Antonio was very welcoming and was a perfect host. I had a blue Ribeye and my wife the grilled octopus - both delicious. Many thanks and we'll be back soon! ☺️

Spectacular meal! My husband got the steak of the day which came with fries and a salad. He pushed away the salad and ate every last bite of the steak and fries and said it was incredibly delicious. Then reluctantly went to the salad and said ‘wow, even the salad is exceptional!’. It had red beet carpaccio and pomegranate seeds. Looked lovely. He rarely touches salads but finished this one : ) I had the rice with seafood for two which was enough for three. Wow! Just wow! The fresh herbs and light broth with large pieces of crab, shrimp and mussels made it so special. Just don’t wear a white blouse as the broth can splash a bit when cutting into the crab claws. Highly recommend! Would definitely dine there again. Our server, Antonio, was very kind and helpful.

A wonderful evening with a tentative but unintrusive service. The menu was wonderful and the wine list comparable. We had a wonderful evening and would certainly recommend this restaurant.
