Great BYOB spot for a nice dinner. The food was fantastic and based on the menu I don’t think you can really go wrong picking anything. They have indoor seating and an outdoor patio.

First time there and it was a wonderful experience. Great food, service and atmosphere. I generally like restaurants with small menus. They know what they like to do and they do it right. Plus it’s fresh. The salmon entree and octopus app were so good. Layers of flavor. Big plus for me is it’s a BYOB.
