Service was decent but the waiter missed a few items we had ordered.
Starter Clams were under-seasoned and portion was very small. Plate had like 10 clams.
Seafood Rice was overpriced and again, under-seasoned. Consensus was that it needed more seafood, salt and pepper.
Octopus was good, but it came with only two potatoes and a sample of spinach.
Fries were great though.
Overall, portions small, overpriced and most dishes were underseasoned

Close a half hour early? Consistent hours are key.
Food was vey disappointing. The octopus was the only enjoyable food. The Pao cheese bread is actually better at Trader Joe's. The filet mignon was so tough that there were several pieces we couldn't chew or cut with a knife. The seafood rice was terrible. The rice was so overcooked that it was like porridge. There were a few clams but literally could not find one whole shrimp or one whole scallop in the entire dish. There were small chopped up pieces of some kind of seafood but it was so small we couldn't even tell what it was. Hard to believe this has a Michelin bib gourmand rating.

Service was nice, we didn't have to ask for more water a bunch of times which is always a big plus for me. The place is clean and fairly cozy. Appetizers and entrees were decent but nothing amazing, and the soup was completely bland. All in all the food is just too pricey for what you get.

Speakeasy style bar at night. Old fashioned was on point. Very friendly staff. Even the bouncer was very professional and respectful. A great place for a nightout to catch up with friends and etc.
We had a reservation and they seated us quickly. Excellent drinks and the ribeye steak was amazing. Loved the decor
