My Son and I ate here for a late lunch. I had come once before right after they first opened and was underwhelmed. Since then, I have heard and seen some good things. We came for the oysters and to explore different options in Little Italy. Greeting and seating was quick, then it took awhile to see anyone again. They seemed to be short staffed, so we were patient. Cocktails where $15-$18 but were watered down tasting so we only had one. The menu is really exciting to read through, but it is REALLY expensive for what you get. (one small order of roasted corn bowl was $17) it tasted really good, but it was 1 ear of corn. All of the items we order were very small. The pulpo carpaccio was amazing, but again really pricey for the serving size. Our lunch for 2 people, 2 cocktails, 2 dozen oysters (which were really good!) 1 soft shell crab taco, pulpo appetizer, corn appetizer, tuna appetizer was $230. I think that's robbery no matter how good the small bites were. Thats as much as a decent dinner for 2. I would not go back again based on the expense and ALL of San Diego's other amazing food options. Also, I used the restroom while there and it was dirty, trash on the floor, out of paper towels and mosquitos in the toilet.

We sat at an outside table so I can't comment on what it would be like sitting inside. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we were there. We had not realized that the restaurant did not have a liquor license so we were initially disappointed about that. The menu had a good variety of crudo to choose from and our server was helpful in answering our questions. Everything we ordered was very good.
