    This is something special. Try the cactus appetizer and you will no longer think of a cactus as such a prick.

    Grilled octopus is out of this world - topped with truffle oil. Omg! Duck tacos are great.

    They're trying hard to make everything unique but it's not there yet. It needs to be refined. You can't just pour sweet chilli sauce over brussel sprouts. And their wine wasn't good.
