Hands down the best restaurant in the Durham-Raleigh area. I love it!!
The octopus was amazing! Sliced paper thin on a bed of the most delicious sauce with some fresh crisp fennel slices. Simply sublime. Also worth mentioning was the special - a pork shank slow roasted so it fell off the bone on a bed of Parmesan risotto. Magnificent!
Jonathan was an excellent bartender and server for us and the food was excellent as always!
