    Grilled octopus was probably the best I’ve had in Toronto. Almost as good as in Spain and Portugal -- so tender, juicy and tasty! Beet salad was surprisingly refreshing and sweet. Everything was very generous in size, bigger than typical tapas-sizes. Felt quite full at the end. Sangria was also good size. Not too sweet and very refreshing. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The host was quite personable as well. Exceptionally good value even among Summerlicious offerings. We requested a quiet table as I'm hard of hearing and a private room was provided, which we truly appreciated and made our anniversary more enjoyable. Thank you!
