Our server Megan was terrific! We were in the back room which is rather bland-not much in terms of ambiance. The salmon was very tasty but small and the bok choy was tough-not easy to eat .

What a delightful experience. Our food and cocktails were both delicious. We started off in a bright quiet speakeasy that eventually evolved into a darker room with background music. Great service, fun location. We'll definitely be back.

Enjoyed our meal a lot. Got the broccolini, hush puppies, spanikopita and meat gyros, which was just enough for 2 of us. Everything was quite good.
