   Shared a mussels small plate and a pork belly large plate, followed by Basque cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious; IMO the menu descriptions didn't do the dishes justice. Also the table sharing may not be for everyone.

   This was our first time in this restaurant and I must say that we were not impressed. Its extremely overrated . The dish I had was the worst meal I ever tried. And I am talking about the plain fish nothing fancy. It was so salty and impossible to eat because the amount of salt used.I digged up few pieces from inside that were somewhat consumable . I told the waitress , she apologized , thanked me for the feedback, and charged me for it anyway. On the other hand my family was ok with what they had so I hope that my dish was an isolated incident and wont happen again to other guests. Either way we wont be back nor recommend this restaurant to anyone. For the prices they charge this incidents should not be happening period

   Love love love this place and our waiter was fantastic but the gal who cleared our desert took it away without asking if we were finished ..... ummm - which we weren't. Not big deal - just feedback as we were not done and it was cleared (again) without the question even being asked. Thank you!

    Food was good. My date and I shared three small plates: prawns, calamari, and the salted cob dip with bread. Then for the entree, the whole fish (branzino). The branzino was excellent. What I can say is that the ambience was very off. They have community tables and the server sat us with a group of 4 of people that were not apart of our party. The restaurant is fairly small and It was extremely loud with the music and everyone talking. Then to top it off, our waiter was very awkward and unwelcoming. Overall i give the experience 3 stars.
