Nicely furnished, with a good menu including Tapas. The service was superb. We found the noise level too loud however management responded when we requested a lower level of music.

The place was perfect for my first evening back in the city. I got the octopus which was perfectly cooked, the grilled seasonal vegetables, and the mushrooms. Everything was so good - the food was delicious and well portioned. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The entire experience was ideal. If I could afford to eat there every day I would. I will definitely be back.
