Seven of us had dinner at El Grill last night and I have to say I was underwhelmed. The pasta dishes, while loaded with Shrimp or other seafoods were good but the sauces were a bit gummy. I had the special combo of octopus, fish, ( seabass), and shrimp. All were fresh but that is just expected and while the octopus and shrimp were cooked perfectly, (fish was overdone), and the portions were small, especially the Octopus, with very little flavor. I had to season with olive oil, salt, and pepper just to give it some flavor, as it was very bland. The Greek salads were excellent and the warm potato salad was the hit of the night.
