| - Mmmm came here for appetizers with my company on a Thursday night. Given its fairly steep price point, I would be unlikely to come to this place and order alone. However, since we were a fairly large group, we were able to order a bunch of different small plates to share!
I had to leave early, so there was only a limited amount that I was able to sample. I tried the following:
Grilled Octopus Salad:
This perfectly charred octopus came beautifully presented on a bed of kale, with some sort of tangy red dressing and chickpeas. The combination worked very well! The kale was very flavourful, albeit difficult to eat due to its larger size. My main complaint is that the octopus was a very small portion for its price point of $19.
Soft Shell Crab:
This was their special of the night, where an entire fried soft shell crab came on some lettuce. To be honest, the soft shell crab wasn't the most amazing that I've had, but it was quite flavourful and delicious. I would have preferred it crispier; the skin was a little too soft, limp, and wet.
We also ordered other dishes such as the fried smelts, shrimp sliders, and KFC ssam, but alas... I had to leave before I could taste it all!
I'd give this place a slightly higher rating, but I did find the service to be lacking. They're not great for large groups, as it took the server a long while to take care of us. For instance, it took them quite a long time to get an extra set of utensils, place our drink orders, etc. Come here if you're a smaller group, as the setting is quite intimate!
