I just can’t rave enough about this restaurant and their staff! This was my 4th visit there after discovering it a few months ago, and these guys have absolutely spoiled me. Brought good friends there last night and these people know fine dining and they were also blown away. Best Octopus appetizer I’ve ever eaten and I’ve never eaten a better Pork Chop! Everything is so flavorful, you’d think they would mess something up, but not one item has been less then amazing. My # 1 favorite restaurant....period! The owners are extremely warm, caring and wonderful hosts that are very attentive and I just can’t wait till my next visit. Thank you To Michael, Sammy, and the entire staff! Love you guys!

I've been to the 2nd Floor three times and it never disappoints. This truly is a hidden gem. The food, atmosphere, staff, and owners are great! Can't wait to go back!
This tiny restaurant is AMAZING! So private and staff was super nice. Don’t rely on the website for food - the chef changes it with the seasons! Just call ahead of time to make sure! But overall, the meals were delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. The specials we got were fried brussel sprouts with goat cheese and grilled octopus (separate dish - both not pictured) and the portions for the entrees were perfect!!
This is an upscale eating experience that cannot be matched by any place in the area. A small apartment turned intimate dining experience, it is hard not to fall in love with it. When the meal's over, I recommend moving to the bar and let the night continue on just a little longer. You won't want to leave just yet.
Five Stars is an understatement......last night was our 5th time here and Michael and his crew never disappoint..... place has a cozy "Feel Good" Vibe and the menu is simple yet covers all the bases. The meals are Exquisite !! The Octopus appetizer is a must...If you have never had Octopus, don't be shy, you will not be disappointed. * * * * *
We really enjoy eating here! Michael is very welcoming and the chef comes out to make sure all is well. The food is delicious, the menu is creative and we will be back of course! We sat in the back room this time. Unfortunately a big party came in and they were basically yelling instead of talking. We couldn't hear ourselves with our 2 dining partners...
Seriously GREAT FOOD!!! Outstanding, warm feeling from the second we arrived to the time we left. Food here is made with love and pride. Each dish we had was outstanding! The octopus app was the best octopus we had all year! Our server was fantastic!! All in all, we can't wait to come back!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
We had an awesome experience at 2nd floor restaurant. The host was exceptionally thoughtful and accommodating. Our waitress was fantastic. The food was delicious. I very much enjoyed the hanger steak and the cinnamon croissant dessert. Thank you to the staff for making such a wonderful birthday dinner!
Love, love this place. Owners Michael and Sam nail it. Great atmosphere, unbelievable food (get the octopus!) and perfect drinks. Friendly wait staff and bartenders. And don't OD on the homemade bread sticks, save room for dinner. Come here if you want a quality meal, screw that Pier nonsense.
Good things come in small packages. This tiny upper level venue in the heart of the West End offers an excellent menu. The shrimp with asparagus were succulent. The hangers steaks were tender and prepared at the perfect temperature. Cocktails were expertly execuited. Do miss this place ! Be sure to make a reservation.

I would give you 10 stars if available - First time there this past Friday 8/3/2018 with brother and sister in law.... absolutely lovely and delicious! Service was great - awesome personalities! Mike a pleasure meeting you! Can’t wait to have dinner there again - the grilled octopus was amazing! See you soon ❤️ Many regards Kat
We had our yearly Christmas dinner. Called ahead and spoke with Michael (Fabulous!) as there are 2 vegans and 1 vegetarian. Sam the Chef prepared vegan apps, entree and dessert! Everything was delicious! The dessert, a cashew ice cream resembling an upper scale bananas foster. I love the pastry chip with sugar and salt (a nice twist that was like a cherry on top!) I could go on and on about this meal. We felt pampered!!! Thank you Michael and Sam for a very memorable dinner. You have arrived! Brava~
I will be letting all of our clients know about 2nd Floor. XO!
