Nicely decorated & well-kept restaurant. I would love to give this place a high review because the food was very good, however we waited Over ONE hour for one grilled octopus entrée (did not like the generic bean salad, would heave preferred more octopus!), a soup for our youngest child (should have been brought asap), spicy grilled chicken was excellent, pork chops (tough & cold, seemed they were ready a while ago), $21.95 for half a rack of measly, dry ribs (too much salad on the plate as filler), my dish was very good, grilled cod with greens & veggies at $26, a little steep, but the healthiest of our orders, however rather salty (must hVe been salted cod, personally I grill my cod fresh). If it weren't for the extremely long wait (the place was not even close to being full!), the pork chops & ribs may have been better... & don't sit near the kitchen I wreaked of smoke & my eyes were tearing the whole time... Went on sept. 27, 2014
