    Octopus

    Had the octopus appetizer while waiting to see what my wife felt like eating for dinner. It was amazing and paired so well with the beans and tomatoes. Worth visiting for this alone.

    Good location, good atmosphere, terrible service and food

    Over busy, understaffed and poor quality food that's not cheap. The burgers looked OK, if that's the limit of your range. The talent-less over-loud live music did not help the unpleasant experience of trying to eat at this restaurant.

    Yes, there is outdoor seating. No need to dress fancy. Casual dress is appropriate. If you are going for dinner I do not recommend short for men.
