    First time coming and service was top notch. Since it was Valentine’s Day, they handed a courtesy glass of champagne and a single rose. Service was great. Tomahawk was very tender but could if had a little more seasoning. Cesar Salad was AMAZING. Creamed spinach was good. Calamari needed a sauce, I settled for ranch but would try crab cake the next time. Overall, enjoyed the night, the service, and would return.

    Octopus: delicious. No complaints. Perhaps I was hoping for a bigger portion but good regardless. The squid ink pasta: interestingly flavored a little spicy. Not very strong in tomato flavor as I would expect. Tasted more like the north western cuisine of china. Duck confit: so creamy, buttery and tender. Must try. Outside patio is very cute and romantic. The establishment is smaller than I expected but very cute. Service: on time and caring.
