A really rare experience that I had.

Technically speaking I don’t consider myself a foodie as I am relatively relax about food. As long as it’s not overpriced and not a scam, I don’t pay too much attention.

We went here because of a friend’s recommendation and I was truly impressed by the food (sea food) that we got here.

Things were just right. The grilled sea food plate was served everything hot however nothing over-cooked. This wasn’t something easy. The smell of grill seafood was phenomenal. I don’t think the smell was from spice but probably from the umami from the seafood itself. I would say the taro was also top notch. Right amount of grill that it smelled great but still really tender and juicy inside.

We also had the crab red sauce spaghetti. It was amazing as well. The noddle was probably hand-made (we didn’t ask but it tasted “thick”. The “thickness” feeling probably was because of the rough surface that all the sauce could be “gripped” by the noddle itself). The spaghetti was really hot (and we really like it).

In short, I really couldn’t think of much similar experience that I could be such impressed by food. Especially I am not a foodie.

The price was also pretty acceptable considering the quality of the food.

I know lots of people had left their experience but I’m just...

Same as the other low reviews, I don’t understand how they got so many good reviews. Short version: they need a new chef or the current chef needs to be better. The food was not great.

We came here because there were many reviews the place was good but several red flags developed.

First, we arrived at 7pm and there was only one other couple there.

Second, we ordered the bread. They handed it over in a paper bag. They didn’t pour oil for us. They didn’t put it in a basket. They literally just placed it on the table.

Third, we ordered the grilled vegetables. Look at the pictures. It looks like they just touched the grill and then served it.

Fourth, prices are typical tourist prices. I thought this was a local place but was wrong. My friends from Rome gave me a piece of advice: if they charge more than 20 euro for any kind of pasta, it’s a tourist trap or a Michelin Star. This restaurant was not a Michelin Star. For this quality, everything should have been less than 15 euro. Their location, staff, and rent would not justify their prices. I’ve been to places in more expensive areas and they did not charge more than 20...
