. Beautiful space as well, only empty because I tend to eat much earlier than most lol
Highly recommend to anyone passing by, you'll get the...
