Great food...even a few options for a non seafood person

-THE BRO- -THE BRO- Mar 2026

Went here in March of 2026, I had the grilled octopus, and the ravioli. Both were very good highly recommend and it’s off the beaten path. Like most restaurants in the city and on the small island recommend getting seafood due to its water location great place to go if you’re in the area for lunch.
