Def will return.

Pretty hippy. Clean decor. The huge paintings are arty and striking. A pleasant atmosphere.

Service is just right.

Food is awesome and large portion
– curry mussels
– fish cake
– meatballs

The mussels are tender. Oddly a handful of them didn’t open. I asked them just heat it up a bit … they came back in a pretty bowl. Ya I wanted to steal it … ha ha ha … but consider the consequence when I return …

We went before 5 for the Rays game. They only serve small plates, which is just fine. But even the small plates are huge – we could only have three, and filled us to the brim – leaves me no room for the junk food at the baseball game.

The bathroom water is very thin. Takes a long time to wash my hands.

Street parking is easy when we went.

The bar tender’s shirt fits the decor perfectly. He said it isn’t the uniform.

High ceiling; inviting decor; good foods; slow service; the surrounding area has character – with a few preserved buildings (I hope).

We’ve flaming cheese – gimmicky – turned hard quickly; stuffed mushrooms; octopus 🐙 (the garlic on top is the 🍒); 🍤 with breads. I think the yummiest is their freebie – hot flatbread with garlic dip.

The Greek red is on the raw side.

The area is worth a walk around.
