Awesome place! It is my first time here and the great food did not disappoint! I love the octopus and the pretty cocktails too. Of course the ambiance is perfect with the very scenic view of the ocean. It is a perfect spot for happy hour and after office hours dinner. What an ideal chill and hang out spot at the Pier! :)
