Impromptu date night with my husband. Every single thing we had was delicious. The tasting menu abd Scallops were all amazing. Definitely a hipster vibe so kind of casual but with very well crafted food. Will be back.

Creative menu with something for everyone. Two of us had the omelette of the day; absolutely delicious with perfect seasoning! Another tried the carmelized octopus and will return for that dish, another find on the menu. Our server was top notch! We definitely will return.

A little east side gem. Somewhat limited wine list but some excellent selections on it. Very creative menu. We split selections from appetizer, small plate, main course and desert. Octopus appetizer was a real treat. Other selections were creatively spiced and served. Great place. Great value.
