Great atmosphere; lively, warm, comfortable, casual but upscale enough. Not snobby. Cheese plate was okayyyy: the cheddar had a not-so-great aftertaste butthe other two were great. Cocktails were well-made and wine selection was solid. Our waiter was a little inattentive but had excellent recommendations and clearly knew his food-and-drink. Cauliflower app was a little disappointing (bready and not as scrumptuous as I was hoping for). Octopus was very tasty: a little spicy for my personal taste but very flavourful and perfectly cooked. Finally, the braised shortribs were absolutely delicious. The portion was very generous, and we could not stop eating this. The cheesy/creamy potatoes and gravy and root vegetables were perfectly paired with the meat. An absolute must. Overall a very successful evening and will definitely return.
