I don't usually write reviews, but in this case I feel ripped off. I ordered a grilled octopus and got a different dish. I asked the waiter: "Is this octopus?" He said "yes". I was sure it wasn't octopus, so I asked a different waiter: "What fish is this?" They said "cod". The first waiter then said he misunderstood my order.

We tried to get service so, finally we got up and walked up to the bar to pay for starter and leave. Suddenly, the food materialized and we were forced to pay even though we didn’t want it anymore.
