Pam R.: Octopus is good and a nice portion size. Needs some lemon or spice added though. Greek salad is great but only when tomatoes are in season.
Lika Severin: amazing oysters, One of the freshest and flavoured we had. Grilled octopus is by far the best appetizer. Crab cakes are tender and of superb quality.
Chris Erickson: Seafood. Salmon. Octopus.
