First off, this is the loudest place I've eaten other than Tao in NYC, every table was full. Service was pretty good. The space is cool looking with an Italian futurism vibe, bright colors. The cheese plate was wonderful, the charcuterie not so much. Octopus was great, paired nicely with potatoes. Japanese eggplant was grilled, tender and tasty, but I didn't like that it was smothered in sundried tomatoes, skipped 95% of those. Lago is better!
