The octopus was lovely but a bit chewy. Some people like that so I can still understand the hype for the most part, but it could have been a bit more tender. The flavor profile of all the dishes was intriguing, though although some garnishes (like the one on the ceviche) didn't add to the dish. And the cocktails were fantastic, especially if you enjoy bitters. The noise level was crazy, though. Maybe they could consider adding some curtains, carpets or some other padding to absorb the volume; at one point we were screaming at each other from across a small table just to be heard. Overall, a nice experience with good food and drink. A solid 3.5. Where they lost points: noise level, food was good but not mind-blowing, seemed like minimal effort was put into decorating, and the neighborhood (although not something the restaurant can do much about) is really deteriorating.
