Great experience; A+. The atmosphere was a bit cozy for me, and not too private, but that's my personal opinion. Our server was fantastic; he was polite, friendly, made GREAT food/drink suggestions, and our glasses were never empty. The food was incredible. We really enjoyed the variety of options and quality of the ingredients! - I think our favourite was the octopus. Hats off to the management, front of house staff, and kitchen! We WILL be back, and will recommend the restaurant to friends.
