    Favorite dishes were their versions of spanikopita, pita bread (free) and sishtawook. Fast service and great Mediterranean vibe. Limited dessert choices so passed

    Some stuff was good, some stuff was fine. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. It was two people's birthdays which we'd demarcated in the reservation and this was not recognized. There was a rainstorm so I think staff and kitchen were overwhelmed.

    Wonderful interesting and delightful food. Great service. Interesting cocktails. It’s a beautiful, happening place, but quite loud, so not the place for conversation
