We decided on our first night, we would give this place a try. What a gem!!! The flavors of their food is so scrumptious. They had spicy clam on their specials. My parents and I, always look for a clam dish to try at each of the locations we visit that have clam on their menu. It was without a doubt the best clam dish we have ever tasted. We love the tapas style of dining. It's a small restaurant and we were lucky to be seated as soon as we walked in and it filled up quickly. Thoroughly recommend giving this place a go.

This visit we enjoyed the cheese and charcuterie board with its 4 meats, 4 cheeses, tapenade, and various nuts. It was fantastic and enough for two. We also tried the fried chicken skewers with the spicy mayo dip. These were a flavor explosion. If you like a little spice with your cocktail, try their margarita with the chopped chili pepper. The heat was perfect. But the cocktail to be topped is the mezquito which is like a mojito, but made with the smoky richness of mezcal. It was amazing! Ryan and the staff at the restaurant made our visit enjoyable and we look forward to our next trip. These two foodies will definitely be back!

Had a bunch of appetizers, 3 dips with Naan (Hummus, Edamame/Ava ado, and a third sauce which I forget what was in it), had 4 Oysters with a Maple Rye Mingonette, and then had the Red Devil Humboldt Calamari... All 3 appetizers were out of this world good! Some of the best Calamari I've ever had, the Oysters were unreal, perfect balance of flavour, and the dips were awesome. Could use a bit more Naan for the dips, but all in all, my wife and I had an absolutely stellar experience. I highly recommend trying this place! Thank you!
