    Great experience. Food generally was great but in some dishes (eg Octopus), the salt was overpowering. Ceviche had too much of lime flavor in it. Service was amazing and loved the decor. Thanks again for a great time

    Duck fried rice was new to us—- delicious! Also ceviche du jour was fabulous with Red Snapper. Service was helpful when it came to the revamped ham service and wine recommendations. Just a terrific night all the way around.

    Wonderful birthday dinner with three delicious plates. Sensible portions and so good. Not sure why people continue to go to the meat palaces when this food is so much better.
