Order the Octopus!
The octopus was prepared and plated in the most wonderful way. The tender pieces of octopus combined with shishito peppers, vinaigrette, and roasted potatoes were plated on a plate painted with pureed black garlic, then topped with fresh herbs. The presentation was perfection.
Craft Cocktails

Don't Forget Dessert!
The chocolate brownie was an excellent ending to the meal. Warm chocolate sauce and Cracker Jacks topped a delicious scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a large fudge brownie.
