The food was absolutely delicious. I got the squid plate or something with a side dish of fried calamari. The calamari were the best I have ever eaten. They were crunchy outside instead of soft & they were soft inside instead of chewy calamari. It was the best of the best. The portions were very generous. I bought two desserts to go & a juice. The price really surprised me in the end. I realized that the two dessert & juice were more than $30!? If I had known that the juice was an obscene $10 for a tiny bottle I never would have gotten it it's not even alcohol & I'm pretty sure I paid less for alcohol in a bar. It can be inexpensive if you buy a wrap & it's a very fancy place that I went to for my birthday alone sadly. The plates for a group are probably a super good deal. But the side dishes were too expensive to get a little bit of everything but thankfully the plate came with a salad & a lot of cute little things like potatoes. But I am appalled that they will charge $10 for a tiny juice. & honestly the cakes should be less expensive too. The employees were super kind, kindest woman server ever who went beyond anything I've ever seen. The atmosphere was calm. It felt fancy but even the fanciest place shouldn't charge $10 for that juice. The cost of a juice & two desserts was more than a massive plate of food. I'm going to have to eat the calamari again that is crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside but I don't think I should buy drinks & dessert there. I should buy more calamari instead the side dish of calamari was like $15 & the juice was $10 that's not comparable by 1$. Save your money for the calamari & drink water or something. If I am known I would have ordered more calamari to grow instead of that juice. I have never tasted something like this so I guess it was an experience but the taste was so strong that I would not want to drink it again. But that calamarie was amazing more than the plate of squid (or octopus?) I got. To be honest the sauce was too much like a salad dressing with vinegar, I had an upset stomach that day so I was not prepared for that but it paired wonderfully with the salad & it's dressing & the mustard sauce on the potato was really surprising & delicious. So some items feel overpriced but that calamari was absolutely amazing. But it's not something that I could afford every week. I think a side dish of calamari is cheaper than that, but that one was definitely worth its price like Divine calamari. But I see absolutely no reason to charge $10 for a drink I'm pretty sure even a beer or wine is cheaper I kinda feel cheated. I would have to be careful if I go back not to order too many extra because the price go up very fast but the main dish was definitely worth the price & absolutely awesome. I wish the desserts were cheaper too, I guess they charge more than in cake shops, because you're supposed to eat them in the restaurant & you pay for the ambiance, but since I'm taking them to go they feel expensive. I understand why I have to pay more for a superior calamari but I don't understand why I also have to pay more for the juice. It's true that it was a fancy rare juice, & I don't know how the charge for the Oasis orange juice but if it's also $10 I am outraged. But I cannot be angry at them because they were the nicest people in the nicest ambiance with the nicest food but the price was not worth it for the juice & would only have been worth it if the cakes were homemade & not coming in a box from a company. But I'm happy that I paid the price I paid for the meal I had, & it could have been much cheaper if I was not buying so many extras. I always carry a bottle of water with me so I can use my money to buy food instead & I feel like that restaurant proves my point. I wish I had more of the calamary instead of that juice but I guess it's my own decision but the price was not in the menu? I have never seen a juice that expensive in my entire life, but I have also never tasted calamari this good so I guess the universe balances itself out.
