We ordered the grilled octopus with potatoes cooked in olive oil. The side of the octopus was tremendous and mm mm tender. It really was cooked to perfection. Also, we had the fried shrimp in olive oil and garlic. For about 12 Euros, it must have been about 15 medium size shrimps. That was another home run. My son got the mustard steak which judging by other people's reviews, they were mainly positive. Yes the sauce drenches over the entire piece of grilled steak but it was not overpowering at all and complimented the protein well. All in all, great service and seems like a hole in the wall. Hey, that's the fun of it, right? For this place, I would definitely recommend.

They had a decent number of seafood and meat options, and I decided to go with the octopus. The portion of the octopus was fairly substantial, especially compared to what you'd get in the US. I thought the potatoes and veggies on the side were relatively standard. Just note that they're cash only, so be sure you're prepared!
