We made reservations for a table of 7 on Saturday. Oddly, they wouldn't let us reserve for 8 but 7 was ok. When I got there, I understood a bit better since a lot of tables are really small (tables of 2). The design inside is nice and I liked the ambiance.
To start, I tried the mahi mahi (raw) which was really good. It was in some emulsion and there were bits of crunchy nuts in it. The flavours were really good, not to mention the gorgeous presentation.
I also tried the crispy squid which was tasty. The tout ceviche was also presented really nice and taste was good but I think the mahi mahi is better. We also tried the duck breast with corn tamal. The duck was really tender, but this dish was a bit lacking in presentation and the corn tamal didn't do much for me.
Lastly, I had the squid ink risotto with octopus. I felt like the squid ink was too much, or they added food colouring because it was so much blacker than other times I have had this dish elsewhere. The squid ink doesn't really have much of a taste either. The octopus was cooked perfectly, tender with crispy edges. Though my friend got the same dish and she had the thicker pieces of octopus and she said it was very chewy and she could barely bite through it.
Overall, the food was good and the presentation impressed me. read more
