JaimeJaime: I ordered three apps instead of a main: spinach falafel, grilled octopus, braised beef. They were all great, with the octopus a standout.

Senator John B.Senator John Blutarski: Eat: whipped feta, falafel, grilled octopus; literally everything is delicious, just choose a creature you feel like eating and believe in everything else from there. Rosé Rioja doesn't suck either.

Justin H.Justin Holland: Grilled Octopus a must, whipped feta great for sharing. Salmon and halibut both fantastic
