Went there with good friends (they are frequent to this place, this was our first time) We shared the crab cakes, scallops, pork pot stickers, calamari, octopus, and Caesar salad. The crab cakes were the least favorite of the table. Very soft on the cook (no crisp on the outside) and over powered in onion. The bonus.......it's real crab meat. The scallops came on top of a potato cake and red pepper coulis. The scallops themselves had no real seasoning to them, just the butter they were seared in. The potato cake however was freaking delicious! I could eat a plate of just those. The coulis was equally delicious! I can think of many meals I could put that on. The pork pot stickers were fried, not steamed but had the perfect crisp on the bite. The flavor was there but the pork mixture it self was a little dry. The soy sauce mix helps the dryness, so definitely dip them. The calamari had a good hard fry so it stayed crisp. It comes with banana peppers mixed in which helps with seasoning. Gives it a nice zing/zest. The marinara sauce comes warm and is chunky to dip the calamari in. I recommend it. The grilled octopus was fantastic! The hummus and pesto that's it sits on top of is a bit much and in my opinion takes away from the flavor of the octopus. It had a great char and citrus herb flavor. Nice and tender, not dry and chewy like most have experienced (which is why they "don't like" octopus) Lastly......the Caeser salad. It's a plain one (dressing, shredded parmesan, and croutons) when ordered as far as I know, but what made the difference was our server Matt. As we are traditional when it comes to Caesar salad, we asked for the anchovies, shaved parmesan (as well as the shredded), and marinated onions, but held the croutons. He was unsure if it could be done because it hadn't been asked of him before, but he made it happen! I almost forgot desserts! We had the fried banana cheesecake and the beignets. I would never disrespect beignets by ordering the fried dough dusted in powdered sugar they served. Just don't do it. Even the dipping sauces were subpar of their description. The fried banana cheesecake, however, was a nice finish to the meal. Not overly sweet, hot (from the frying), cool and creamy inside, and vanilla bean ice cream on the side. As a side note, I recommend getting Matt as your server. He's very accommodating, personable, attentive, and funny! He made our experience well worth it!

So glad we tried this place out. Our Server George was amazing and welcoming. He took his time to explain some of the dishes and gave us so pointers on his favorites. We started with the Chargrilled Spanish Octopus and the Pan Seared Scallops... Both were so good and I would recommend that you try. Just WOW! For dinner we had the Chilean Sea Bass and the Lobster Roll. The Sea Bass was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth, worth every penny. Come with broccoli risotto, which could use some more flavor. The Lobster Roll come with 2 sandwiches and a side of fries. Personally, I would have preferred it in less bread (just 1 roll) and stuffed better. But other then that tastes good and great serving size. For dessert we had the Pistachio Crème Brulee and it was delicious. Overall very pleased with our experience and we will be returning. Thanks.

Wonderful dinner for my daughter's birthday. 7 people in our party. Our server Matt was awesome! Very attentive and checked on us regularly. For appetizers we had calamari, mussels, crab cakes,and ahi tuna with wonton chips. Grouper, fish and chips, salmon, and New York strip were several of the entrees that we ordered. Everyone was happy with their food. Will definitely be back in the future. Can't wait to try their weekend brunch.

Ordered takeout, which I do not recommend. Was told 20-25 minutes and it took an hour. I was waiting at the bar for 20 minutes after I paid and the bartender didn't seem to care, I had to ask him to go check on it after I'd been sitting there a while with zero mention of what was going on with my order. We got the seared scallops and calamari appetizers, which were underwhelming. The potato cakes were all mush, my scallop was chewy, and don't think it's worth the price for 2 scallops. Calamari was the same, not worth it for their price, forgot to include the sauce, and the breading was soggy. We got the creamy spinach salmon, which was really good and the only saving grace. It was a large piece of salmon, the parsnip puree and sauce were delicious, but the veggies were severely undercooked, you could tell just by piercing it with your fork, and for being called the creamy spinach salmon, there was barely any spinach on it. Overall, we don't plan on going back and wish we would have ordered from somewhere else. Disappointing for the $80 pricetag. Was nicely decorated on the inside and looked like a nice spot for a special occasion, so if you go I just recommend skipping an appetizer because I don't feel like it's worth it, and don't have anything else planned after because it will probably take longer than expected.
