Loved this place. We caught happy hour oysters -$4 ea. the drinks were marvelous. Tuna ceviche was fantastic - very citrusy, but not too light. Octopus was made really nicely, and the pepper/tomato/radish was out of this world. Tortelloni were good. Excellent service - very attentive and friendly. We’ll be back.
I came to have my birthday brunch on Saturday the 21st & wanted to sit at the bar. They had a seat waiting for me and the bartender, Lindsay, greeted me with a warm birthday welcome and a glass of Prosecco. :) To start, the drink with the rum and lemongrass was strong but also perfectly balanced. Really enjoyed that. She made me a gin cocktail, which I also loved and the prosecco was good! Since I was by myself, I ordered the croquettes, the shrimp & their famous french toast. The shrimp?!

The food was delicious. The cocktails could have had more frozen, fruity, or sweeter options. The service was good, but it was February 14th, so it was to be expected that they would be a little busy. Overall, delicious.
