Disappointing experience—poor presentation, overpriced for the quality, and small portions stuffed with French fries. Not worth it.

We really liked the new menu, our food and the service was great. What was a bummer and put a damper on the evening is that every time someone came in- the cold air came rushing in and made it all the way to our table. Also, people kept using the exit door behind the host station so we got an even more direct hit every time someone left that way. Staff could have at least asked folks to use the main door where they could have also utilized the enclosure to avoid this very problem.

I don't know about the new menu setup. The food was spotty - some was good and some was disappointing, particularly for the cost. I might give them one more chance.

The new small plates menu is horrible. They got rid of a menu that was decent and now have small plates which are not good and are expensive. Even the hamburger was small and unappealing and fries just thrown on the plate. The service was terrible with 3 different servers in 1:45 min. The drinks took forever. Honestly there was nothing good.

Pasta and salad were great. Octopus toppings were good but the octopus was very chewy, not made well. It did not ruin the experience by any means, the other food we ordered was delicious and the drinks were great.
