After reading about this place I knew I had to at least try it out. First things first - is it cheap - nope. Do you get big portion - nope. It's tapas style restaurant on Avenue....so "figure" it out yourselves.
The front of the restaurant is where the hostesses are - it's covered in comic book wallpaper and have action figures on shelves. You go in through the "hidden" door that the hostess opens up for you by hitting the shield.
Inside is more lounge like than restaurant. The wall art is amazing - apparently the gu that was commissioned to do it is colour blind. IT's quite impressive. Look up at the ceiling - you'll find some interesting old school art there as well. The food menu is broken down into 3 sections - veggies (from the Earth); seafood (from the Ocean) and meat (from the Land).
Our group ordered several items:
- octopus salad (so good);
- oxtail with plantain chops - delicious that we ordered it twice
- the lamb shank - nice and tender, not too gamey
- beet salad - while good you only get 3 thinly sliced beets - I would pass on this
- the pasta - nice and creamy
- the eggplant dish - wasn't a big fan of this one - save your $$$ for the seafood/meat options
Because we were running late for another event we didn't have time for dessert. The cocktails were delicious - Diablo Blank and I had the Bramble Bee.
I'd come here for a drink and a bite to eat and a dessert. if you are hungry hungry I wouldn't come here and expect to be full (unless of course you don't care about $$$$).
I'll definitely come back again! They bring your bill along with a comic book (that you get to keep)!
