| - I had the 'octopus a la plancha' and the 'shrimp and grits'. The food was just okayish/good, but felt like we didn't really get what we paid for.
Octopus a la plancha:
I felt like I could have spent my money on something better, the octopus meal was 26$ and the portion was pretty small. I dont think it was really worth getting, but the last time I had octopus, it was amazing so I thought I'd give that a try. The presentation was nice, the octopus tasted okay, soft and tender, I also thought there was quite a bit of black beans, but overall the taste was just okay.
Shrimp and grits:
I thought it was just okay. I thought the breading outside was kinda dry tasting which I'm guessing is because it was baked and my taste buds just weren't too fond of that. My friend and I both agreed, there was barely any shrimp in them, and we tasted mostly the grits. Again not really worth it as we were both really looking forward to the 'shrimp' part of it, it was a bit disappointing. We used the promo on yelp for the free snack.
These two menu items sounded appealing, but I believe the portioning could have been better for the price people pay. Compared to the pit platter, which is $30 people can get way more than the 26$ very small sized Octopus. I know they are more popular for the pit platter, so I hope to try that on my next visit, but I do hope they improve the 'Octopus a la plancha' and the 'Shrimp and grits'
