Never order the octopus - unless you like a Michelin tire consistency of chewy texture - Ghosh - how can you serve that? Very disappointing! I understand that getting a sooft and crisp octopus is a delicate endeavor and requires skills in the kitchen - so - if you don’t have that skillset - get the dish off the menu !
It was a really enjoyable experience. We went there for a late dinner, and the staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming. Located on the first floor of a hotel, the restaurant gives off a vibe reminiscent of checking into a nice hotel. The space was pleasantly quiet and cozy with warm table lighting, which appreciated the most.

I highly recommend trying the grilled octopus—it was my favorite. The delicious aroma of butter, paired with sautéed vegetables...
Food was pretty solid and atmosphere was great! The chicken was in a bed of oil which was nice at first but quickly became greasy and made the dish unfinishable. Steak was great portion! Just wished there were more of lighter vegetables to complement the heavier dish. Crab pasta was a generous portion and delicious!
