    We enjoyed our meal and especially the grilled octopus! The flavor was outstanding! The cocktail portions were in smaller glasses although mixed well. The ribeye was flavorful and served with three sauces. The side avocado, tomato and cucumber salad was delicious! The waiter was attentive and polite and service was timely. I would dine here again.
