    We had the Valentines Day prix fixe six course dinner. It was awesome, and the options even worked for my vegetarian wife. The dishes are mostly traditional Mediterranean fare, but prepared with fresh high quality ingredients, and with subtle cooking skills. It’s hard to describe it beyond that. Service was excellent from the servers to the bussers.

    Octopus: delicious. No complaints. Perhaps I was hoping for a bigger portion but good regardless. The squid ink pasta: interestingly flavored a little spicy. Not very strong in tomato flavor as I would expect. Tasted more like the north western cuisine of china. Duck confit: so creamy, buttery and tender. Must try. Outside patio is very cute and romantic. The establishment is smaller than I expected but very cute. Service: on time and caring.
