| - My boyfriend brought me here for dinner on Valentine's Day. From the moment we walked in, I sensed something was off. We were seated quickly as the restaurant was about 1/3 full at 6pm. After a quick glance at the appetizer section of the one page V-day menu, we both knew we had to order the grilled octopus, $18.
A long 20 minutes later, a very unimpressive plate of cut up "grilled octopus" was brought out before us. It was cold. The chefs excuse that was relayed to the server: "it's supposed to be an octopus salad". Nope. The menu said "grilled octopus", that's it. So she took it away and came back 5 minutes later with the same dish, but warmed up. It was rubbery, it was luke warm, and it was horrendous. We put it aside and didn't take another bite.
At this point we had already ordered our main: the lobster and steak sampler platter for two. I was also sipping on a glass of wine while we waited and waited, and continued to be ignored by our server who didn't take the courtesy to come back and ask about our uneaten appetizer. About 40 minutes later and no sign of our meal, my boyfriend and I paid and left.
We were terribly disappointed with this experience and now had the daunting task of finding somewhere to eat at 7:30 on Valentine's Day. Thankfully, we had a happy ending elsewhere.
Maybe the original location is better? Maybe it was just a bad night for this place? Most of my restaurant reviews are positive, but I couldn't stay quiet about this. I hope you have a better experience.
