    Quaint atmosphere with relatively attentive staff. Beautiful decor throughout with speakeasy vibes. Adequate privacy and seating to enjoy conversation. And delicious appetizers and meals that are worth the price. Best octopus I have ever tasted! Great location for a celebratory and fancy night out.

    There were fruit flies flying all over the food we had to swat them to make sure they didn’t land. There was a mouse that ran across the floor after we were done eating. If it had ran out earlier we would have left
