    Exceptional food and ambiance. But expect a small portion, it is not those standard American explode-your-belly portion. Ingredients are really fresh and full of taste, chef seems to know how to use herbs from all across the globe. Wondering why they do not get Michelin-1 star, food is that good.

    Great repeat visit at a favorite spot. Our highlights always: the eggplant, the red snapper and the octopus. Service is consistently great and prices reasonable for this type of restaurant. Will repeat

    We love the fried red snapper. Were thinking about it all week and then we find out that it is fried alongside shrimp which we do not have. Please make sure that they do not use the same oil.
