If you are looking to catch some great Mediterranean seafood, we have found a spot for you.
Located on the very trendy restaurant area on Bell Blvd in Queens, this restaurant big attraction is fresh seafood with big flavors.
We started with the daily special which consisted of grilled octopus, shrimp and calamari. The pieces were perfectly grilled and tender. This was my first time tasting grilled octopus and I was very surprised by the excellent texture and flavor.
The grilled Chilean sea bass had a very delightful buttery and sweet taste with a nice crispy crust. Scallops was served with a very generous portion (about 13), were well seared in a nice herb infused buttery sauce.
Lastly, if you are looking for some entertainment, they have a very popular flaming salt encrusted fish. When it arrives this fish is literally on fire. These impressively large flaming dishes were extinguished table side with lemon juice and cracked open with a hammer to expose the steaming fish baked inside.
