Food service was a bit slow on taco Tuesday, no vegetarian options were brought out initially and we were even forgotten about twice. We finally got tacos after about 40 min. Drinks were good and the experience was worth the price.

Service was excellent. Food was good but not exceptional. We both had souvlaki (chicken and shrimp) so many other fishes would have been more unique. Bert salad was great..addition if figs was inspired. We are “outside” which was pretty noisy because there were several large crowds. Maybe inside would have been quieter.
