Juan was amazing; Jeffery was also perfectly on point! Loved speaking with Mario, the Maitre de❣️ Can’t recommend this better; in fact, we just ate there again tonight. Saganika is perfect, sweetbread was all I could hope for! Asked for the octopus to be crispy grilled and it was amazing. Brazino and prawns were delicious! Argula salad with seared figs (I substituted feta for goat cheese) and the endive and feta was fabulous! Wish we lived closer or we would visit at least once a week‼️
