★★★★★via Google“.We ordered a pulpo platter, a shrimp with garlic and a shrimp salad. The salad was the last to come to the table, the greens on the salad were a bit wilted, there were about 4 sautéed shrimp, overcooked and severely mushy, my wife was only able to stomach 1 shrimp. 1 st out of the kitchen was the shrimp with garlic. Oh! The awesome flavors. Truly magnificent flavors. Did I say great garlicky flavours? Little nodules of cooked down garlic chunks and other mystery flavour nodules in the base of the serving dish. Super great flavour. What an absolute disaster that the shrimp were 1) Overcooked, 2) old and mushy, 3) nasty pasty, No, no, no! Kaka shrimp. Clearly they need to find a new shrimp supplier. Now the pulpo. It took too long to come from the kitch1en, 20 mins or so. The texrure on the pulpo was perfect, soft. Gentle, not tough or chewy. The pulpo flavour was good, nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home to mom about. The perfect pulpo with the magnificent shrimp flavours ... what an idea!!! These guys know how to cook¡! I almost want to take good shrimp and ask them to cook the shrimp for me. I know I sound a bit like a loco in love with their shrimp dish ... OK, I am¡! Both.”
