All I can say is wow! Tried this restaurant tonight and it was amazing. I am not a big seafood eater but all of this blew me away! We had the octopus, empanadas, swordfish, prawn gnocchi and red snapper. All of it was 10/10. The fresh bread with homemade butter was a nice treat. Everything from the atmosphere to the service was amazing. Can’t wait to visit again!
Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Go, you will enjoy it immensely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
