We’ve been here before and after they converted to tapas style and both times, the food was excellent. We got the recommended 2 to 3 plates per person. While it is pricey for the quantity of food, the quality is well maintained and we loved each one. We ordered the ceviche as a starter and it is one of the best done ceviche that
I’ve had in Cincinnati. The other fishes including the halibut and trout were also really well done with a perfect balance of tenderness, umami, acidity and overall appearance. Service was also excellent and our waitress gave great recommendations. I also like the decor of the place as well.
There are some reviews about the noise. We went a Saturday night and it is the same level of noise as you would expect for other bustling restaurants. I could hear my friends well and had no issues.
Strongly recommend!

How could one give anything but 5 stars. Service 5 stars with the amazing Jessica and Steven. The crab pot to die for. The lobster pasta do Nero was even better.

Visited on a Tuesday night for a friend’s birthday.
Upon arrival we were greeted by staff who held the door and welcomed us, and since we had a reservation were led promptly to our table. We ordered a variety of cocktails which were all excellent.
Our first course was $1 oysters, and I was a little suspect as many places who offer $1 oysters are clearing stock on the last day before their new shipment. While I don’t know if this was the case or not, I was surprised to learn they had two different types of oysters (which our waiter described in detail including differences in size and minerality). And I’m not kidding when I say they were some of the freshest oysters I’ve had, even including coastal restaurants.
After oysters we ordered the Stuffed Squid and Swordfish Meatballs, which were both fantastic (see photo).
Highly recommend this gem of a place!

I have few photos because I was too busy enjoying the small plates of fantastic food. Nothing ho-hum about their selection or preparation. It’s not just seafood.

Love this place! I went for the first time a couple days ago and love’d it! The staff is more than friendly and the food is amazing! We had a platter with all the fresh sea food on it to share between 4 people, we probably ate it in about 5 minutes, it was that good! The win selection is not the biggest, but it is the greatest! I can’t recall what we had but it was a white wine suggested by our server. It was more than perfect!! I highly recommend if you’re in the Cincinnati area and you’re looking for a top quality seafood restaurant! Thank you!

So I will say we had the oysters and they were good. We had the crab legs and delicious. The thing that bugged us was just the atmosphere and the overall amount of plates available. Let me explain. The building is older, nice decor and would seem to give off a vibe of quint, intimate or romantic. The plates are small, so you have to buy 3 or 4 to be fed. The idea is to share food, to give off that more intimate touch. The problem was the place was very loud and the selection extremely limited. I spent well over 60 dollars on food for two on three plates and we were still hungry at the end. The service was decent though and the food was brought quickly. Honestly if the noise level came down and they added a few more smaller plates to choose it would be a nice date plate. But overall it was a good experience and my girlfriend enjoyed it.

First impression was great! Very clean, modern appearance and professional staff. Plenty of seating for small groups!
The menu is quite the mixture of fusion with seafood. A few items seems interesting and some far-fetch. We ended up ordering oysters with a delicious pickled melon sauce. I would order that again!
Overall, great venue for oysters! Interesting food concept! Maybe I’ll try it some day!

It started out great. Bartenders very attentive, great cocktails. Initially, service was great. Raw bar yummy, then it fell apart….twenty-five minutes for the second course and no service. Another 30 minutes, no service and our main course…up till then the food was good…chose the daily special, risotto with crab meat….could not find the crab meat. Disappointing!
