    Delicious food - Greek mousakka, grilled roasted vegetable salad, lamb shish kebab, gyros plate. On the house - a sliver of baklava was served. Service was good. Guitarist/singer entertained for a couple of songs while diners danced. I would definitely recommend!

    I tried this restaurant for the first time while on vacation. A lot of time was spent online and flipping through visitor magazines (probably passed over 30 other places) before landing on this one. It did not disappoint! The ambiance was perfect, and our server Grant was friendly, and knowledgeable. He suggested the walnut-crusted chicken served over butternut squash ravioli, and it was absolutely delicious. It paired nicely with a glass of Daou Chardonnay. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, and the whole experience was a very pleasant surprise. I honestly think this place would do incredibly well in North County San Diego. I’d be a regular for sure!
