I tried this place when it first opened and wasn't impressed. I've recently heard a ton of hype around it again so wanted to give it another try. We got the dip trio, 8 hour lamb shank, and the ribeye. The dips were delicious! However both entrees didn't impress and were very under seasoned. $30 for a steak that didn't have much flavor was a huge disappointment. I'll be back but only for an app or two and will stay away from the pricier items

Food was good but my friend has an intolerance to gluten and there weren't many options for her.
A new spot that we’ve been trying to go here since it opened. Very “Octo” themed and has the decor to go with it. It has a nice bar downstairs with tables in the back. Walk upstairs and you’ll find a quaint room with more tables and a very nice separate bar for private parties or as an additional bar. Everything we tasted was great and the presentation was a delight to the eyes. You have to try the octopus ceviche and the ostrich tartar. The drinks were very tasty as well and everything was adequately priced. We’re going to add this spot to our dinner outing rotation and bring our supper club members. Definitely the best spot we’ve been to in the past year.

Great food, great service! Four of us had a great meal...we shared 6 tapas, 2 desserts and 3 mocktails, worked out to only $26 each for a filling and really fun cornecopia of food. It was definitely worth it, I plan to go back

Quite the international bar/tapas. The menu changes on occasion with welcomed food. The newest addition, ostrich tatar should be a wild success! Drinks come with haste and ease. The wild margarita varieties makes this bar a fun vibe to wind down after a long workday/week. Bartenders are welcoming and fast and will make sure you feel comfortable. Great bar to come to in Fed!

Unfortunately visited for restaurant week which may have contributed to my poor experience here. First, kudos to the single bartender that waited on the entire room on Sunday night- he was attentive however clueless. Only the pre fix menu was available, which was a little disappointing since I wanted to try certain dishes on their regular menu. We ended up getting the lamb kebab and chicken kebab. The lamb was a little tasty- but the chicken was dry and the couscous watery and tasteless. Next, I had ordered the lamb shank, but was confused when I was brought a few shredded pieces of lamb over orzo. I tried a bite anyway- did not taste like anything. I questioned if this was the correct dish - where was the shank? The shallow dish was also 5 bites at best. The bar back said he wasn't sure and would get the waiter. The waiter said he wasn't familiar with the food (what?). I actually sent it back in exchange for the burger which was better but certainly not what I had planned to pay $35 for RW. Lastly, we finished up with the chocolate cake and homemade churros. There's no doubt that cake came from a grocery store package and the churros were definitely homemade since one was very crispy and the other was still raw in the middle. Aside from the food, the margarita bar concept is cool and they were tasty. The bartender didn't end up honoring the happy hour prices, but this was rectified by management later.
Get the ginger martini! Best one I’ve ever had. Food is great too!

The food, ambience and service is a 10 out of 10! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. Delicious high quality plates along with an excellent selection of drinks! We were there for the taco Tuesday special. It was by far the best taco's I have ever had! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Best Carnitas Tacos! Been to a lot of restos, this is far the best one! You can tell that the tortilla is fresh! And the octo cheviche! Is the bomb'!! Margaritas are also well blend, i came in on a Tuesday and the bartender is working alone and he did an amazing job covering pretty much everyone.

This is possibly the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to in Baltimore.We went during restaurant week and got the pre fixed menu; I got the lamb kebab, chicken piccata and the churros while my fiancé got the tortellini, the bison burger and the chocolate cake. Most of the food did not have much seasoning and the bison burger and lamb kebabs tasted exactly the same.Later both my piccata and churros were cold when brought to the table and I had the piccata remade (I gave up on the churros when they came out cold). The piccata was bland and the chicken was rubbery.Our server was nice and did what she could, but they over seated her and she had a huge section almost all sat at once.Would not recommend, the whole organization in the restaurant is a mess. This place belongs on Bar Rescue, but the drinks were good.

My fiancé and I came here for a date night/early anniversary during restaurant week.I ordered an espresso martini which was ok. For the first course I got the tortellini pasta which was lackluster and skimped on flavor. For the main course, I got the bison burger which also heavily lacked any flavor. The chocolate cake for the third course tasted like boxed cake.I tried bits and pieces of my fiancé’s meal as well; he got the lamb kabobs (little seasoning) with mashed potatoes (no seasoning other than butter), the chicken pasta which was very clearly pre frozen chicken cutlets and no seasoning to the pasta, and his churros where soggy and cold and I highly doubt they were even recently fried.I don’t think we’ll be back; the best part of the meal were the fries and the old fashioned which helped to forget the bad food I was consuming. Art was cool though.
